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!
Windy Sunday
Day 169
Today was a day for the wind powered boats on the lake, there were kite surfers, wind surfers and sail boats all out whipping around on the lake. A good strong southern wind always brings them out, the wind barrels down the lake with nothing to slow it down which makes for perfect sailing weather. I always watch them zooming around powered naturally, and always think to my self that it looks like fun, then I decide maybe not, I'm way too chicken.

Buzzing Like Bees
Day 168
Another perfect day, even more perfect because it was a Saturday. I did some errands, watched Sofie's last baseball game, took a nap, and went looking for pictures. I ended up at Montezuma very late, just as the sun was going down, it was so pretty, the gold light reflecting off the water making everything shine. I stopped at the field of wild flowers near the entrance, took some pictures and noticed the bees lazily going from flower to flower, doing their job, gathering whatever they gather in the late day sun. It was interesting watching them, they really do buzz like bees, they really do a lot of work.
"How doth the little buys bee improve each shining hour, and gather honey all the day from every opening flower." -Isaac Watts
Perfect Day
Day 167
Today was another great day, weather wise that is, a chamber of commerce day, just beautiful. I makes me wonder why anyone would live anywhere else....just remind me of that statement in December.

Strawberry Time
Day 166
It's strawberry time in this part of the world, it is one of my most favorite times of the year, I love to eat them plain, shortcake, with ice-cream, in smoothies or shakes, anyway you can think of. The best ones are the ones grown right here practically in my back yard, so good. I can't wait for the roadside stands to start popping up with all of the local produce, I love going home different ways every night finding different stands with all the different stuff. It is the best time of year.

Golden Sunset
Day 165
I noticed this wheat field tonight as I was looking for a photo for today. I was thinking if I couldn't find anything there was always the sunset and as I drove around I saw this field was glowing in the setting sun and as I got closer I noticed the riot of lines shimmering in the breeze. I thought this was a pretty cool way to take a picture of the sunset.
"Give me the splendid silent sun, at sunset." -Walt Whitman
