One Photo a Day: January 23, 2007

01232007_large.jpgAfter a week of not taking photos, I noticed a particularly attractive shot today that I thought would look nice.

This photo was taken of a decorative clay dish that is displayed on our fireplace mantel. This dish was purchased from a local potter in the small French town of Viviers while we were vacationing there in December of 2006. I thought that the colors were particularly vibrant on this sunny morning. The reflection you can see is that of the sunny southern skies outside our family room windows.

One Photo a Day: January 16, 2007

01016007_large.jpgWe had managed to avoid winter’s freezing blast until this week, which is unusual in Michigan. Yesterday the freezing rain came, and the temperatures dropped into the teens. As you can see from the photo, there is a tremendous amount of ice on everything, including the branches of this bush.

Although it makes for a pretty photo, it really is an ugly scene here as many trees are down and thousands of homes are without power. It’s the price we pay to live in Michigan.

One Photo a Day: January 11, 2007

01112007_large.jpgIt took less than a week to miss my first daily photo. In fact, I missed two days. Go figure.

Anyhow, I am back at it and have uploaded the photo for today. This is a photo of a good friend of mine, Dennis Markham. When Dennis is not busy talking on the telephone he can usually be found restoring Vintage Rotary Phones. Just before this photo was taken, Dennis was busy showing me some of the phones in his collection. It seems that just yesterday he had installed some beautiful floating shelves on the wall of his home office on which to display part of his telephone collection. How ironic that the telephone rang just at that time.
