WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m writing this in New York where we live most of the time. The images from February 15 and 16 were taken in Connecticut where we have a weekend house. I edited the February 15 and 16 images in Connecticut and somehow only brought a portion of them back to New York. This may not be the best image of the day. I’ll be back in Connecticut next weekend and will update this post if I find something better. This photo-a-day thing is very demanding in terms of having a set and consistent workflow. I’ve edited this entry to include the first two images below. I was separated from these files when I first prepared this post.

Day 1,584 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago: Field in Warren Connecticut.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A nice sunny day for a walk in Central Park with a camera and boots with a good grip. This is Valentines Day. I gave Maria the red crystal heart. She noticed that I have used the crystal heart thing in the past and commented that the collection idea is nice but perhaps not as nice as a pair of shoes or an article of jewelry. I guess I need to diversify a bit on my Valentines giving. I’ve edited this post to include the first image below, which is my favorite for today. My travels separated me from the file when I first wrote this post; we’re rejoined now so here it is.

Day 1,583 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago: Episcopal Church, Morris Connecticut.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well this certainly has been . . . winter. Winters are quite variable here. This one has been tough – one major storm after another. We’re not giving up and moving to Costa Rica yet, but the challenges of moving around in a large city in appalling weather kind of wear on you. This is shooting up Lexington Avenue in a blizzard, and looking West from our offices.

Day 1,582 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.

On this day two years ago: Big Girl.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Some day. I got up bizarrely early to go to a meeting that started at 7:00 AM and actually ended at 9:30 PM. I decided to walk to it, despite the bitter cold, because walking would be my only chance at exercise, and walking presented the possibility of getting my daily photo done in the dark. I went to my office first and saw a nice dawn breaking across Manhattan so I captured it, fulfilling my daily photo obligation early. On the short walk from the meeting to its continuation at dinner at the Four Seasons I managed to find a new (to me) angle on the rat at Lever House. Not great but an accomplishment under the circumstances.

Day 1,580 without a break of at least one photo a day every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year: Fog. Yeah, another “fog” but this one is really elegant. A favorite.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A cold brisk day for a walk from the Upper East Side to Midtown. Some just ok images, then I ran into a pedestrian 50s era white brick building that was transformed by reflections. Three frames stitched in Photoshop and converted to black and white. One of my favorites for a while. Then later in the day in my office.

Day 1,579 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year: Tanner Hill Road.

On this day three years ago: Film!

WARREN CONNECTICUT – We took advantage of the snow that fell over night to strap on our snowshoes and wander out across the New England landscape, generally following snowmobile tracks. There was lovely soft light and windblown snow. As you can see from last year’s image snowshoeing isn’t an uncommon pastime here this time of year.

Day 1,578 of my daily photo blog. Without a miss.

On this day last year: Snow in Warren.
