I can only pick one photo per day to be the photo of the day in Project 366. Some days I have more that one photo that I like. Here are the extras from 06 January 2016.

We took an afternoon and visited the parks at Walt Disney World. This image is from the Osborn Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights on display at Hollywood Studios. I am told that this will be the last year for this event, which closed on Jan. 06 2016.

05:366 Scrappy, the terrier mix.

Scrappy the terrier mix. We’ve had scrappy for many years now, she has always looked like the hot mess she is, and she is happiest when she is stealing things from others in the house. Favorite activity: running. Second favorite: wind in her face. She’s all dog.

The Van Fleet State Trail is a Rail-to-trail that runs 29 miles from Sumter County down to Polk County. There are three trail heads, one at each terminus north and south, and a main entrance off of County Road 565 in Lake County. You will occasionally see remains of the rail line that ran through here.

03/366 Maker’s Mark

Every year, Maker’s Mark Bourbon sends little gifts to it’s ambassadors. Last year we got the sweater, this year we received the ear muffs. The temptation was too much to not dress up my bottle of Maker’s Mark Bourbon. They do send useful things for adult sized humans as well, like a set of tumblers.

Fair warning, you are going to see a lot of EMS related images. I work 12-14 hour days, which leaves little time (or daylight) for photography on days I work. Here is the back of an ambulance. Looks much like every other ambulance out there.

Greetings and salutations. Over 4 years have passes since the last post on this blog, but now it is time to resurrect the photo blog, remove the cobwebs and dust.

I am going to make another attempt at Project 365. The third try at taking a photo every day, this project will be called 366:2016 (since it is a leap year). I may not get a blog post every day uploaded, if you want to know each and every day what image I took follow my flickr site, https://www.flickr.com/photos/joelneild/.

The first image is of the Ferndale Post Office in Ferndale, FL. 01/366.

Grove Arcade

Opened in 1929, the Grove Arcade was a dream of Dr. Edwin Riley Grove, the owner of the  Battery Park hotel which can bee seen in the photo below just behind the Arcade. Grove wanted to bring a shopping market to downtown Asheville, believing the a city needed a vibrant downtown area.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Arcade now has shops on the first floor, business offices on the second. The floors above the second are locked out, unless you have a key card.
