2010, Day 38 - Grocery Walk

On my way to the grocery store there were signs of spring coupled with the vestiges of winter. I love the contrast.

This next photo doesn't count as part of the challenge, I took it on 02/04/2010 but didn't use it because I wanted to feature different photos that it didn't mesh with. That said, it's another photo for Terri whose love of rust made me think she would like it.

The skeleton of a mattress abandoned in the woods.

2010, Day 37 - Parker

Parker is such a good boy! Not only does he greet me with exuberance whenever I visit he also models for me when I point my camera in his direction.

2010, Day 36 - Piece of Cake

Wedding tomorrow and my contribution is the cake (well, most of it) so I went by to drool over the display case and make my payment. Piece of Cake is an impressive bakery and one would think that a vegan wheat-free cake would be bland and affront to bakers everywhere but this one I've had and it is coma-inducingly delicious!

This was a stretch for me insofar as I asked the baker for her permission to take her picture, something I have resolved to become more comfortable with this year.

More night photography, I forgot my tripod but managed to find objects to brace the camera against.

Thanks to my neighbors who allowed me to invade their yard to capture their hellebore. I just hope we don't get a freeze!

2010, Day 32 - Gerber Daisy

I was attacked by an insect so I saved him to deposit on a Gerber Daisy that I picked up when I went to the store to buy soup.
