The Lodge -- Day 310

Today I left my camera at the camp, when I went to work, just in case Amber needed it. I think this was the first time I've been without a camera for most of a day while doing my project. Since I was at work all day without my camera I had to capture a photo when I got back to camp. I took a few random shots in the evening, but didn't really like them, so just before climbing into my bed in my cozy cabin, Amber suggested a night photo. Back out in the cold I went and this is what I found.

Flower Shop -- Day 364

I originally went outside to get a sunset picture, but the sunset just wasn't that exciting, and I was so cold I didn't want to stand around and wait for the sun to go down more to see if would get more colorful. Instead, I stopped to capture the neighbor's tool shed flower shop. :) I don't really know what is inside, but every winter I see the geraniums in their pots under the window sucking up the sun.

Union Depot -- Day 198

Today, a friend was visiting and Amber and I thought it would be fun to show him the old Union Depot downtown. It's been abandoned for years and is fenced off with locked gates and keep out signs. I've been inside once, before the fence went up, but that was long before digital cameras so I don't have any photos. :) Today all we could do was walk around and shoot through the chain link fence. We did find a couple places where someone has cut through the fence, but we were good law abiding citizens and refrained from going inside. It's a shame that the law breakers who destroy things and paint graffiti all over historic buildings prevent us curious photographers from taking a few innocent pictures. :(

Overgrown with Beauty -- Day 128

After I dropped Amber off at work, I saw this house overgrown with weeds, and beautiful rose bushes. I didn't have time to stop and take photos, but I did stop when I came back for Amber later that afternoon. I like the bricks and the red flowers. I love roses and wish I had my own rose garden. :)

North Ward Elementary -- Day 98

We took a walk after church today and I thought this old building was really neat. I love old brick buildings! I wish I knew all the stories behind it. From what I found online this building was build in 1903 and was an Elementary school. It is now a museum.
I did a little editing in Photoshop to straighten the perspective.
