365 Photos

I am now on day 22 of my own 365 days of photos project. For those that don’t know the goal of someone participating in the project is to simply take a photo everyday. Some folks go for a theme, some just grab a quick snapshot. Me, I am just taking my camera everywhere and taking photos of anything interesting. The long dark winter of Vermont may make for some challenging days ahead or an optimist might say “provide some opportunity for something a little different”
