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!
Hot and Dry
Day 199
These last few days it's been HOT and I can't remember the last time we had any rain more than a small shower, everything is brown, it's summers like these I am so glad for the invention of the air conditioner!

And dress by yellow candle-light
in summer quite the other way
I have to go to bed by day."
-Robert Louis Stevenson
We All Scream for Ice Cream
Day 198
It is definitely ice cream weather this summer, it has been hot hot hot and tomorrow is going to be hotter yet. I don't know about you but I am planning on hitting up the ice cream stand tomorrow too!

Summer Snowflake
Day 197
Doesn't this look just like a snow flake? A summer snow flake. Take a look at those white flowery weeds, I guess they are called queen annes lace, or at least that's what we call them, they are everywhere, along side the road, in fields, growing in the yard, they are one hardy little weed. But sometimes if you look close enough at the weeds they are just as pretty as real flowers.
"Summer has set in with its usual severity." ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Fluttering Around
Day 196
Ever notice those little white butterflies that flutter around everywhere? They look like they are drunk to me, like they have no idea where they're going or landing, but I suspect they do, they land on the flowers for a few seconds, then flutter around again land and continue on doing the same thing over and over again, they are quite cute to watch and whenever I see them I think of lazy warm summer days when there is nothing to do but sit around and stare at the butterflies.

Mom Turkey
Day 195
When we saw this turkey in the field it looked like it was just out for a walk, but as we watched you could tell there was something else moving along with it. Then we saw little heads popping up above the plants, little tiny turkey heads, you could hardly see them they were so small and they blended in with the grass and other plants, but as usual I tried to wait them out to see if they would come out of the field and maybe go back across the road. But they didn't and I was only able to get this pic of the mom and one of the chicks, the other 5 were right nearby but you can't see them because they are so small, it's amazing to think they will get so big from such tiny little things.
