Project 2012 - Week 5

 Day 29 - Today we took a train ride on the Old Colony Railway in Rhode Island. When I looked to my right I saw the engineer and knew that this was my photo.     
 Day 30 - It was cold today and I didn't want to spend too much time outside ... so I drove to the beach and spotted this seagull at once and the next thing I know -- I've got my photo (less then five minutes out in the cold).     
 Day 31 - I came across this boat today while running errands. The inside of the boat serves as a tourist information center but the really magic is the backside .... I love how the blue & gray of the boat look against the sky.     
 Day 32 - It was a busy day with little time for photographs - I took this just a few minutes before the sun set.
 Day 33 - Today was the parent open house at the middle school. If the school looks dark and scary that's because that's the way I saw it today. At just 10 years old my daughter will be catching the bus to school at 6:30 am - no more recess --- instead she'll have 7 minutes of "Fresh Air Time" and don't get me started on the manditory week trip without parents!
I'm sure everything will be fine and she'll adjust well. And to be fair the school really isn't this dark and gloomy ... it's just that change is hard especially when it involves your baby.     
 Day 34 - Since Jan. 12, 2012 - 111 dolphins have stranded themselves along the Cape Cod Bay - only 30 have survived (it's heartbreaking that some many haven't). Yesterday though was a good day for 9 stranded dolphins - they we're sucessfully rescued and later released back into the wild. Long story short - I was drawn to the beach today - I couldn't walk the beach like I had hoped (my little one fell asleep in the car) but looking out into the distance I was hoping that all the beautiful creatures of the sea were safe and sound.     
Day 35 - Today my Daisy Girl Scout Troop joined other local troops to make Valentine's for Veterans. The 35+ girls made over 400 cards in an hour ... they all did an amazing job!
