Day 1
April 20, 2002
Morning Dove

This morning I woke up earlier than normal especially since I went to sleep late. I think it was because I kept my window open over night. What that means is I get a lot of light in my bedroom and I do like it dark. Also I live off of a 4 lane road so the road noise started in too. Now I have gotten used to the noise but I think it just added up and I WAS UP.

So I went out and, I know boring, jumped on the computer and checked out what was going on in Flickr land. Now I do my computing from my living room. It faces out a decent sized picture window overlooking my backyard. It is not all that big of a yard as my house only sits on a quarter acre of land but still. The back of the property has a tree line which kind of obscures the view of the neighbors and provides me a fairly peaceful view. The neighbor on my left I hardly see and she is quiet anyway. The neighbor on my left is the There is always squirrels all over the place and birds varying in size from a sparrow to a crow (and sometimes ducks) scooting through the area. Sometimes they even stop to say hi.

This morning I had a visitor that just kept coming back It just would not go away. And then it started to coo also which sounded kind of nice. The bird was a morning dove.

The morning progressed when all of a sudden it dawned on me that might make a kind of nice picture to represent today on my project 365. So the next time it came back (withing minutes) I grabbed my trusty camera and snapped a picture or three. It is shooting through a dirty window and, since I have a clock against my window (don’t ask... well maybe another time) I thought I want to get the clock into the picture to. So I probably will be doing some photoshopping on the picture but there you have it, my day 1 picture. Could I come up with something better for the day. You know I probably could as I have three things in mind to do. One is a trip to the local farm market. Now while on the surface that sounds busy, I think some pictures of the fruit stands or possibly the flowers might be interesting.

So now that is 1 day down, 364 to go. What on earth am I going to be taking a picture of tomorrow? I hope I make it through the day. I am not sure if I will be blogging this or just doing a Flickr thing for project 365 so, if you are interested, you can always check my Flickr account here for the latest misadventures.
