Coots

A year ago Joan & I wandered around the Maple River State Game Area, out beyond St. Johns. An excellent place to spend an afternoon.

My first notion for the April 21 photo shot--photograph something reflected in the car mirror--wasn't remotely successful. So I shot a few photographs of Levon Helm's book and picked the best for 366 Snaps. While I'm not entirely happy with the photo, it was intended more as a memorial/tribute than anything else.

The Band's pretty much my favorite musical group, and Levon was among my favorite performers. Largely by coincidence I was listening to his music when I learned he'd passed away last April 19. So I grabbed his book--it was already in my reading queue--and started reading his account of his life.

Since the photo-a-day outtakes consisted entirely of pix I'd already rejected or boringly similar alternative versions This Wheel's On Fire, today I've gone with a photo I took later in the day....

This photograph is an outtake (well, really just another April 21 photo) from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 17
Title of "roll:" Mirror Pics
Other photos taken on 4/21/2012: The Nikon 1 got a bit of a workout, since I shot about 150 pix of birds at our feeder (predominantly of a single Chipping Sparrow, actually). At Maple River I shot over 200 pix with the V1 and a couple dozen more with the Cybershot.
