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!
Morning Light
Day 18
Even thought today is Friday it could have been a Monday for me. I just couldn't get going this morning and neither could the dogs which didn't help. So I was late getting going to work and to top it off it was 9 degrees out, nice and chilly. So of course on my way to work the sunrise was especially nice and I managed to see a whole lot of photo opportunities. The light was beautiful and if I had stopped I would have been an hour late, but I did manage to stop for a quick minute and shoot a couple of shots of this farm just waking up, the gold light and the pink clouds were so pretty I had to be a little late to work!

Snowflake
Day 17
It started to snow a little today while we were at lunch. But it was so cold that the flakes were kind of big and they didn't melt right away so you could really see the shape and how delicate they are. I started to get mesmerized watching them fall and stick to the window. I wish that snowflakes were around when it was much warmer so you could stand outside and watch them without danger of freezing to death.

Middle of the Week
Day 16
I love the late day sun, especially in the winter the sun looks weak like it is trying to warm up but can't. Like it's heater isn't working and it's trying and trying to do it's job. The good thing is the days are getting a little longer each day, even though it's just by a couple minutes they are still getting longer. Pretty soon I will be able to drive all the way home in the daylight, when that happens to me at least winter is almost over!

Just Another Tuesday
Day 15
I really really wanted to stay outside this morning and enjoy the view. The sun came out a little and the light was so beautiful, even though the only thing I saw it shining on was a warehouse building, a bunch of parked trucks and the back of the building I work in. So at least it was a pretty walk in from the parking lot.

Simon
Day 14
Simon is the A dog, he is the older brother and it's funny how he acts like a big brother to Divot. Actually he pretty much ignores her, most of the time, but they do hang out together and conspire. For example Divot waits patiently while Simon tips over the small trash can in the bathroom so they can rip up tissues. But mostly Simon is my buddy, he is my protector, my watch dog, the dog that comes when I call him, and sits when I ask him. He has soulful eyes that I can't resist and a short stubby little tail that is always wagging. He would do anything to please me and I try to do everything to please him.
