After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC.

241: New Blossoms, Old Barn
Well the winter dulls are starting to fade away and the beauty of spring is coming.
I'm late on commenting, so I have seen the future, i.e.: the B&W version... this is much better. The flowers "POP" much better in the color version. The barn seems to "exist" more in the color version. The B&W version "appears" so blurry that my eyes are immediately drawn there and the flowers are lost. The barn strains my eyes in the B&W ver. Have I said that I like the color one better? For kicks and giggles, I wish I could see two more versions of this - one with the barn only in focus and another with both in focus. Both in color - just for comparison... who knows...

You do have "the eye" Elmo.
