Sometimes you just gotta get the shot


322/365
The folks accompanied me today for a drive.........they've been pretty housebound with all of the snow. When I saw this red lobster boat, I instantly knew I found today's photo. So what if I got my car stuck in the ice and snow (with my 88 yr old parents on board) to get this shot. I was only stuck for a minute........hey.........it was a fun experience for them........they don't get out much these days......so I provided them with a bit of action and excitement. :-)

Roof collapse

A photojournalistic shot today. The roof of this gas station on Rte 18 in Weymouth collapsed from the heavy weight of the snow. There have been multiple roof collapses in the area.......luckily nobody was hurt.

It's Groundhog Day!

320/365
Come on now........you must remember the movie Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray, don't you? Well, by the looks of today's photo, it appears that movie has come into fruition.......you know, just like in the movie......repeating the day over and over again...........
I really lucked out on this photo today. I mean, really. It's Groundhog Day. The irony of the whole thing!

"Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.
D.J. #2: It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
D.J. #1: Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.
D.J. #2: [mockingly] That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here's the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a "big blizzard thing!"
D.J. #1: Yessss, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today is especially exciting.
D.J. #2: Especially cold!
D.J. #1: Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips...
D.J. #2: - On their chapped lips...
D.J. #1: - On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?
D.J. #2: Punxsutawney Phil!
D.J. #1: That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's...
D.J. #1, D.J. #2: [in unison] GROUNDHOG DAY! "
