July Photo Challenge [Day 1 & 2]

I realized today that in all the months and years I've been blogging, I've never once joined a photo challenge. I participated in Wordless Wednesdays for quite a while and hosted a Forgotten Foto Friday thing for a few months last year, but never anything DAILY. And certainly never anything where the photographs were pre-selected by someone else!

Until now.

This daily photo challenge isn't unique by any means ~ just another list of things to photograph, one for each day of the month in July. But I'm doing it this time, that's what's new! ;)

Day 1's assignment was a photo of a maple leaf. I didn't snap any maple leaf pictures over the weekend, but I take over as church secretary for the summer months and here's a screen shot of the bulletin cover for yesterday's service:

The words are a little fuzzy here in the screen print, but they're the fourth verse of our national anthem...

Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble prayer,

Hold our dominion in Thy loving care.

Help us to find, O God, in Thee,

A lasting, rich reward.

As waiting for the better day,

We ever stand on guard.

God keep our land Glorious and free!

O Canada!  We stand on guard for thee.

O Canada!  We stand on guard for thee.

Today's assignment is a street.  Now, we don't have many "streets" around here ~ at least, not what I think of as streets.  We do mile roads in my neck of the woods!  And here's one of my favourite ones, taken on Saturday.  (I know, it's supposed to be TAKEN ON THE ASSIGNED DAY, but I'm starting this challenge a little on the late side, so you'll have to forgive me.  I'll stick to the rules from here on in, I promise! As it so happens, it actually looks pretty much the same this afternoon!!)
