I found only two photos, both taken August 7, 2015. Both were taken with my iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>At 11:19 am I captured a cicada emerging from its exoskeleton on a tree several houses down the street from where we live. The other photo, taken at 10:18 pm, was our dog Sunny settling down in my lap to take a nap. The photo of Sunny wins hands down as my best August 7 photo.<\/p>\n<p>You can guess where this is going. What would I find if I picked out my best photo for every date of the year? I already know there are some dates in August for which I do not have a single photo in my favorites folder. It will be a challenge to pick a favorite in late September which is the time I go to Colorado to capture fall colors. There will be so many photos to pick from.<\/p>\n<p>Stayed tuned to see where this all leads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=20584\">Series: Favorite Photos by Date<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=20546#more-20546\">Best Photo: August 6 <\/a>&#8211; The article that started this series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It all started yesterday when I woke up wondering, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What is the best photo I have ever taken on August 6?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 So this morning I went looking for my best photo taken on August 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-photographs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20556"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20607,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20556\/revisions\/20607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
