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!
Wind Power
Day 264
After spending all day cooped up at work it was nice to go down to the lake for a bit to try to find a photo for today. The wind was a little brisk to say the least and was coming from the south so the wind surfers love it on Seneca Lake, the is nothing to stop the wind for nearly 40 miles. I have seen them out there in freezing cold weather just because it was windy, I personally think they are crazy, to be in freezing cold water in the wind, I think I will just stay where it is nice and warm, and watch.

Safety Sunset
Day 263
Well drove around quite a while tonight looking for a photo, but nothing caught my eye, I even got a little lost and didn't realize where I was or how far I had actually driven, but still nothing interested me. I started heading home for two reasons, I was running out of light, and I was running out of gas and had to make sure I had enough to get home. So I figured well there's always the sunset! On my way home I stopped along side a field of corn jumped out of the car and shot away. I always wonder what the people whizzing by in their cars think. I bet some think I'm some nut job taking a picture of the sun, big whoop, and I bet some think, look at that beautiful sunset, I should stop and take a picture. Those are the kind of people I would like to know.

Stormy Weather
Day 262
It rained all day today, it hasn't done that in months, it was weird not to see the sun! At times it poured buckets and one of those times was just as I was leaving work...and had left my rain coat in the car, where it stayed nice and dry. So I hope it doesn't rain in the morning because that coat is still on the back seat of my car.

Mall Flowers
Day 261
I had to include more flowers today, I had a couple of errands to run after work and didn't have much time to look for a photo. I mean after all I had important things to buy at the mall!

September Yellow
Day 260
I love the late summer wild flowers that show up, even though I am pretty sure these are just some kind of weeds, they are everywhere brightening up the fields and along the roadside. They are a hardy but pretty bunch!
"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us." -Iris Murdoch
