A Photo A Day, Beginning March 4, 2011

I've decided to take a photo each day for the next year and put it on my blog.  This will be simply to journal one full year of my life.  I think this will be personally interesting, if only to look back later and see how boring my life really is!  Oh well, it's a truly enjoyable life to me, no matter what.
