Quoth the Raven

I got invited to join the One Object 365 Days Project on flickr. Although it would have been fun to do something like The Conversation, which I have taken frequent pictures of, I realized it would have to be something that I really would see every day, even when I am away from Calgary. For a while I thought of doing "the view from my bedroom window", which could over the course of the year encompass everything from road construction to the East End of Rundle to belltowers and the Arno, but it's not really an object. It could still be a fun project, I suppose. Anyway, I eventually settled on the raven totem my parents brought back with them from their recent trip to Arizona, since he's pretty portable. Then I figured he needed a name, if I was going to be photographing him every day. After some research on Wikipedia, I settled on Muninn, which is the name of one of Odin's two ravens and means "memory", which seemed like a meaning relevant to this project. So far only two pictures are up, one from our favourite cafe in Canmore (Communitea) and one at the Mount Stephen trilobite beds (about which more later), but you can track my progress on the project here.
