Our Daily Challenge &#8212; Friend.<\/p>\n<p>I stayed late at the office today just trying to catch up a little.  Did I mention that we moved into this lovely new building just as school was starting?  The building is wonderful, but the move itself meant that I wasn&#8217;t quite organized for school to start, and I&#8217;ve been putting in a lot of time there trying to get to the point of feeling organized.  Since I&#8217;ve never been an organized person a day in my life, this is causing me to have a few uncalm moments here and there.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day today, I walked outside to clear my head.  I wondered how I was going to do the photo prompt of &#8220;friend.&#8221;  I took some pictures of ducks.  I took some pictures of the football team practicing.  I took some pictures of a black dog who did not want his picture made.  <\/p>\n<p>The ducks did a fine job of modeling, but I wasn&#8217;t quite sure they were my friends.  I was still wondering if I&#8217;d snap the winner today when I looked up as I approached my building to see my boss waving at me (or someone near me in the parking lot) from the top floor balcony.  <\/p>\n<p>Jesse Smith, you are my friend of the day.  You beat out a duck, a football team, and your own dog for the job.  I hope you feel the love.  <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my runner up for friend of the day.  The one on the left was totally bonding with me.  That, or it wanted to kill me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/6095311782\/\" title=\"Duck, Duck, Duck by Sharon Gerald, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6188\/6095311782_68dc42e1bf.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Duck, Duck, Duck\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>242 of 365.
