  2. Photo Challenges

Photo-a-Day 2009

This gallery represents a return to the Photo-a-Day challenge. The goal is to publish one photograph shot every day in 2009. There are no set themes, so the subjects will vary widely from day-to-day. The last time I took this challenge was in 2006. Here is a link to my 2006 Photo-a-Day Gallery.

Honey Bee

I stopped at Crescent Park today, unsure of what to photograph. Then I saw some honey bees pollinating these nice purple flowers. This bee was most cooperative, and I was able to get this shot against the deep green backdrop. That background is actually a series of rhododendron bushes.

  • <center>July 21, 2009<br>Vibrant Weeds<br><br>I'm not sure what these weeds are called, but they definitely caught my attention. These were in a small parking area off Veteran's Parkway.<br><br>East Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 20, 2009<br>Leaning Piling<br><br>Back to Bold Point again for today's shot. This piling reminds me somewhat of a gallows with the rope dangling as it does.<br><br>Bold Point Park<br>East Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 19, 2009<br>Ducks on the Docks<br><br>Another stop by Bold Point reveals these handful of ducks lounging on a sunken dock just off shore.<br><br>Bold Point<br>East Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 18, 2009<br>Roadside Shack<br><br>This little shack sits in the tiny village of Twin Mountain. It made a nice subject on an early morning in the White Mountains.<br><br>Twin Mountain, New Hampshire</center>
  • <center>July 17, 2009<br>Portrait of a Goose<br><br>There are flocks of geese and ducks at the Old Grist Mill. They're so used to being fed that you can literally walk right up to them. Here's one such goose that didn't mind having a closeup taken while he munched on some grass.<br><br>Canada Goose<br>Seekonk, Massachusetts</center>
  • <center>July 16, 2009<br>A Day on the Beach<br><br>Here are a handful of gulls sitting on the sandy shore at Sabin Point<br><br>Sabin Point<br>East Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 15, 2009<br>Old New England<br><br>Here's a classic example of an old New England town church. This one is nestled in the town of North Woodstock.<br><br>North Woodstock, New Hampshire</center>
  • <center>July 14, 2009<br>Franconia Ridge<br><br>This is why I hike. Here's a view of Franconia Ridge Trail as seen from the summit of Little Haystack. The peak in the distance is a false summit before reaching Mount Liberty. This is a great 8 mile loop that spends about 3 miles above treeline in the White Mountains.<br><br>Franconia Ridge Trail<br>Franconia Notch, New Hampshire</center>
  • <center>July 13, 2009<br>Grazing<br><br>Hidden in the middle of one of the most congested parts of Rhode Island are a series of 19th century horse farms. Here's one of them along Angel Road in Lincoln.<br><br>Lincoln, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 12, 2009<br>Hidden Shack<br><br>Well, actually not a shack at all, and certainly not hidden. There is this stone garage or storage building on Woodward Road. It looks like it may actually have been an outdoor market stall or something of that nature when this area was all farmland. This photo is from one overgrown side, but the building is quite long.<br><br>North Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 11, 2009<br>Pebbles<br><br>This is actually an indoor shot of some craft pebbles I picked up a while ago. I rather like the texture of the rocks.<br><br>North Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 10, 2009<br>Feeding Swan<br><br>I went to Bold Point for today's photo and saw a number of mute swans dipping into the shallow water and coming up with some grass. I thought this one would make a nice shot.<br><br>Bold Point Park<br>East Providence, Rhode Island</center>
  • <center>July 9, 2009<br>Flying Fish <br><br>I've been waiting for an opportunity to photograph this cupola over Whole Foods. The dramatic sky in the background coupled with some HDR processing made today the perfect time for the shot. <br><br>Whole Foods<br>Cranston, Rhode Island </center>
  • <center>July 8, 2009<br>High Water <br><br>It was the high water mark that drew my attention today. Compare the water level with earlier shots of those pilings and you'll see what I mean. <br><br>Washington Bridge<br>East Providence, Rhode Island </center>
  • <center>July 7, 2009<br>Mooring <br><br>I stopped at India Point for today's photo and decided to take this shot of a mooring on the docks. <br><br>India Point Park<br>Providence, Rhode Island </center>
  • <center>July 6, 2009<br>Marine Patrol <br><br>Here's an interesting HDR shot of a Marine Patrol boat heading out on the Seekonk River. <br><br>Bold Point Park<br>East Providence, Rhode Island </center>
  • <center>July 5, 2009<br>Indian Head <br><br>Now that the Old Man in the Mountain is gone, Indian Head on Mount Pemigewassett is the only remaining natural rock head formation in the state. Chief Pemigewassett used to use these cliffs as a lookout. The mountain now bears his name as a tribute. <br><br>Indian Head<br>North Woodstock, New Hampshire </center>
  • <center>July 4, 2009<br>Raging River <br><br>This is the Oliverian Brook on Mount Passaconaway. Normally it's a gently flowing stream, but after almost two months of rain it's a raging river. <br><br>Oliverian Brook<br>Conway, New Hampshire </center>
  • <center>July 3, 2009<br>Come Sail Away <br><br>A boat house at India Point now gives sailing lessons, and here's a class out on the Seekonk River. <br><br>Bold Point Park<br>East Providence, Rhode Island </center>
