Clyde Bentley's photostream  

My 60th year is gone, but recorded day-by-day in this 365 Project.
Taking a photo a day was at once enjoyable, annoying, anxiety-producing and calming. I could not have done it without my camera phone -- there were too many times when "the moment" appeared when least expected.
Will I do it again? Perhaps, but not in the same style. On a second-go-around, a theme would be more challenging -- shadows, self-portraits, puns, etc. But for now, the camera is off.

I wasn't quit sure I would get to the magic 365 number. As it is, I get an extra day in this project due to leap year. But nothing tells my story better than this: I'm just a guy with a wonderful wife, a comfortable life and the prospects of more snapshots that this album can hold. I'm happy.

It is amazing how screwed up a set of 364 photos can get. I spent hours today checking the photo numbers against the calendar and finding photos that were misfiled. As frustrating as that was, it was also fun to walk through a year of my life. Tomorrow is 365, but because of Leap Year I get an extra photo in my year.
That is, if I can get the numbers straight.

We have tried a variety of hummingbird feeders through the years will little success. This one, however, not only looks modern but draws birds like flies.

It rained today. Make that poured. The parched soil lapped it up and summer-dressed strollers simply got their shoes wet.
