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!
Nice Night for a Walk
Day 219
It was a nice night for a walk, finally pleasant temperatures, no humidity, nice sunshine. It seemed everyone was out enjoying the evening. I saw these two horses, they were just walking around up and down the fence line occasionally stopping for a nibble of grass, I hope nights like this are many because it was perfect.

Butterfly Kind of Day
Day 218
Today was a sit back and watch the butterflies kind of day today, so that's exactly what I did.

The Eyes Have It
Day 217
My favorite type of birds are the hawks, they are the coolest. Their piercing eyes always looking for the next meal, the way they fly effortlessly and swoop and grab dinner. I am fascinated by them, so I always look to the trees and sky and phone poles to see if any are hanging around, I always try to get a photo of them but usually by the time I stop and try to get a little close they fly away, so today was a bit of a treat when this osprey paid no attention to me at all and I was able to get some shots, now I just have to get over my fear they are going to swoop down and take my camera just for fun.
"While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
Finally Friday
Day 216
It's Friday and it has been a long week, between work and not getting a lot of sleep because of a wisdom tooth that decided to go bad, and of course the removal of said tooth made for a long and painful week. I am so glad it is the weekend and I don't have a thing to do, I hear it's going to be super hot, I think an ice cream cone my be in my future!

Not Quite Yet
Day 215
It was a lazy summer day today, it would have been better spent sitting under a tree instead of working, but at least tonight I got to enjoy the nice evening. But tomorrow's Friday and then the weekend and I have nothing to do but sit around, and I can't wait.
"Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them." ~John Shirley
