Sunflower

This sunflower's not in our yard, but (like yesterday's photo) it lived and died in a planter. The planter in question decorates the sidewalk in front of our post office.

Note that I've cropped this photo to square, as I did the 366 pic. I'm not entirely sure why I began doing this with the new year. Here, by the way, is the original photo.

==========

Last January 7 I shot eight Saturday morning photographs on Mulliken's Main Street, seven of which are good enough I'd be willing to use them to illustrate something if I had a need.

The daily--Creative Taxidermy--is basically a shot down Main Street's sidewalk from in front of the library. I should point out that the buildings in the background are nearly a mile distant; the tele foreshortens, and can be misleading.

While Creative Taxidermy's unattractive building seems to belie the firm's name, he's been at this location longer than I've lived in this town. Apparently he does good work, as he opens his door every morning, and seems to be thriving.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 8

Other photos taken on 1/7/2012: Joan and I visited her mom at the farm (123 shots, using the Sony; a sample). I also took 12 photographs to illustrate eBay auctions, using my D300. Finally something here!
