23,526. Â That’s how many days old I am as of today. Â 23,526 good days, bad days, amazing days, boring days, heart-breaking days. Â Days spent herding children, learning in school, playing in the garden on the farm. Â Learning to sew, learning to knit, creating in stained glass, learning to dance…no, wait, I never did that.
Somewhere along this progression of days, I fell in love with photography. Yesterday I made a decison to join the 365 Project (again), and to post a photo every day for a year — and 365 is a very small number of days in the big scheme of things.
For today’s photo, I went back to the wild flowers again. Â I had a choice of pictures today as the bumblebees are out, the flowers are beautiful, the clouds were interesting…but it’s tough to beat a dragonfly who poses for you.
Are you wondering how many days old you are? Â Here’s where you can find out.

How do you always get such close-up pictures. Love the dragonflies!!
Sheri: Super zoom, a steady hand, and patience. I couldn’t do it without super zoom, 42 times optical (Nikon P510, but the P520 is out now). This is a little dragonfly, maybe 1 1/2″ long. He was probably 8-10 feet away from me down in some tall grass. Strong winds were blowing his wings down, and he’s holding onto that blade of grass for dear life. Sue
The detail in your pictures is just incredible. Fact: I’ve lived through 17 leap years.
what a handsome guy or girl. great photography. Your grandmother would be so proud.
