I am not sure if she likes me, as she keeps turning her back to me.
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. TheElmo

266: Children at the Cross
265: Bright spot on a dull day
I got up this morning and was greeted by some wet puppies and a cool breeze when I let them in. Considering the rainy cold and otherwise dull conditions I grabbed my camera anyway and headed out to pay some bills. I then realized it is Good Friday and most places are closed. When I headed back home I noticed the police escorting a group of marchers. Upon investigation I found the group was on a pilgrimage with several different churches (all different denominations) used as the stations of the Cross.
It seems in today's times participation in religious actives is proportional to the weather. I was encouraged to see this large group brave the conditions to stand up for their Christian beliefs.
In closing I would like to remind folks that the events we honor during this three day period are the Totality of Jesus Gospel. As Paul called it the 'Good News".

261: Tulip Bed
It seems I photograph flowers like most of us study the Bible. We tend to single out one little thing while most often the real beauty is when you focus on a specific thing, but not ignore what surrounds it.

260: Blossom and Buds
Well Pay day was Monday so today was shopping and bill paying. After that there was no money to go find an image so it was back to the apple tree in the back yard. I am almost about to get the hang of the new lighting set up.

259: The Light
Very early this morning a storm came raging through town. About half a mile away from my home, a huge limb, about 2 feed in diameter broke out of a very old oak and landed across the front porch of an old house. Among all the damage this light was still standing. The bulb in the light appears like a face and I am reminded that no matter what the storm, the light and face of Jesus is always there for us.

257: Dandelion
Had to break down and start mowing today. This was down in the grass and the mower missed it.

Today I utilized my Ham Radio Skills to help with communication for the local MS Walk. Photographic opportunities exist everywhere.
