Doug and I bought snow shoes today, and immediately went out and tested them at Waseeka Audubon Sanctuary in Hopkinton MA. It was a gorgeous day, not too cold, but still snowy enough to make the snow shoes fun. We saw 3 deer but didn’t get decent pictures of them. We also couldn’t walk the whole loop trail because some beavers have flooded the pond, cutting off part of the trail.
Here’s Doug taking one of his potential Project 365 shots for the day. 
some kind of critters ran across our yard last night. I suspect the smaller tracks belong to a squirrel. The larger tracks could be a fox, skunk or neighborhood dog, among other things.
Happy New Year. This is the beginning of what I hope will be a
successful year of Project 365. Project 365 is a photography challenge
where you take one picture every day for a year. Sounds easy, but I
hear that after a while it gets difficult or tedious or boring. But I’m
going to give it my best. My plan is to take pictures that are notable
of a given event when there is one but to otherwise just take shots
that look interesting to me. I will probably borrow from Flickr’s page
of Project 365 weekly challenges as well http://tinyurl.com/949yl4. I hope people will check back often, which will help me stay motivated for this project.
For picture one, I just wanted to acknowledge the day, which is of course the first day of the new year:
