Day 116: Plums

This isn't one of my favorite photos. When I uploaded the photos from my camera a few days after I took this it didn't come out quite the way I wanted. That's what this project is about though, trying new things. I have yet to miss a day which is what my real goal has been.

"I am putting real plums into an imaginary cake." -Mary McCarthy

Day 115: Window

Thursday, April 28 was my last day of finals of my freshmen year of college. I took this photo before I drove to RMU to take my calculus final. I was trying to capture the cracked paint on the window and siding.

"It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it." -Stephen Wright

Day 114: Piggy Bank

This was my grandmother's piggy bank from when she was a kid. A few years ago she gave it to my sister.

"It's a piggy bank, and every month they shake money out of it... Eventually, you have to start putting cash back into the piggy bank." -Maryann Keller

Day 113: Leaves

Our Maple tree finally has its leaves! That is usually a good sign that summer is almost here.

"General principles... are to the facts as the root and sap of a tree are to its leaves." -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Dat 112: Tulip

The tulips were in full bloom today! I was able to get a close-up of one of them.

"All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind." -Abraham Lincoln

Day 111: B&W 7

This evening I had fun with the shadows that were created by the street light.

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow." -Helen Keller

Day 110: Kitchen Light

"Have you any idea how many kids it takes to turn off one light in the kitchen? Three. It takes one to say, 'What light?" and two more to say, 'I didn't turn it on.'" -Erma Bombeck
