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!
Clouds
Day 209
This evening the clouds looked like cotton balls after you pull them apart a little, some parts fluffy some wispy. After the dark start to the day it was a nice finish. The sun was out a little warming up the air, the clouds were like a nice blanket over everything, a summer blanket.

Tall Corn
Day 208
In my travels tonight I noticed how much the corn has grown over night, it shows what a little bit of rain will do. I think the birds are happy too, there is something new for them to eat, between the corn and the beans and the feeders in my yard that they empty every day we are going to have some fat birds flying around.

The County Fair
Day 207
We took a trip to the County Fair tonight, it was a perfect night to see all the animals entered at the fair. We walked through the horse barns, the cow and sheep barns, even the poultry barn. Kira noticed that cows are way bigger when you are up close to them, way bigger. They got to pet a baby calf, they decided it was very soft and cute, and they fed some little goats, they decided they were not very polite with all their pushing and shoving to get the food. But at least for me the highlight of the night were the pig races, the kids liked them too.

Go Fly a Kite
Day 206
It was a perfect day to fly a kite, windy but not too too windy, I like to fly kites and I don't do it nearly enough. I love to watch them floating against the wind hanging there, going as high as you will allow. It's one of the best mindless activities around.
"Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height, Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring. Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear, Oh let's go fly a kite!" -Mary Poppins
Majestic Sky
Day 205
Tonight's sky was quite dramatic, the sun was behind clouds shooting out rays to the blue sky, it was very majestic. It was a wonderful ending to a day that started out dark and stormy.
