Bike (41/366)

~*~

It was a weird mix of emotions. One day, your best friend could be killed. The day before, you could be celebrating him getting a brand-new bike.
~ Jay-Z

Five (40/366)

~*~

One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.
~ Mae West

With the extremely mild winter we've had this year, the wildlife has been very active when they normally are bedded down for the winter. 

These five were crossing the road as I was leaving work.

Straw (39/366)

~*~

Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers.
~ Lord Byron

Wind (38/366)

~*~

A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.
~ Catherine the Great

Or in the case of our 1-ply Windsoft bathroom tissue at work, a pain in the ass.

Mouse (37/366)

~*~

I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - 

that it was all started by a mouse.
~ Walt Disney

Our payroll person has this little mouse sitting just inside her office door

The damn thing scares me every time I walk in!

Morning Moon (36/366)

~*~

“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkien

There is nothing better than looking to the east, seeing the sunrise, then looking to the west, catching the moon before it sleeps for the day.

Diagonal (35/366)

~*~

The line of life is a ragged diagonal between duty and desire.
~ William R. Alger

I tend to gravitate towards macro/still life photography. It makes me happy. But once in a while mother nature gets on her high horse and forces me to do something different.
