Day 109: More Books

You can't have enough books! There is such a list of books that I want to read right now and it is really hard for me to find time to read all of them. I have to start somewhere and get through them as I can. Hopefully this summer will let me read more books.

"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting." -Henry David Thoreau

Day 108: Reflections in the Window

These are some of the windows on the outside of my dad's office building. The weather was great for the window reflections without too much glare that day.

"Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures." -John F. Kennedy

Day 107: More Numbers

It seems like everywhere I go lately all I see is number. When four of five classes involve math it's hard to get away from it. There were even numbers on this telephone pole.

"We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all  logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry." -Maris Monttessori

Day 106: Water Drops

After the rain today the water droplets were perfect for photographing.

"Even by the falling of water drops a water pot is filled; the fool becomes full of evil, even if he gather it little by little." -Friedrich Max Muller

Day 105: NTBMO

NTBMO in Pittsburgh was quite memorable. I chose this picture because of the smiles on their faces and it is hard to get a good photo of the boy on the right. 

"Remember even though the outside world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face and smile back on you." -Anna Lee

Day 104: Gate

These are two gates that are leaning against my neighbor's garage. It's a different pattern.

"If you only knock long enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Day 103: Dinner Plates

"Fame is a fickle food-- Upon a shifting plate" -Emily Dickinson
