40/365: "Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity." ~ Herbert Hoover

Today was NOT what I expected!!! It got very cold last night and I was all revved up to take frost pictures. And so I did! Only, once I looked at them, I was unhappy with the one I finished. So I set it aside and went out again. I knew where I'd go! Down the road one property is a tiny stand of pampas grass, and I'd always wanted to take pictures of it. I tried several different angles and compositions, but in the end, this one was the one that stood out!

Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10, 1874 – October 20, 1964) was the 31st President of the United States (1929–1933). Hoover, born to Quaker parents of German, Swiss, Canadian, English, and Irish descent, was originally a professional mining engineer and author. He achieved American and international prominence in humanitarian relief efforts and served as head of the U.S. Food Administration before and during World War I. As the United States Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s under Presidents Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge, he promoted partnerships between government and business under the rubric "economic modernization". In the presidential election of 1928, Hoover easily won the Republican nomination, despite having no elected-office experience. Hoover is the most recent cabinet secretary to be elected President of the United States, as well as one of only two Presidents (along with William Howard Taft) elected without electoral experience or high military rank.
