All decked out for Independence Day. Galesburg, Michigan.

Big Sable Point lighthouse, Ludington.

I bought the big planter twenty years ago, and we've had the smaller planters for nineteen. What goes in them depends mostly on what strikes my fancy on Memorial Day or thereabouts. The hanging basket gets selected on similar whims. We also put a container behind the rail; it's (more or less) rectangular, with bright flowers, and clearly designed by the same crew as these. It's there now, but wasn't ready when I took this pic. I suppose we'll put a perennial border around the steps some year, but so far we've been happy with annuals. Cosmos, this summer. The cat? Perhaps it's a memorial for Peppermint.

Our porch. Stone Kitty used to guard the deck, but she moved out front this spring.

A flower a day for January ....

Ludington, Michigan.

These planters are, as you'd likely guess, inside our garage. I'm a little surprised I didn't post a version of this pic on one of my uninspired days. I didn't have any specific idea in mind for the day's pic, but knew I wanted to shoot something in the yard. So I just wandered around and photographed random things. On the other hand, I pretty much knew when I took it that the damaged apple would be the photo I'd post. The store picture was an incidental aftershot, unplanned but delightful. ========== No, I don't plan to write essays every day. I just have a backlog of things to say right now. I'd watched other folks do 365s, and one takeaway was that the project would unexpectedly complicate my life. There'd be days when I was uninspired; there'd be days when LIFE would overtake the project and I'd need to slip a snap in somewhere. So I decided to establish a handful of real simple rules: * Daily. * Black & White. * No descriptions. * Monthly camera changes. * Photograph Oreo on the first. If I do this again, there'll be different rules. But they will be few, and easily followed. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
