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!
Stripes
Day 259
I love it when I go to take photos, or look for a photo for the day and I think I will never find anything good to photograph. so I usually do what I always do, just start taking pics, almost of anything, even things that I normally wouldn't ever take. Something always emerges from the camera that I didn't expect to see, birds that I didn't realize were there, patterns in the landscape I didn't see while I was looking at it...all kinds of things. It's fun to just go out and take photos, almost not even looking at what I'm doing and then finding a surprise waiting for me inside the camera.

Hungry Bird
Day 258
We live in an area with a lot of lakes so as a result we get a lot of seagulls flying around, they're every where, hanging in the parking lots looking for fallen food, hanging at the parks or along the shore, still looking for free food, we kind of call them flying rats, the birds will fly right up and steal your lunch. So while we were sitting in my car eating lunch the birds came looking, so we tossed them bits of pizza crust and watched them all try to get their fill. I decided to take a couple pics for something to do and I am always surprised at how delicate their feathers are, and how they all fit together so perfectly, you can't even tell they're feathers. This ring-billed gull was the one making the most noise, so I tried to toss it some crust, he got some but was yelling so much the others ended up stealing most of the pieces.

Nice Night
Day 257
It was another lovely day, and an even lovelier evening, I wish I had gotten home earlier, it would have been a perfect night for a picnic.
Leaves
Day 256
The leaves are starting to change on the tree in my front yard. It's always nice when it does change because it looks so pretty, the only problem is that those leaves fall and someone has to rake them up. Luckily that person isn't me!

Apples of Fall
Day 255
It is the start of apple picking season around here, driving around seeing the trees full of apples really puts me in the mood for the fall weather. I love the colors of fall, the reds and golds and greens, so pretty, it fills our heads with pretty color before the grays of winter arrive.
"Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed." -Robert H. Schuller
