Day 38

ever try to photograph a busy-little-toddler??

well...here's what happened when I asked him to show me his feet (sigh).

Day 37

Room with a view

The view out of my window at work. I LOVE this old tree even though it has more mistletoe on it then leaves and that I worry with each rainstorm and windy day that it will finally topple over.

Day 36

Cellphone fun...

We were out and about today. Target, Applebees, CompUSA, ColdStone

and all I had to capture the moments was my low-quality cell-phone camera.

waiting for Daddy to come home...

that's what I'M talking about!! ;)

Day 32

Flowering Jade...

gloomy, rainy day...

Day 31

Poor ol' Jack Ball....he's blind, mute and half deaf. Time to replace him I guess.

Pretty lil' flower I found by the office..

Day 30

I tried to get this baby in focus but it looks to me like the focus fell on the leaf to the right...not on the bud. That's what I get trying to take the pic between wooden blinds.

As far as the background looking SO yellow...our walls are this "terracotta" color. eeck. It really shows up doesn't it? Which is why I did a B&W version.

yummmmmmm.........

We have a candy guessing game going on right now. How many chocolates are in the jar?? Who cares...when can we get the chocolates OUT? ;)

We've had to tape the lid shut because the Dads (yes JUST Dads) were getting into the jar and eating the chocolates. Oh boy.

Day 29

I so dig this palm tree.

One of these days I'll get photos of something OFF of my property. But since my entire family has, had, or is coming down with the flu...not gonna happen anytime soon.

Day 28 (4 weeks...)

A plate I made back in ...oh '98. Time for an update I think. ;)

Day 26

my poor ol' rose bush

This is my only "full size" rose bush. It was given to me by my Dad many, many years ago. It's blooms smell gorgeous and are HUGE. You just can't kill this thing. It hasn't been watered since the 90's yet it grows and grows. I like the contrast of the "blooms" against the folliage in hibernation.
