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!
The Children
Day 349
I have to admit, I was so busy at work today that I didn't hear about the events of the day until much later in the afternoon. I hadn't heard of them when I went to lunch and stopped at a small park where we often eat lunch. I have seen this playground just about everyday of the past 3 or 4 years, it is on the road I take most often to and from work, but today for some reason I wanted to photograph it of it for the photo of the day. I don't know what drew me to it after all this time but today was the day, and later when I found out what had happened I thought it a perfect picture of the day...an empty playground.

The Sun!
Day 348
I was late to work this morning, nothing was going as planned, I overslept, the dogs were not very fast outside, I even burned my toast. So i was headed to work, late, and couldn't believe my eyes, the sun was actually out, I just had to stop and take a photo, making me even later, but not much and it was worth it, after all I had forgotten what it looked like!

Movin' on Up
Day 347
When I saw this little bird flying up to the next wire the theme song from the old tv show 'The Jeffersons' came right to mind. I don't know why, maybe I've watched too much tv in my lifetime, but not I can't get that song out of my head! And I took the picture on my way to work at 8am!!

Decorations
Day 346
I love driving around looking at the christmas decorations on all of the houses. I love them all, the elegantly simple ones, the insanely tacky ones, all of them. In fact I always wanted to be one of those people who started in September setting up and spent a years salary on the electric bill for the month of December. But I also would like to be one of those people who have a big old house with a tree in the window and just a couple decorations that are very understated and pretty. I guess when I grow up I will have to have two houses!

Red
Day 345
I thought we needed a bit of Holiday cheer today, I mean seriously, with the oppressive gray rainy cold day a little color was in order. So what's more cheery than a bright red ornament? Not much!
