T and I walked to the gym this evening. On the way home there was a little house being guarded by two of these little lions.
Inspired by Flickr's "Project 365" and my friend Kathy, I will attempt to post one picture per day for a year starting August 1st 2007. Sometimes the pictures will be artistic, sometimes they will be things that were important to me on that day and other times they will just be pictures of things I thought were funny. I am sure a lot of poorly shot, poorly composed photos will be taken, but hopefully so will one or two great ones.

226/365
Tulips in our garden. In this photo I was playing with using the zoom and macro functions to accentuate the depth of field and blur out the background. I'm not sure I got the focus exactly where I wanted it but I like the shot.

#225 Fire hydrant
Something that first struck me when I moved to the states was fire hydrants.
We don't have them in England, so I'd only even seen them in the movies. Suddenly there they were, they really are on almost every street corner, dogs really do pee on them and you really do get parking tickets it you park in front of them (about the only parking ticket I've never recieved).
About a week ago someone put this Jack in the Box coke cup on the top of it at a jaunty angle, if you squint a bit it looks like a little man with a small head in a tall hat. Or at least it did at 9:30pm last night when I was walking home and realized I needed a picture.

#223 iPod
My laptop unexpectedly bit the dust in January. I spent most of the evening rebuilding my iTunes collection on my new laptop.
I remember the first time I saw an iPod, it was 2001 and I thought it was the coolest device ever made. It seemed so small and so slick and so futuristic. This is my 2nd Generation 20Gb iPod. Which now looks big and clunky and out of date

#222 Into The Dark
Feel like T and I spent the entire day in Golden Gate Park. We walked to the Kezar Stadium and ran laps on their track. Then we walked across the park for lunch. On the way there's this cool tunnel that leads from the music concorse to the childrens playground. Becuase the sun was so bright it looked like a huge dark void with a childrens playground on the other end. This shot didn't come out quite as well as I'd hoped but I liked the shadows.
