This is one of my favorite photos I took all year but it wasn't used as part of my 365.  I took it on Day 57, the same day I took a macro bug shot that I like a lot.  I had posted several of these open shade on a white background portraits already so I decided to use the bug shot over this one.  

Well here it is, the last one.  Come back in a couple days, I plan to re-post some of my favorites from the year.

This was taken with my sister's Canon EOS Rebel.  I intended to test it out by shooting some action shots of her kids running around in the yard but it was dark and rainy so I shot from inside the house.  This is Day 365 so the project could be over but because of the leap year there is one more coming.

 A couple years ago we were in Chicago for our anniversary and stopped into this restaurant.  It's nothing fancy but inside it reminds you of a scene from "The Godfather".  Today we decided to go back ... and it was closed.

Woke up with severe back pain this morning.

Week 2 of 6 on trips to Angola, IN / Coldwater, MI.  Michigan has a nice simple logo.  I like it.

One of those days.

Many times I have tried to make a cool photo with this light in our kitchen.  It never seemed to work out so here is just a straight shot of it.

It is very difficult to take a quality photo everyday.  Many days I just post what I have. (like yesterday) I have decided that when this is over I am going to spend a year focusing on quality and have set a goal of creating a portfolio of at least ten "great" bird photos.  For those of you asking me to keep going with a photo everyday (Mom) I will instead start a new blog about my quest to build this portfolio... but it won't be everyday.

An early morning shot of the lake before heading in for eight hours of Six Sigma training.  This is actually in Michigan.  Angola, IN is very close to both the Michigan and Ohio borders.

I had to travel to our corporate office in Angola, IN for training this week.  When I first arrived they set me up so I could check emails, etc and the only place available was the conference room on the big screen.  I took this and sent it back to a couple people so they could see how well I'm treated in Indiana and maybe I need a better office back home. :) The response I got was, "They take care of you because they don't want to lose you.  Where else would they find a monkey to work as cheap as you do?"
