Day 120, End of April

 

Last day of April! Tomorrow we will see if all those April showers were worth it...

I love the feel of this photo.

Day 119, Buried Treasure

Well, not entirely buried treasure. I came across this little treasure in a wallet I haven't used in a while. What to do, what to do? Should I invest this little chunk of change? Stick it away for a rainy day? We'll see...

Update: I settled on a Heath Blizzard from Dairy Queen. And it was oh so good. :-)

Day 118, Maple Leaves

 

 Please insert a witty comment here. 

I don't know what it is about today but I simply cannot function. Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be better...

Day 117, More Rain Clouds

 

It feels like there is a Charlie Brown style rain cloud lingering over our heads.  Good grief...

Day 116, Hugs and Kisses Anniversary

 

Today Jeremy and I have been married for nine years!!  That's the hugs and kisses anniversary. Well, it is for us anyways. We make our own rules. :)

 

Pretty!

Day 115, It's Raining, It's Pouring

 

My backyard after a few days of rain. Unfortunately we still have a few more days of rain coming. I have always wanted a swimming pool...

Day 114, Shuffling Cards

Over since the demise of my handy-dandy Olympus camera I have not had a sturdy pocket sized camera. My 3mp LG env3 camera phone isn't horrible in a pinch.

 Since it is just a cell phone photo I'll post two. (This is becoming a habit.)

Day 113, Birds

 Finally, it has stopped raining and I am able to explore the great outdoors, well, at least my backyard.  This bird/photo reminds me a lot of the photo I took for Day 15. I wonder if they are related...

And other one because I can. This is Sammy. And yes. He is as evil as he looks.

Day 112, Dark, Dreary Day

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.”    Robert Frost

Today was dark, dreary and cold. I snapped this picture in a hurry because I've still have much to do before I sleep.

Day 111, Coffee Beans

I learned quite a bit with this project. First, drink some coffee before you play with the coffee beans. Second, if you spend a bit of time arranging the coffee beans don't try to blow the dust away. Coffee beans are not that heavy. Third, don't make the same mistake twice by blowing the dust away after arranging the coffee beans a second time. Which really brings us back to the first thing I learned: Drink some coffee before you play with the coffee beans.

Day 110, Ring

I'm back!

Here's what happened: I took the mirror off the wall. Positioned my light stick (?! not sure of the correct name. I think it is supposed to be an under the cabinet light that I have re-purposed) to the side of my ring and gave it a whirl, then Windexed the mirror. I repeated those steps about 17 million times. The above photo I took while resting my twirling hand using the window for back lighting. Afterward, I put the mirror back on the wall about 98% sure my husband won't notice the new scratches. :/

 

After all that work I had to include a photo of my intended subject.
