Winter tried to make a comeback today, and we may be battling more snow tonight and tomorrow. The inclement weather has put a damper on outdoor photography so I chose a macro photo of a trailer hitch ball.
I know it is kind of an odd choice to shoot macro photos of, and perhaps the subject is a bit esoteric for most photographer's or viewer's palates, however, this photograph was the best I managed to shoot today for my daily photograph, so I chose to post it.

I focused today's daily photograph on birds in flight. I haven't seen that Merlin falcon around for the past couple of days, and the birds have started to come around, so my chances of photographing different birds is looking up.
The most interesting photo I shot of a bird in flight was this photograph of a Eurasian Collared-Dove stretching its wings out in front of it as far as possible, while flying from one tree to the next, then calling to other doves nearby.
Their calling and alert noise isn't too bad as of yet, but pretty soon, we'll have 30 to 50 of those critters around here, and they rarely quiet down until late summer or early fall. They are pretty birds, but I don't look forward to the constant coo-coooo-coo all day long.

I didn't spend much time on my daily photo project today. Just a few minutes spent on my daily, and then I cut open my head, going under a low branch on a tree.
However, before I gave myself a concussion, I shot some photos of the nock end of some aluminum arrows used in archery. I intend to start shooting target archery on a regular basis as soon as it warms up sufficiently, so I got my equipment out and thought the nock ends of arrows would make an interesting daily.

I wanted to go on a photowalk today, but life often intervenes in my photography plans. So, needless to say, by the time I had a chance for my photowalk the weather had degraded, and the skies had turned gray, which put me off of my walk.
Late in the afternoon, I went out and looked for something of interest to shoot, thinking today may become a desperation photo day.
Luckily, I spied a subject that I had photographed in years past, but until recently, had been underneath about two feet of snow all winter. With poor lighting that was fading fast, I shot some photos of this subject, but I didn't expect to shoot anything worthwhile to post.
Fortunately, I was wrong, as this photo of a rusty nail, surrounded by dead leaves and ice turned out fairly interesting. I think one of the points of interest is the short DOF in the photo, capturing focus on a short section of the shaft of the nail.
The nail itself has been in this flowerbed for probably five or six years now, and it is interesting to see it rust more and more over the years.

My day started out good, and quickly went downhill. Started feeling poorly and went to bed for most of the morning and mid-day. I forced myself to get up in late afternoon, so I could get my daily photograph shot and taken care of.
I didn't think I'd find anything to photograph with daylight fast fading. So, I spied a pair of Eurasian collared-doves (probably the same ones I shot for yesterday's daily) and was following them around the yard, shooting photos of them as they moved from tree to tree.
After a while of looking up and shooting photos of these birds, I happened to look down and was suprised to see one of the cottontail bunnies that live around here, sitting about 10 feet away from where I was standing. So I shot a few photographs of this critter, and I knew right off the bat that I had my daily photo, when it took serious notice of me, sniffing the air heavily as I shot this photograph, which is why its nose is curled up in a big sniff.
I named this critter "Frosty" the first time I saw this rabbit, mainly because I originally spied it during one of the days where we had thick rime ice on the bushes. That, and Frosty had a unique patch of white around its eye that I use to identify it.
All in all, I'm happy with today's daily photograph, since I thought I was going to have to go into desparation mode, to get it done.
