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!
April Snow
Day 114
I knew it would snow again, I didn't think it would snow this much but it did, the good thing about snow storms this time of year is the snow melts fast, in fact by the time I got home from work it was almost all melted. So enough is enough, time to get warm again, let the flowers wake up again, and the trees to finish flowering, no more snow. I want to put my winter coat away for good, I want to ride with my car windows down and sleep with the window open. I want everyone to remind me of this when I am complaining that it's too hot this summer.

Questions Questions
Day 113
I suspect anyone who has lived in this area has seen this boat, I for one am fascinated by it. It's been sitting along River Road for as long as I can remember, my best guess is around forty years, maybe more. It's not near anything but farmland, there's a house sort of nearby but that's abandoned too. I've gone by and wondered why? Why there? Why on blocks and not a trailer? Did the owner have no intention of ever putting it back in the water? You can still see ropes having in the back, curtains still in the windows, even the window on the bridge is open to let air flow through. it's kind of sad to see it, sitting there decaying season after season, year after year. Every time I drive down the street I expect to see it fallen apart in a big heap of boards, but it's still standing, I'm sure when it finally does collapse I will miss it, what will I wonder about then?

Wet and Green
Day 112
The weathermen really don't know what's going to happen each day, do they? It was only supposed to rain this morning, by this afternoon a little bit of sun, but as of right now 9:07pm it's still raining. I tried to wait till it stopped before venturing out, but at 4 I figured I better get going, I didn't really feel like looking but I noticed with all the rain, everything is turning green, all the little plants and weeds have sprouted and right now makes everything look like a bit of a tropical rain forest, which is nice, but it's wet, really wet. I'm not a big fan of the rain so I hope it stops tonight, like it's supposed to.

Reflected Silence
Day 111
I went back to the park tonight to see if the reflections of the docks still looked the same, they did and actually a little better, the sun was out and the water almost makes a perfect mirror. You can see the trees the sky and the docks, it looks so quiet and peaceful, I like quiet and peaceful. I wish I could have spent more time there tonight, but alas hunger won out and I left to get some dinner. Luckily I can look at this picture anytime I want.

It's late tonight and I have to go to bed, so here is tonight's sunset for you to enjoy...
