365 Project: February 10, 2017

Last night's full moon was indeed gorgeous, but I didn't photograph it. I enjoyed it very much and will photograph future full moons, of course. I had already photographed a scene that I am very familiar with, but haven't previously documented. There is a field access/dead road that intersects that paved and well travelled road that I use to go to and from work. My 365 project has been suffering over the last two weeks. I forgot to take one already. Many have been cell phone snapshots. On Friday I wanted to capture the sunset in the melting snow puddles. I stopped at this field entrance to try to capture the ruddy tracks traversed most frequently by tractors and large equipment.
I love finding beauty in scenes that a person would typically just drive by.
I am annoyed at how many signs get used for target practice. However, I do enjoy the opportunity to allow the sun to peak through and the vandalism allows for an interesting sunburst.
So far, I'm trying to maintain a photo a day at the very least to re-establish a habit. Hopefully I will find an opportunity to create a meaningful image more frequently. I enjoy trying to elevate the seemingly mundane things that I pass by every day. I hope that you take an opportunity to pay closer attention to your surroundings as well.
