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!
Green Fields
Day 204
Se what a little bit of rain does, makes everything grow overnight and turn green, we still could use more rain but I'm not sure very much is forecast in the near future. We are into the lazy days of summer, in the afternoons there always seems to be a chance for thunderstorms and the clouds seem to get bigger and puffier.
"I drifted into a summer-nap under the hot shade of July, serenaded by a cicadae lullaby, to drowsy-warm dreams of distant thunder." ~Terri Guillemets
Zoo Day
Day 203
No I didn't go to some exotic land for a safari, today was zoo day! We took the girls to the zoo to see all the animals, it was a ton of fun, watching the sea lions get fed, seeing the tiger jump into its pool and sit because it was hot, the lions lounging in the shade right by the observation window. Kids love zoos, and they know way more about the animals than I do, it's funny they tell you about them like we don't have any brains at all. Kids are great, and after a long afternoon walking around they fell asleep in the car on the way home!

Finally Rain
Day 202
Those drops on that leaf is rain, the first rain in a long time. You could hear the grass turning green in happiness. It was a gray day, but I didn't mind, it had been a long time since we had a gray day, so one every summer isn't bad, as long as it's only one!
"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow." -Gilbert K. Chesterton
Flower Bush
Day 201
I guess it's a good thing we haven't trimmed this big bush, because there are a zillion of these flowers popping out now, it's so nice to have some color even though it's just basically white, it's way better than just the brown grass that's everywhere.
"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
Bubble Time
Day 200
Tonight was big bubble night at our house, we let the kids run around as kids like to do and pop all the bubbles they could get their hands on. They had the best time fighting over who could reach them first, little kids get to have the most fun, running around with abandon and endless energy...they made me tired just watching them, but they also made me smile.
