Whoa! How did it already become the last day of February?! I took a walk on the beach and saw this weird stick and couldn't resist a photo (okay, okay, I pretty much take pictures of everything, weird or not). What a nice day it was! I miss California! It's just not the same in Louisiana. Just. Not. The. Same.

Okay so I took about 600 pictures on this day. This one is not my most scenic or the best use of my camera or anything like that. However, it is a moment in History... My thoughts go out to all the poor people in Chile who suffered an 8.8 earthquake.

PS. I did not heed this warning -- I went to the beach and people were surfing!!! (the water ended up rising only 1 ft in the end).

Um, yeah, kind of obvious.. you can tell it was the end of the day and I didn't have a picture yet...So this is the table that I was sitting at. I liked the lines, but am not super excited about this photo. I guess that is what this project is about though -- trying to see something when you otherwise wouldn't!

I took a drive around New Orleans today and I don't know why but this barn near the tracks near the industrial canal just spoke to me. I was a little afraid of someone coming from within that barn to jump me, but I persevered. New Orleans is a great place to take pictures of run down buildings (sad but true).

I am practicing learning my camera, so this is my attempt at manual focus. I also played with the ISO and things to see what differences there were. Again, in my hotel room. I don't get out much. ;) This is my hotel issue pen and paper..(with my 365 project list written on it).

This is not a very exciting one, but I am tired and (obviously) I haven't finished unpacking yet and I am probably not going to tonight! However, here is a glimpse into my hotel living....out of a suitcase...

My job is going into storm (aka Katrina) damaged properties (schools etc) and assessing damage. This is a beautiful old school, built in circa 1910. Now it is moldy, dirty and gross. This sink caught my eye.

It rained. We walked...I saw this spittoon, sitting in the perfect lighting and with a reflection to boot.

This is not a very inspiring photo for number 50, but its a good day
even if it doesn't show! Now I'm just relaxing, watching the Olympics
and having a glass of wine. And may I add, sitting next to two drunks
or two idiots...or two drunk idiots!!

Back at work! Without the cars this would be great...however, I had to post it anyway. As I left work, the sky was purple. Thank goodness the days are getting longer and we don't have to always be in the dark anymore!

Who doesn't love shells? I love them...and rocks! I was lucky to have a nice sunny day without too much snow, although the wind was whipping me around and the beach was freezing!

Bur Bur...That's the sound of the boats in the New Bedford Harbor. I didn't see any whales, but I saw many, many fishermen. And clam boats, lobster boats, crab boats, fishing boats...etc... This boat was falling apart. I think they brought it over from the Azores in the 60s!

In honor of the Olympics in Vancouver, here is a photo of the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Unfortunately, the inside was "closed jusqua March" but the outside is still pretty darn cool. We drove around it a few times and got about 1.4 good photos.

A cold snowy day in Montreal, a walk along the river...what more could you ask for?

Alas...

I know I haven't been posting, but I have been on the road and I don't
have Internet. I have been taking some great pictures on my travels
with my new camera, so I decided to not use photos from my iPhone.
Instead I will wait and post the last couple of days as well as today
and tomorrow's pictures on Thursday when I arrive back in Internet
land. Sorry I am slacking!!!but hopefully what I have in a couple days
will make up for it!
Happy Mardi Gras everyone!

So...Funny story. I went to a Mardi Gras Parade tonight to get some good pics for my picture of the day. Mardi Gras is on Tuesday, but they have parades from about 3 weeks before to the actual day (and more). However, I didn't get ANY good shots. I really suck at taking pictures in the dark, especially of moving things. So, Mr. Lovely needed a new suitcase, so off to TJ Maxx we go, him shopping, me snapping pictures of everything, and waiting to get kicked out by security (what am I, a spy from Marshalls?). And this is what I got. Its not my favorite shot ever, but its colorful, which is always a plus.
