1 picture in a note above! :)
Oh MY!!! What a flowery-fabulous morning it was! Lots of brand new poppies to enjoy, and I've been watching the flowers that my friend Robin gave me...today the buds are looking like a dozen hairy fingers stretching outwards and toward the sun! Makes me wish I had them on time-lapse, how amazing it would be to watch the petals wiggle and move! I took lots of pictures but I like the way this one turned out with the bright yellow blossom in front and another fading off into bokeh behind! By the way...if this is a Black Eyed Susan, I guess the center changes color over time, because right now it's a pale cream color in there! :D I don't doubt your wisdom though, so I'm eagerly keeping an eye on those centers to watch the color change! Hmmm...I wonder if I should take transitional pictures to show this change! :D
Yesterday and today mark the halfway point of my 365 project and though I mentioned this already yesterday, I do want to encourage you to consider this challenge, because it's really fantastic as an educational tool, and also teaches discipline on many levels. I've made a lot of friends through this project as well, and I have no regrets for taking this on!
Luther Burbank (7 March 1849 – 11 April 1926) was an American botanist, horticulturist and a pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot.

I also like what you said on the 365 project and how it teaches discipline on many levels. I believe that. Earlier this year I was involved in the Nifty project on POTN (Photography-on-the-Net, my home forum) where a Nifty Fifty (a Canon 50mm standard lens), travels the world from POTN member to POTN member. The idea is that each host shows Nifty around like one would a tourist, shooting all the sites. Well, I signed up for it and it was a great experience. I was completely out of my comfort zone, both with subject matter and focal length, but boy did I learn a lot from that experience!! I was also never more out with the camera than during my Tour of Nifty! So, yeah, a 365 project may be very worthwhile indeed! Good advice!!

I admire your dedication to producing at least one image every day. I love photography but don't think I could impose that discipline on myself. I tend to do my photography in bursts taking lots of images (not all good ones by any means).
Enjoy your day and get out there with your camera!

I am doing a 365.. and above all it has shown me that nothing and no day is mundane.
