Update 2015 - the marathon was a success but in 2012 my daughterinlaw passed away.
Keep fighting cancer!
A marathon has been my dream. Photography has been my dream.Why don't I combine the two of them to fit my physical and financial limitations?I would like to take a new photograph every day for the entire year of 2010. Just pictures of everyday life for 2010. Like a picture diary.
Due to various health issues I have to deal with every day the physical challenge will be in 'taking photographs everyday" while at the same time it is within what I should be able to do if I push the envelope a little.
My digital camera makes it possible for me to to take on this project because the only cost will be a few batteries.You can join me on this Photo a Day by going to RedGage where I will be posting my pictures Starting date is Jan 1, 2010..

The Great Depression Era - 1930's
This property (in Canada) was my grandparents original family homestead in the wilderness as it looked during the depression era of the thirties.
I remember visiting my grandparents cabin often! It was always homey and full of love. Often my grandmother was taking homemade bread from the oven when we arrived. Of course they made their own butter and we were quickly offered a slice of warm bread with this wonderful fresh butter. When a home is full of love you never feel poor. As kids, we never knew our family was poor and struggling with bad economic times."

Loons in Canada are protected by law and can not be hunted.
Loons subsist entirely on a diet of fish and other aquatic animals. For this reason, they are particularly susceptible to the damaging effects of air and water pollution.
