Day 236

Sweet child o' mine

Can't believe she is almost a

year old. Only a few more

days. I took this image as she was

looking out of the window with

the cats. She stopped for a split second and looked

over at me.

That is when I snapped this picture.

Day 235

Sweet Ride

I took this picture after I just

finished yet another great ride.

I feel a trip to Peninsula

for some biking & pints is in the near future.

Day 234

The Galley Boy

Ahhh...the joy of having Swenson's for dinner.

Always a good time.

Day 233

The movement

I capture this image while moving

with my camera at a slow shutter speed.

The result in an abstraction of a familiar object.

Day 232

Two Teef

Lila is getting her first two teeth.

She is growing up so fast.

Day 231

White Drink

I thought it would be a good idea to

try this drink today while on my lunch.

As it turns out, white gourd drink is not for me.

The only way I can think to describe the taste is

it was like water with an after taste like caramel corn.

Day 230

From the garden

So we got a late start on our garden,

but it has grown like crazy with

the humidity we have had lately.

Day 229

Bath Time

I took this image of Lila as she was taking a bath,

right before she splashed water on me.

Always so happy and laughing.

Ode to Jeromesville

I was tired the other night,

so I failed to show my photo journalistic

approach to the way I looked at this small town.

I had been here only once before, and I

was intrigued upon my first glance.

I stumbled across town shooting everything

that instantly became of interest to me.

I felt a sweet little piece of Americana

surrounding me in this town.

I was invited into Delagrange Antiques even

though they were closed at the time.

I browsed around the shop and found a receipt

book that was dated from the late 1800's.

They also had a lot of other great finds

highly recommended for the avid antique

collector.

Day 228

In the pen

I captured this great picture of Lila as she was

looking like she was up to something.

Day 227

Abstract Sign

I spotted this sign on the side of the road as

I was passing through town and thought

it was of interest.

Day 226

Road trip to Jeromesville

So I spent a good portion of the morning

at a freelance gig in Jeromesville.

Very small town, but the people were very nice.

Day 225

Leaves

I took this image while wondering

around my yard.

I like the sharp detail you can see in

the body of the leaf.

Day 224

My way or the Sky Way

I have been a fan of

vintage neon signs for quite some time.

I always thought this sign was interesting, so

I decided to take this picture just as the sun was setting.

Day 223

Abandoned Barn

I have passed this place on numerous occasions

but never stopped to take a photograph.

Makes me wonder what this was used for back in the

day.

Day 222

at the intersection

I sit & wait wondering

where I'm going and how far I've been.

Will I make it there on time...?

do I give a kiss goodbye?

I will just keep it in drive.

Day 221

Tiny little wonder

I took this cute picture of Lila as she was pulling herself

up on the bed. I can't believe she is

almost a year old...that's crazy.

Day 220

Sweet Treat

I found this sweet magic mushroom from Mario Bros filled

with candy today at World Market.

My daughter seemed to love it

and continued to shake it throughout the store,

so I had to buy it.

Day 219

Reflections

I shot this photograph of my father

after we went to the Artfest in Grace Park.

It was a great time accompanied by the sounds of the

Speedbumps.

Day 218

Roots

I was interested at first glance of these roots in the ground.

I wonder where they have been.

Day 217

Abstract Motion

Another study of motion

with a slow shutter speed.

Day 216

Flowers in the backyard

I wanted to take a better close up,

but the lighting condition was very dark.

I decided to exploit this instead.

Day 215

Bike Route

I spotted this sign today while driving around

this afternoon. This route apparently goes

through a residential neighborhood.

I think I need to try it out sometime.

Day 214

Mac & Cheese

I had some of the best tasting

homemade mac & cheese tonite.

Yum.......I had to get a close up.

Day 213

11 Months & counting

I took some photos of Lila

today and suddenly it struck me,

how fast she is growing up.

I love spending as much time

with her as possible.

She is the best thing that

has ever happened to me.

Day 212

Colorful

I took a few close up pics while

checking out the new yarn set in Bath.

Everything looks great.

I met some great people while

I was there.

Day 211

On our way

to Twilight @ the Zoo I stopped for gas

in Old Brooklyn.

I composed this image while waiting for

my fill up.

Day 210

Dramatic theme

I experimented with different techniques

in order to get this composition quite right.

I must say I am pleased with the result.

Day 209

Cracks in the pavement

I composed this image of something that

I see everyday, but have yet to explore.

Day 208

Abstract Leaves

I took this photo close up

of a plant that I have inside my house.

This was taken in low lighting

and has a painterly quality

about it.

Day 207

From the ground

I noticed these flowers growing

from the ground. This may even be

a weed. Not quite sure, but it caught my

eye for some reason.

Day 206

Spiritual Bliss

I was looking up at the trees

when all of the sudden the

sun peeked through the leaves.

It is such a unique experience

when this happens.

A spiritual experience.
