A Photo a Day (also known as Project 365) - What is it?? It's exactly what the name implies - a photo is posted each and every day for a full year. You can choose to impose whatever rules or criteria you wish- some photographers insist that the photo be taken the same day it's posted, others will post an older photo that they "Photoshop" the day they post it, and still others don't impose any rules at all. My goal for this project is to take several photos every day and choose the best from that day to post. I have been able to stick to it for the most part (with one or two exceptions so far). I carry my Nikon D300 wherever I go- it's now like one of my limbs. It's one of the most challenging things I've ever committed to doing but so far it's been well worth it. If you've got a minute to spare, go ahead and hit the slideshow button. And don't be shy about giving a photo a “thumbs up” or even commenting if you see something you like. :D
Lastly, for those visitors that aren't members of Smugmug, the photos posted to this gallery are critiqued by photographers that belong to the "Daily Community". If you click on the "DailyPhotos" link above (it's next to my name), you will be taken to a gallery with photos posted by other the members. There's a lot of beautiful work out there.... you can get lost for hours.
Day 177: Saranac Lake IV - Cheers!!
June 27, 2009
This photo was actually taken on Thursday but since Ken and I spent the entire day on the road traveling from Saranac Lake to the east end of Long Island, I didn't have the time or energy to take a photo for today. This shot just about sums up how happy the hubs was. Lower Saranac Lake is his absolute favorite place on earth. He used to camp there every year for over 2 decades but hasn't been there since we married in 2000. He planned the entire trip for us and I have to say, I was less enthusiastic about it than he was. I had only been camping once before and it wasn't in a tent- it was in a cabin. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the experience. I am wholeheartedly looking forward to another camping trip next summer. The smile on Ken's face was not induced by the delicious margarita served at our favorite Mexican restaurant which is located in the Lake Placid/Saranac Lake area. He looked like this the entire trip- even when it rained. He was so in his element and he felt like he was "home". I now love Lower Saranac too as well as camping. But next time I doubt he'll treat me like a princess. He was just trying to break me in this trip and did all the heavy work. Next year I'll have to carry my own weight. :) A huge thank you to the hubs for one of the best vacations EVER!! xoxo
I'll be creating an entire gallery for my trip under "places". It'll be named "Lower Saranac Lake". It's a beautiful place- well worth a peek. Meanwhile, I posted four days worth of PODs- this shot is day 4. Wednesday through Friday are the prior 3 shots.
