1-22-13: Today, it was way too cold to be outside for too long, so I decided to photograph a basket of yarn. Well, so much for the yarn, it's another CAT ALERT! Oooooo... Yarn....

1-21-13; Okay, I am going to try again to upload today's photo. I had a lot of problems earlier because the Web site was so slow, my browser would time out. My husband has loved John Deere tractors since he was a little boy growing up in rural PA. I tease him and tell him he married me for...

1-20-13: With super-gusty winds outside and a wind advisory, also, I decided to see what I had inside to photograph. I came upon this hand-carved, wooden zebra that someone gave me a number of years ago and thought it would make an appropriate subject. At least it's not another cat photo. :)...

1-15-13: Okay, it's one of those days again.... Opportunistic cat photo (or part, thereof). A dreary day in the Northeast U.S. and having a cold, to boot, made me very unimaginative. I do love Alex for her patience and tolerance as I photographed one of her paws... The Cat's Paw: Info...

1-14-13: No opportunistic cat photos... :) I have an arrangement of silk flowers in my living room, so I thought it may make a nice subject. I have two versions of the photo. One is just the yellow flowers (observe traces of cat fur that I did not notice when I took the photo) and the other...

1-13-13: WARNING! Opportunistic cat photo. :) Dreamy-eyed This was the look 4 years ago that suckered my spousal unit just before we adopted her through the Broome County Humane Society.

1-12-13: Just to be on the safe side, I did take the opportunistic cat photo. Creature was doing what Creature does best, being a long-haired snotty cat as one of my friends calls her. Long-Haired Snotty Cat Since we are in the middle of a January thaw (AKA January Mud Season), I then...

1-11-13: Mouse Balls: Info: Lens: AF 105 f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor ISO 200f/7.1 1/60 Built-in flash Manual focus

1-10-13: A friend of mine made this for me as a Christmas present. If you think that plant looks familiar, it is. Yup, I perched this little ballerina mouse on that 30+ year-old succulent :) Tiny Dancer: Info: Lens: AF 105 f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor ISO 200 f/8 1/60 Built-in flash Manual focus

1-9-13: The 30+ year-old succulent that keeps on giving... photographically, that is. :) Bud End: Info: Lens: AF 105 f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor ISO 200 f/7.1 1/60 Built-in flash Manual focus - I never use autofocus when taking close-up shots so it does not bother me that the D3000 cannot autofocus...

1-8-13. Okay, here is today's entry. Not a great shot, in fact, far from it. It was about dusk when I had just come home from work. I saw the deer on our front lawn, ran and got my camera. I stood on the porch, and the deer was about 220 feet from where I was standing. It was actually...

1-7-13: Today's photos: First, the watch cap is finished. Made for the son of a friend of mine. He has been very helpful when my husband had some major health issues last year. Not exciting, but it is a photo taken today. :) Now for the fun photo. Alex, my photo ham cat is also a thief...

1-6-13. Here are today's photos: This one I took this morning. The sun was coming in through the bay window. I like how the shadow of the "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" (sent to us by my spousal unit's cousin) showed on the wall. Done with available light. Sunshine and Shadow: I also...

Okay, here are my photos for today, January 5th. These icicles were taken from inside the house (the same window as the crazy, crawling succulent from yesterday). I have been looking at these icicles for almost a week now... Cold as Ice: Since the dreary clouds actually dissipated slightly...

Okay, here are the photos for today, January 4th.... Jenny was watching my spousal unit eat his dinner. She considers him an eternal food source figures that she an stare the food away from him. Jenny Spooky will sit next to me and paw the air as a way to get my attention. All he wants is...

Here is today's photo, not as photogenic as yesterday, but the long, hanging succulent has been around for over 3 decades. My mother started it from seed back in the 1980s. It has survived multiple moves, maulings by cats, and some pretty bad watering neglect by me. Plant Crawler
