The Daily Joe

 Quiet Lake Just Before Dawn Photo of the Day 59/365 This photo was taken near my old home on a very calm late winter morning. The sky was "picture perfect" and the reflections in the calm water made the photo almost magical. The windless morning meant that it was cold and frosty but the overall photo made it worth having frozen fingers and toes to get it.

Dawn on a Little Creek Photo of the Day 58/365 There are only a few days when the sun rises such that it falls on this little creek near my workplace. Yesterday was one of those days. I spotted it as I crossed the one-lane bridge and pulled into a little spot and grabbed a number of shots. This one just hit so that the sun rays lit up the lens and I went with this one to share.

Just Before Sunrise at the Pond Photo of the Day 57/365 Yesterday morning gave us a glorious sunrise sky. I stopped two separate places on my way to work - and I'm glad I left my house early. The golds, blues, and grays made for a nice warm (at least to look at it) morning, knowing spring is just around the corner. There isn't a much better way to start the day.

Sunrise Sky on the Road Photo of the Day 56/365 I took this photo over the weekend when I was driving to get a friends home. We were going to a karate seminar and I was running late. I grabbed the photo as I was driving (I know - safety first, right?). I did look to ensure no one was coming and no one was behind me. I HAD to get the shot but I didn't have time to pull over, so I got what I could.

Barn in the Afternoon Photo of the Day 55/365 This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago while out on a drive with my wife. We were driving through some local farm country in the afternoon. The sun was out but the clouds were coming. The fields and trees are bare. A very country scene but I can't wait for the spring colors and warmth. I love old barns and the memories they bring back of my youth - this one is no exception.

Sunset Sky and Blue Hills Photo of the Day 54/365 I took this photo last evening on the way home from a Karate Gasshaku. I was tired but on the drive home, I saw this awesome sunset sky forming and decided to try to find somewhere to capture it. I was struggline because there wasn't anywhere - then with less than 2 miles to go, I remembered a side road with a wide vista view of the west. I was rewarded with this view of the fields, the bright blue hills and a beautiful sunset sky.  Worth the wait!

Colorful Sunset Clouds Photo of the Day 53/365 This image was taken a few weeks ago and was a closer view than one I posted. I always like to get multiple shots of different view to get the most I can from a scene. The trees in this photo seem to be reaching up and touching the clouds and the structure and colors in the clouds on this photo just make the scene attractive to me.
