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!
Gloucester Part Two
Day 119
Another short post tonight, but here are the photos of Gloucester I promised...
Gloucester
Day 118
My second stop on the tour of New England brings me to Gloucester Massachusetts, we arrived at just about dark so I was only able to get this photo, besides the dark it is wicked cold and windy! So I didn't walk around much, just took this pic and got where it's warm. I look forward to exploring more tomorrow, oh and throw in a trip Exeter New Hampshire too!

New Tulips
Day 117
I'm on a bit of a vacation this weekend so I didn't have much time today for a picture, I was traveling. So here is a photo of my friend's tulips, she planted them this past fall, so this is kind of their baby picture! Aren't they cute?
It will be a short post tonight, but stay tuned for my further adventures from this weekend, they should be interesting!

Pink
Day 116
Even though it's gotten cold out again, the trees are still flowering and making yards cheery and bright with their colors. This is a pink tree in my yard, it's not a big tree but it has a lot of these pink flowers, I can't remember what kind of tree it is, I should, we bought it for my Dad for father's day one year. I think it was one of the best gifts we ever gave, now every day I can look out in the back yard and see it grow, this time of year is my favorite because it's the only pink tree around our neighborhood and it's in full bloom right now, and I'm so glad.

The Tree
Day 115
This is the tree in the front of my house, my father planted this tree when I was about two years old, so it's been here just about as long as I have, 29 years! HAHAHA!! But seriously, I remember playing in the front yard and him telling us not to pull on the tree it's too small, it'll break, that tree was just a little thing, a few inches around when I was little, now it's HUGE, it almost completely puts the whole house in the shade in the summer. I took a picture of the tree for the photo of the day because of the snow we got yesterday, it was wet and heavy and damaged a lot of trees, on my way to work I saw several that had huge branches broken or the whole tree down because the heavy snow was too much, but not our tree, it's still standing, as it has through out my life, 45 years of wind, and snow and rain and 2 sisters and their brother, growing along with it and playing under it's ever widening canopy of leaves.

The trees bend to cares me
