Day One Hundred Forty Three I'm going green today. The world would be proud of me.

Day One Hundred Forty Two As I was walking out of the house at 5:15 this AM, I looked over the railing and in spite of all the overnight torrential rain, one pink rose managed to bloom. I had to use the flash, which washes the flower out a little. If I'd had more time I would have tried...

Day One Hundred Forty One Interesting turn of events. My two older grand daughters (7 & 5) were here Saturday Night. They started building a "Marble Machine" on the wall using construction paper, cardboard tubes. paper plates and cups. A lot of tape and thumb tacks. By the time they were...

Day One Hundred Forty Went to the final week of soccer for my granddaughters. Discovered (after the fact) that I had the camera set in Aperture Priority instead of Shutter. I had to settle for this shot of a "Partly Cloudy" day in Virginia. I won't make that mistake with tomorrow's plans.

Day One Hundred Thirty Nine Not much in the way of opportunities today. While waiting to pick up my wife, I felt the car start shaking. It was turned off so that could mean only one thing. This area is still city so the engines have to move slowly. Quarter mile down they can speed up and...

Day One Hundred Thirty Eight Had to turn a few screws this afternoon. That gave me this idea. I never realized how crappy Craftsman is marking their screwdriver handles now. They used to be one of the highest quality tools you could purchase. They still say made in the USA, but now I'm...

Day One Hundred Thirty Seven Lord have mercy. When you can't just go out and wander, it gets extreemly difficult to find something to photograph. Shylo and Dakota won't stay still long enough to photograph. Charlie almost never moves. I tried taking his picture without the flash. I shot...

Day One Hundred Thirty Six Another day shot. I had the camera all day but was just too busy. After work I had to get my hair cut so I drove over to see Debbie. When I parked and got out of the car this is what I saw... She didn't expect me to take her picture. I know it's a bad photo, but...

Day One Hundred Thirty Five I decided to call this shot "Rock Near Work". That's because it's a rock and it's near where I work..

Re: Challenge for the week of May 13 - May 20, 2012 I'll get the ball rolling. Something old is my dad (92). Something new my grandson (20mo). Didn't know what the subject was until I got home. This is an extreem crop from a family photo of 22 people. Anyway I wanted to get it on first...

Day One Hundred Thirty Four Was down in Richmond today (90 min Drive) The whole Fam Damily met for a champagne brunch. Really good food, and lots of it. We were fortunate because all four generations were there at the same time. Ages ranged from 92 (dad) to 19 months (my grandson). We got...

Day One Hundred Thirty Three I was over looking at my neighbors garden, and these followed me home. Shhh!! Don't tell him. Truth be known, he was there and my wife walked over and helped him pick them. Radishes and Onions are now in short supply now (unless he plants more).

Day One Hundred Thirty Two Lots of shopping after work today. Have a Mothers Day/Family Reunion on Sunday. I discovered I have nothing that fits anymore. I quit smoking about 3 years ago and needed to go out and buy some "Husky" size pants. (LOL). No time left for photos. Anyway. Nuff...

Day One Hundred Thirty One I'm pretty sure this is called lichen. It was growing on an old tree stump.

Day One Hundred Thirty OK, here is yesterday's picture. It was a hectic afternoon back at the Vet for a whole new round of chemo. He had this wire sculpture tucked back out of the way. I think it should be called "Hungry Cat"

Day One Hundred Twenty Nine Couldn't decide which one to use today. The purple Irises started blooming this week so I had to get a shot of them. On my way to them I saw the mushrooms and took a few shots of those. I decided to post both of them.

Day One Hundred Twenty Eight I'm thinking about having our payroll department just direct deposit my checks here instead of the bank.

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven I was out running errands this afternoon, when I realized I was only 7 miles from the mountain top. It's been overcast all day so I didn't expect much but I did drive up there. Since I'm old, I get into the park for free. Other side of the mountain turned out to...

Day One Hundred Twenty Six Wife went to some yard sales today. She found this Minolta XG1 with a 50mm 1.4 and a 70-200mm 4.5 (for nearly nothing). All I can say about it right now is that the batteries are dead so I'll have to buy those and I'll have to find somewhere to get film to try it...

Day One Hundred Twenty Five Today is May the Fourth. So for any of you out there who are possibly Star Wars Fans, May The Fourth Be With You. Now for today's photo. Once a month an engineer brings in Doughnuts for everyone to enjoy. These are Spudnuts They are made with Potato flour. Yum!
