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!
Dinner Time
Day 304
It's dinner time and these cows were hungry. You can tell because it was raining and they were standing there in the rain eating like there was no tomorrow. That is until I stopped, then they had to see what I was doing, if maybe I had some more food for them, something better than what they were eating. Cows are such pigs.

The View From My Car
Day 303
Today's photo of the day is courtesy of hurricane Sandy, it was dark all day and by the time I left work it was raining and windy. I actually thought I might have to take a photo of the dogs today but for some reason i decided to pick up the camera and shoot out the front window of the car while I was at a stop light. I thought it came out kind of cool, all blurred and wet. It's a small miracle that I got any photo at all today, I was able to take 2 shots and then the battery on the camera died, I forgot to charge it last night...it's kind of like running out of film...you only do it once.

Sunday
Day 302
I'm going to admit that I didn't get out of my pajamas all day today, and it was glorious. I took the photo of the day first thing this morning, it's of the fire bush in my front yard, and since it rained all day I was so glad I didn't have to go out in it. So I stayed in all day cuddling with my 2 dogs and watched football, another thing I never do, hmm I might have to do this more often!

It's Nice if You're a Duck
Day 301
Another gray day, and it was sort of rainy, not a log of rain but enough to make everything wet. I was having no luck finding a photo today, nobody with any sense was out in the gloom. So I went down to the old stand by, the park, to see if anything was happening. The only things out and about were the ducks and even they were trying to stay dry. As I was driving along the lake all I could see were the brilliant green heads of the mallards as they were bobbing up and down as the ducks rested in the water. It's a nice bit of color on this gray day.

Day 300
Day 300
I couldn't resist another sunrise photo this morning, this one was particularly pretty. Just like a picture...haha! But I thought it was perfect for the 300th day of the year, an unusually warm sunny day for the end of October. As I was driving to work I could see the sun coming up in my rear view mirror, and I had to stop, I probably would have stopped even if I wasn't going to take a photo it was so beautiful. I will never understand how people can just whizz by in their cars and not stop and look, we should all take a moment to stop and look, you don't get picture perfect days very often.
