219 : 365 What’s Your Name?

It’s reassuring to see something growing on an old piece of wood in the middle of winter. 

I have a friend that can name any fungus we come across while walking in the woods.  Unfortunately, she wasn’t with me when I found these.  I don’t know their name but I enjoyed taking a good look at them.

217 : 365 Returning

Repetition is a theme in my photos.  It is a theme in my life.  Going to the library is something I am happy to do over and over.  

I love the library.  I worked at the libraries of both the colleges I attended.  I am so grateful that I can take my kids to many different libraries – all within a few miles of my home.  My kids give names to the libraries we go to.  Today we went to the main library in Oakland. They call it the Big Library.  They have named it well.  It is big.   We had trouble parking today which reminded me why this isn’t the library we always go to.  But, their collection is amazing and it’s fun to just be in the building.  

After many years of trying to remember when my books we due, forgetting and paying fines, we have settled into a weekly visit.  That way, all the books are due on Wednesday and I only have to check once a week.  

In this photo, Augusta is looking for books about volcanoes.  Why?  Her brother loves volcanoes.

The floor he’s running on is covered in bubble wrap. And there are balloons everywhere.

Are you in Pittsburgh? Do you have kids? This is at the Carnegie Museum as part of an exhibit about playgrounds. We’re going back.

There are a bunch of reasons I think these daily photo projects are worth the effort.  

Here’s one:  When I am still on the hunt for the day’s photo, I enjoy their bedtime antics.
