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!
Poppies
Day 139
I love poppies just before they pop, they look like little aliens, or little pod people pods. Actually they're just creepy, with all the fuzz on them, and the way they bend and curl around each other, but still they are kind of cool for all those same reasons. I wish they lasted longer, and the same goes for the flowers, they are so fragile just a little wind and they are damaged, so enjoy them while they're here, just don't walk through a field of them or you'll fall asleep...

Daisy Daisy
Day 138
It's so nice to drive home after a long day at work and see a field full of daisies, their little yellow faces turned up toward the setting sun, you can't help but smile. This photo a day project has made me focus on other things, I can't just drive home and stew about work, I have to look at the world outside my car. In the past I would have just driven home and not even noticed these little flowers that some consider weeds but are too cute to be. So remember to enjoy the little things, the things that normally go unnoticed, often they are the things that bring the most pleasure.

The Row Houses
Day 137
I always wanted to live in one of the row houses on Main Street here in Geneva, ever since I was a little kid I thought it would be the coolest thing, I loved how they were all different colors all lined up all in a row...sorry. But now a days, I still would like to own one of them but I wonder if I would still think it's the coolest thing around, there are only windows in the front and back, which I could live with, and the neighbors are super close, which I might not be able to live with, and there is no parking which I couldn't live without. But still, when I grow up I want to buy one, remodel the whole thing and fill it full of art and a piano, oh, I and I want to learn how to play the piano too.
The Boathouses
Day 136
I live in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, and one of those fingers is Canandaigua Lake, a cute picturesque lake, part of the charm of the lake are the boathouses, they have been there in one form or another since the 1850s. They have been the subject of many artists and photographers, including this one. Throughout the summer I hope to document some of the other fingers of the Finger Lakes, each one is different in it's own way and has it's own personality, I look forward to exploring them myself!

A Case of the Mondays
Day 135
Today was one of those days that I just couldn't seem to 'see' anything. Not sure what the problem was, maybe just a case of the Monday's but I continued on and drove around, just for the heck of it I looked up and saw a little bird in the trees, that was lucky, I only took one photo before the bird zipped away. I continued on took a few other photos that I didn't like and went home to eat dinner, maybe that was it, I was hungry! But any way I got this little picture, and now it's on to a new day and a new picture.
