A Day With My Camera
This week, Brandi’s challenge was to go on a bit of a photo safari. I’m not a photographer, but I do like to take pictures. Nature is usually more my thing, trees, birds, flowers etc. But today, I took my camera with me all day, and when I remembered, I snapped a picture or two. So come on, let’s go, you’re coming with me through my day. (you can click on all of these to make them larger, some were left very large so you can see more of the detail.)
As I left for work, it was a beautiful sunny day.
This is a pine tree in my front yard with the sun behind it.
Not sure why I took this one, it’s the gate to my backyard. But I like it.
Once at the office, I took this from our front window. This is across the river from us, this is the city you are likely seeing on the news. This is Detroit, and the buildings on the right, that’s GM headquarters.
This is the view from where I sit at work every day. I am thankful to be working. Very thankful.
Coffee time. This is breakfast. Every day at 10am I have coffee with a very good friend who used to work with me. He was let go in the first round of cut backs a few years ago. Thankfully, he now works across the street. I am also very thankful to have so many great friends.
Off in the distance, but always visible.
At the construction site across the street, a man was getting a bucket ride.
A closer view of some cool buildings in Detroit. My favorite is the reddish one on the right. Zoom in on the detail. It’s quite beautiful.
The ships have started moving again along the Detroit river, part of the St Lawrence seaway.
When I returned home, I noted that my tulips are doing quite well.
After dinner, I went for a walk on the trail. These shoes always catch my eye.
At the base of the lighthouse.
At the marina.
A pedestrian bridge.
From the bridge, this is “Little River”
I love this old abandoned building and it’s faded sign.
The faded sign on the front is different. Is it spelled wrong?
This is a fork on the trail I was on.
At this point, the sun was setting and chose to head back home.
That’s all. I hope you enjoyed my little photo tour.

I love ghost signs.
Very fun! I love the shimmer of light on the water of the little river. Rivers always look so *alive* to me.
The canal here in Ottawa is slowly melting. One more warm week and we’ll have waves too!
Very cool photos! And a great view from your office building. This city is quite photographable!!
wow. you live in an absolutely beautiful area!!!
I especially like the shot of the bridge over the river.
but…since when is a stack of change breakfast??? 🙂
Lol…the stack of change, yes I meant to comment about that. I wanted to say that I was grateful for having enough money to buy a coffee every day without having to think twice, and thankful that I resisted buying the donut. 🙂
You must never ever again say you are not a photographer.
You have “the eye” and it catches beautiful scenes, and interesting objects (the gate)…and much much more…all well done!!!!
