2016 Project 365

This is my second year of Project 365.  Last year I found it a bit of a challenge but the reward is a daily journal of photos. This year I’m not following along with an organized group.  I’m just making up my own rules as the year goes by!  I will try to post a photo a day.  But only if it’s a good photo that reflects a moment.  Or maybe I’ll post two photos for the day…or three…or none.

Hope you enjoy following along!

Day 260, September 21, 2016, So yesterday I showed this photo of Maggie sending me vibes about me being a lame-ass mom for not giving her more hotdog bun. Today it was a hamburger bun for the fish.

Right?  Oh, don’t think I’m abusing the pooch.  She gets about a quarter of what I’m throwing into the water!  And, by the way, I LOVE this snap of Maggie!
Feeding the fish

They get knocked back every winter but come back strong in the summer.
