Welcome to the Photo a Day Project blog, where you can read about my adventures in my quest to take a photo every day for the whole year!
Sunrise Flight
Day 339
It was a lovely morning, blue sky with nice pink clouds floating around. Just before the sun came up they were the pinkest, I think that is why the birds start flying around at that time of day, they want to be up there in the pretty pink fluff. I bet it is fun to be a bird, flying up there looking down on all of us humans, feeling sorry for us that we cannot be in the pink fluff with them.

The Tree
Day 338
It was a nice night, that's why I decided to take a photo of the city's Christmas tree, I figured I didn't even need to wear gloves so I wouldn't wait till later in the month when it might be freezing and I couldn't feel my fingers. I like to try to take pics of the lights, it's kind of like trying to get good photos of fireworks, you never know what you will get. But the one came out nice, it was clear and the lake was calm, so clear that you can see Rose Hill Mansion in the background, it's clear across the lake, has to be at least a mile away, it adds a nice touch, without the leaves on the trees you get a good view, you can even see the huge columns on the front of the house.

Tis the Season
Day 337
I love the smell of fresh Christmas trees and wreaths, it is the smell of comfort, of simpler times. It just smells lovely, like Christmas, or the woods after a nice cool rain in the summer, but it's not as nice as the Christmas smell! Now if it will only stop raining.
"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." -Norman Vincent Peale
A Busy Day
Day 336
For some reason I can't think of anything clever to write tonight, maybe I'm too tired, it has been a long busy day. So I will leave you with an interesting quote...
"All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it." -John Berger
One Month To Go
Day 335
Today is the last day of November, only 31 days left in the year, 31 more photos, I never would have thought I would get this far but now there is just one month left. I wonder how I will feel the last day of the year, relieved? I bet there will be relief but I also be that I will still continue to do a photo of the day, it's a habit now, and I enjoy it, it keeps me off the streets!
"If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera." -Lewis Hine
