Day 251/365 - All the leaves are brown.....

What did I do here, I picked up the rake pointed it into some sunlight and snapped a couple closeups. I thought it looked rather neat and I kept this one for my shot.

...and the sky is grey...

Day 249/365 - There's a place Where I can sit Just me, myself and I .....

I don't know what this is, it looks like some sort of old waterfountain that is now overgrown with weeds due to lack of use or care. It sits across the street from this long entrance way to what is now some sort of hospital in Attleboro. The building is reminiscent of some golden age of mansions and the like, yet it has been converted into a hospital. The grounds here are immaculate and serene, even being right behind a Stop & Shop. You can't even tell....

I love the natural lighting I got here and the unique shapes and textures with the full frame shot....

....On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond....

Day 248/365 - Youre so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

This is a shot out my frnot door the other day as the sun was setting behind the trees, I didn't think it would come out quite as good as it did. It's hard to get any sunset shots from the house, too many trees and obstacles (houses) on all four directions. I need to drive out somewhere for those...

Simple point and shoot trying to capture a great sunset sky....

...I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and......

Day 247/365 - I have often walked down this street before; But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.....

I was looking for something to shoot today, something at all. This was on my way home in my work car, shot through the window to try and capture the peaceful look of the street near mine. I think I capture the moment somewhat.

A little glare and reflection from the glass in the car but otherwise I like the simplicity of this one.

...Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live....

Day 246/365 - Who's gonna win Who's gonna survive Who's going in Who's staying alive.....

The next day at the hospital I took a stroll while Mommy and Baby slept, I get antsy all cooped up in the same room for so long. I shot this out of the window near the bank of elevators. I could have used a more personal photo of the baby, but he had all those tubes and wires attached to him, so I chose the stark buildings instead as a post. This was taken the day the Hurricane Dan was passing by....

Simple shot, a bit dark, I took a few others from the same vantage point, but the long open shutter got them a bit washed out. This one is decent I thought.

...Who's gonna win Who dares to try
Who's gonna Ride The Hurricane's Eye.....

Day 245/365 - take me down to a paradise city.....

Not much you can take pictures of when you are stuck at the hospital with a sick little one. I did enjoy the view out of the hospital window though, great city scapes out there towards Providence.

I framed this one, using my 70mm to 300mm lense and kept it as still as I could. It's a tiny bit blurry but acceptable for me. Neat looking building at night...

...where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.....

Day 244/365 - In the red room, with red curtains.....

I only had some pictures of my dinner I cooked tonight which was a sausage and pepper stew, tasted quite good by the way. I was looking for something around the house to capture and the red glow of the closed curtains enticed me so I took a few shots. The cat was behind the curtains for a moment but he took off.

I like the deep red color here, the light at the top is the clearing in the trees outside...

...near the station. Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings....

Day 243/365 - The long and winding road That leads to your door.....

I was driving back from Sturbridge when I noticed my rear passenger door was slightly ajar, so I pulled onto the next street I saw which is what you see here. Some winding road that leads to some sort of Nature Preserve, it looked deserted, not a car in site, hmm , peaceful at least...

Just looked up and down the road and snapped a few shots....

...Will never disappear
Ive seen that road before....

Day 242/365 - Give me fuel, give me fire.....

Wonder what I was doing in this picture ? Hmmm, using electronic devices near the fuel pump, tsk tsk.

I like the bright colors in this shot. you can even see how much I was up to in $ at the time and those numbers were cranking fast, good speed on the camera....

...give me that what I desire....

Day 241/365 - The teacher said I had my head in the clouds....

The last few days of this heat wave we've been having have loaded up the sky with huge cumulus clouds. Here are just a few samples of what we have been seeing, so amazing, wish I could just jump around in those things....

Long range , used the telephoto to get this, stupid tree branch jumped into my shot somehow, post editing can take care of that though ...

...I've got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground...
