    A Photo a Day Keeps the Doctors Away

    I was wondering if anyone would like to join me with "a photo a day"?
    I thought as a way of distracting myself from some of the less painful days I have, that I would post a photo a day for those of you who take joy in seeing photos on an ongoing daily basis. I love seeing all of the photos you take. It's a nice break away from the everyday. I thought it would be fun.

    If you're feeling up to it and have the time...

    I took this while on a walk with my very tired Mom. She's an oil painter and she has a good eye. June always reminds me of pretty things.

        Diana,

        That ship is breath taking. I love the water and anything to do with it. Was it a festival of ships or just The American Rover?

        I hope you are feeling better by now.

          Kara---thanks for the well wishes. i'm slowly starting to feel a bit more human-like (i'm battling bronchitis and pneumonia ) .

          The American Rover is a local tall ship that offers cruises down the harbor. It's also available for charter for special events......This picture, however was taken this past weekend during Sail Virginia 2007, a 4 day long festival of tall ships from around the world and the States. I posted a few pictures on the other photo thread if you're interested in taking a peek.

          The pond picture has a very tranquil feel. The flowering plant/weed/bush-did someone plant that there, or did it show up on its own?

            D,

            That's really interesting about the Ships. I will look at the rest of your photos on the other thread. Those flowers, I believe were planted. There's a small community of gardeners around that area that work together. I hope you start to feel better soon.

              This photo taken today of one of my gladiolas that just started blooming.

              What a nice idea Kara! Your garden and water lily flowers are so beautiful!
              Diana, I love that photo of ship. It is a terrific photo!

                Nice idea Kara.
                There's not too much to get excited about in my garden at the moment. However this cactus always does its best to brighten a dull area. I have no idea at all what variety it is but its 'hardy'... Thats why it has survived!

                      Hi Rosalie!
                      That cactus looks just like mine! We have had it since my oldest was 5 (now 18) it took that cactus about 6-7 years before it "bloomed". I just wish we new exactly what type it is!

                          Janie,

                          That fuscia color captivates me every time I see it in flowers. It's almost so bright it's meditating.

                          Tracey and Leelee,

                          Can't wait until you gather yours up.

                          Rosalie,

                          I wonder if we can look that cactus up for it's name?

                          (We found a Deer Nest on a walk through the woods) I've never seen one before.
