Day 68 paying the price

Tough day the day after a marathon all I wanted to do was rest. So this morning I hobbled across the road to collect the mail camera in hand and snapped this temporary road sign associated with the tearing down of the bridge in town

Day 67 another day, another marathon

Just some shameless self promotion today. Today I ran the minneapolis marathon, my 14th marathon. It was a tough day that necessitated a trip to the first aid tent due to the conditions and on top of that I stepped in a pothole at mile 23 and limped the rest of the way in so I deserve this medal.

Day 66 Starfish

My in-laws have quite the selection of items lying around their home. Like this old starfish for example.

Another leaf Day 65

Well as I'm on a roll with planty type shots I might as well continue

The return of the Pine cone Day 64

As a result of this picture a day project I've developed something of a fascination with pine trees and developing pine needles and cones and today I found a very young pine cone. I've never seen a green one before. it had to be todays picture

Day 63 The great Contradiction...

...about this P.A.D. project is despite the fact I profess to being a general disliker of all things plant-like I seem to be photographing a lot of them...

Day 62 Hosta leaf up close

I really like Hosta leaves close up there's a quite the feel like the colours were slapped on there with a palette knife in some kind of impressionistic way
