Day 390

This morning, there was a beautiful sunrise.

Day 388

This morning, I woke to a beautiful sunrise. I took a photo of it with the holly leaves backlit.

Day 374

This morning, I went out on our back balcony to take photos of the beautiful sunrise through the barren trees.

Day 369

Early one morning, the windows were fogged again. The sun hadn't crested over the horizon yet, but it's light gave a pale glow through the trees. The fog diffuses the light, making it softer. I like to focus my camera on the water droplets that cling to the window, so the back ground is obscured.

Day 367

A few days before, my husband and daughter had drawn on our fogged living room windows. The oils in their fingers caused long term streaks, which reapeared streaked when the windows fogged one morning. These are taken through fogged streaked windows with the bright early morning sunrise coming through the trees and windows.

Day 127

Today, we will start with a sunrise and end with a sunset.

This is a little after 8am.

There were many birds flying around the area. This one was perched on a rooftop.

These two were in this tree.

Later in the day, we went to Carytown to restock hair accessories in One Eyed Jacques and meet some friends for dinner.

This is the evening sun.

There are wild plants growing anywhere dirt is. This one is on the sidewalk.

This tree was sculpted to a point. It had large green buds on it's branches.

The sunset had started.

By the time we arrived home, at about 8:30 pm, the sun had set and the full moon shown brightly.

Day 113

Today started with a lovely sunrise.

When I walked Alex to the bus stop, I noticed this feather looking cloud.

On the way back to the house, this squirrel ran up this tree and stayed still.

I noticed that some flowers had started forming buds.

These are purple flowers are in my neighbor's garden. These are the 1st flowers I've found in our section. These flowers droop down, so I took these photos from the ground, pointed up.

I never would have seen these spots by photographing this flower from the top. By photographing it from the underside, I can see the detailed beauty of it.

The petals are so thin, that the sun glows through them.

Same type of flower, but in white.

Day 112

Today, I woke up to the North Star still shining in the sky. I photographed it while the sun rose and it faded into the light blue sky.

Later in the day, I took a few photos of leaves sprouting from the ground. I'm hoping these have flowers soon.

Day 110

Today, I woke to a crescent moon and The North Star still showing. I decided I wanted to watch them until they faded into the morning sky. This started at about 5:30am and lasted until about 7am.

I managed to get John to go on errands with me. I was the passenger, so took photos out of the window, while he drove.

This is a tree with power lines. I like how part of the photo is blurred and part is not.

There are train tracks that run beside our house. This is the section we cross over a lot, to get to other places.

I took some random photos, by just focusing and clicking. I wasn't looking at the view screen. I like how this one has the sun and a color bubble, with the tall trees.

This is another random one. I don't know what caused that bright area on the bottom left. The top right is the sun.

Day 99

This post is in order of how the day went. I took my camera with me while doing errands, so this is also a photo heavy post. I made the photos a medium size on here, because the post is having trouble handling large photos. Click on the photos to see a larger version.

I wanted to start the day by documenting the sun rise. I don't mean just my normal view of the pinks and oranges as the sun starts to rise. I wanted to show it moving up the sky. There will be a few more later in this post of the sun later in the day. I love how bright it is even in photos, but of course safe to look at then.

One of our resident crows was perched in a tree.

There were workers repaving half of our main street, so while I was stopped I took some photos of the forest on one side of the street.

There are several smaller trees with yellow leaves, among the towering trees in this forest. It's more beautiful in person. This is private land for a juvenile correction center (jail for minors/children). Besides the kids that live on the land, there are deers too...and other normal animals.

Two of our resident squirrels were playing tag or who ever gets the nut wins. This is one of them, the victor, hanging from a tree, eating the nut. It let me get fairly close to it.

Same squirrel, further up the tree, still in possession of the nut.

I headed back out to finish my errands. I took advantage of the fact that this half if the street was blocked from traffic for a bit and drove very slow while taking photos.

The main street to get to our house is very curvy. It used to be curvier, but as you can see in this photo, part of it has been straightened and the trees are cut back along the road in this section.

It's still curvy in other parts.

I love how intense the sun is in this photo. I definitely enjoyed the 78* weather.

This is in a parking lot of one of the places I stopped at. The sky looked so beautiful.

The traffic was stopped again on the way home. It's irritating to sit still for 20 minutes 10 feet away from the road to my house. However, I got to take photos of the other side of the road, so I wasn't bored. Also, I love mentally messing with people by having a camera out while people pass.

I think this is where there is a marshy area.

I love seeing trees touching. These two remind me of a couple, snuggling.

Later in the evening, I went to dinner with a group of 365 project ladies. When I arrived home after dinner, I noticed how lovely the sky looked with the full moon. I took this photo by resting my camera against my purse, on top of my car. I used the night setting and a 2 second delay.
