PHOTO OF THE DAY: Another personal project designed to capture and post one photo a day for the next 365 days. The photo may be the most ordinary to the most sublime. Whatever it might be, it is sure to be a slice of my day viewed by my eyes as worthy of capturing for posterity.
Friday's on fire with tulips like these on the WSU campus.
May-flower week continues with two pink tulips on the WSU campus.
Day Four of finding and celebrating the glories of Springtime. Orange tulips on the campus of WSU.
In continuation of this week's celebration of spring flowers, here's a red-and-yellow tulip.
In celebration of the bounty of spring flowers that one sees in abundance during the month of May, I dedicate this week to the beauty and glory of these May-flowers! Following on the heels of that pink crocus from my garden yesterday, here's a proud daffodil on the campus of WSU today.
A pink crocus in my frontyard. April showers bring May flowers, indeed!
Rising gas prices: the bane of our existence. $4.39 and 9/10 of a cent?!!!
Poppies on campus. In commemoration of a beautiful Spring day, albeit a little windy. Also, in commemoration of a royal wedding across the Atlantic on a small island nation called Great Britain. ...
A bust of Copernicus graces the grounds of the Detroit Public Library. Don't miss the blooming forsythia on either side. Wiki tells us this: Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543...
Open More Doors Starting This Summer-- what a great exhortation! And for effect, what better place to put that message than on the outside of a set of elevator doors? Press the elevator button, and...
The WSU Campus Dept. of Public Safety-- they have the whole building, btw!
The sun will eclipse the brightest of street-lamps in the day, of course, but at night, I'll bet these two lamps lined up on both sides of the street in the Tech Town area of the WSU campus in Midtown Detroit will offer more than ample light to pedestrians on the sidewalk. Note to LP: there's your pole!
Beautiful crocus in my front yard. Blooms every year whether or not I notice. But how can one not notice such fragile and fleeting beauty? Here today, gone tomorrow, but sure to return again next year!
Big Yellow Birds are the best advertisers of your product or service! This big yellow bird stopped to pose and smile for me even as I hurried to take the picture from the passenger side of the car...
Big shiny dog sculpture outside the Detroit Children's Museum. I was told yesterday's photo was missing a dog by my good friend LP, meaning of course, that the image of the open sidewalk looked very...
Art imitates life. The New Center Building in the distance in Downtown Detroit just as the street banner bears a picture of the same. At one time, the New Center was the world HQ for General Motors. A beautiful sight on a beautiful day!
This Friday, the 22nd is the annual Earth Day-- the one day set aside (who set it aside...?) to ponder over the future of our planet and to determine to keep it green and healthy and all that good stuff. Well, last evening, I saw this mannequin in our local Macy's highlighting just this fact. She's dressed in biodegradable paper, btw, and you can see the various logos about the date, etc. I didn't fully get it-- if she's dressed in paper how can that be good-- wouldn't she need a new dress everyday?!
View from my window; snow's all gone today!
