Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 27

It’s been at least six weeks since I’ve posted an update to my Photo-A-Day project. Hence, there’s plenty of catching up to do. That means it’s definitely time to get started! The week of July 1-7 was festive all around, and also provided some visual opportunities to look at various shapes and textures.

Remember, to see any image full size, just click right on it! Let’s take a look at the photos from the first week of July. Enjoy!

New Project! Photo-a-Day 2013 … Here’s Week 1

Along with my Lyric of the Day (#LOTD2013) project on Twitter (see today’s for an example), another project I’ve taken on for 2013 is a “Photo of the Day,” which is going to appear here on TomRants either weekly or semi-monthly, depending on my workload. I’m always looking to improve my photography skills, and seeking out an image each day is a great way to do that. Some of these will be very specific to the day at hand, and others will just be something that caught my eye.

So, without further ado, here’s Week 1 of 2013:
