This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
July 5, 2008; Day 64.
Peter and I enjoyed a cookout with friends on Otter Pond today. Most of the day was overcast but the sun peeked out during the golden hour. This was fortuitous, because a second night of fireworks practice was less successful than the first. I knew that that street lamp would ruin my shots but I stuck to this location because I was inspired by Darron’s daily picture. Right behind this spot was a hill full of people, and I hoped to capture them in the firework’s glow. Sadly, the fireworks were much too dim to illuminate anyone. Too bad. Oh well, the practice was good.
I also had fun chasing the ducks along the banks of Otter Pond. They’ve been classically conditioned to hang close to humans since we (evidently) are feeding them. I didn’t.
