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!
Foggy Morning
Day 124
I really like fog, it sucks up sound and and makes everything cozy. This morning it was crazy foggy, in some spots the sun was out in others you couldn't see 50 feet. While I was taking the dogs out this morning I could see the fog pour in over the lake like it was a liquid or a living thing moving around, it was very cool. It's hard to get a picture of fog, or at least one that shows it's movement, this picture doesn't show that, but I was late for work and could only stop of a moment, I do like the way the sun was trying so shine through the fog and the way it made everything look silvery like the country side is waking up for the day. Eventually the sun finally was able to burn through and it ended up being a nice warm day, a little humid though, which did wonders for my hair.
"My little spirit, see,
Sits in a foggy cloud, and stays for me."
-William Shakespeare
Santa Clauses
Day 123
You wonder how come you have so many dandelions in your lawn? Blame it on the santa clauses and the little kids that blow them everywhere. Much like the helicopters of yesterday, it only takes one of those almost lighter than air santa clauses to make a flower, but you know what they say...one man's flower is another man's weed.
Helicopters
Day 122
Isn't it amazing how many maple seed wings, or in the technical term helicopters, are on one tree? The tree in front of my house has about a zillion hanging from the branches right now. Pretty soon they will be fluttering all over the place looking for a place to land and sprout. As my friend says, it only takes one to make a tree! Could you imagine if even half sprouted? You wouldn't be able to see any thing but trees there would be so many. I guess that's why there are so many, so just one or possibly two survives to make a nice big shade tree to sit under.
"The trees are God's great alphabet:
With them He writes in shining green
Across the world His thoughts serene."
~Leonora Speyer
The Horses
Day 121
There are two horses that reside in their own little fenced in field, with their own little hut for shelter. I look forward to seeing them everyday on my drive to work, they just hang out together munching grass or checking out odd noises or smells, heads up ears alert. They're never very far apart from each other, like an old married couple, I don't know anything about horses and how old they are so these two could actually be young, but the way they follow each other around is like they've been together for fifty years. It's comforting to see them every morning, it's a nice way to start off the day, seeing two beings living together in perfect contentment.
"Horses-if God made anything more beautiful, he kept it for himself." -Author Unknown
