11-14-13: I have been having a battle with Jenny. She thinks the recliner is hers. She will try to ignore me, act like she is sleeping, or even stare right back at me when I tell her to get off the recliner. She will eventually comply, but try to make me feel guilty with the "poor, poor...

11-13-13: Not the most exciting photo but it is from Spousal Unit's tractor collection: :) Utility Tractor? As you can guess, it was a very long, strange day at work. Teaching science to adolescents is always interesting. :)

11-12-13: I looked out the window this morning and noticed that it had snowed. When a went out later to go to work, I took this photo of the backyard. About 2 inches of snow had fallen. I took this at about 6:45 this morning while it was not fully light out yet. First Snow When I came...

11-11-13: Just played around with available light, ISO 1600, and my 85mm f/1.8 AF Nikkor lens. I don't think I use this lens as much as I should, but when I do, I really like it. I have a hard time using an ISO above 400 because the noise gets to me. I guess I like my photos to be quiet. :)...

11-10-13: As soon as I put my lens capon the table, the girls decided to decide whose lens cap it was going to become. Alex (on the right) usually wins, but Creature (on the left) really gave it a good try. :) I don't know about other people's cats, but mine truly believe that possession is...

11-9-13 I drive by this pond at least once a week. Sometimes there is nothing going on there. Other times, it is overrun with geese. Today was one of those days. The Gaggle Flotilla Tree Island

11-8-13: Being true to my word, I did convert those very ripe bananas from yesterday into some very tasty banana bread. Yes, we already had some. It is very, very good and won't last long, that's for sure. :) Yesterday's Bananas Are Today's Banana Bread

11-7-13: I was looking at these 3 bananas, thinking, "Yum, tomorrow, banana bread." I guess Alex had similar thoughts. :) Yup. Next Stop: Banana Bread

11-6-13: Alex is a thief. She tries to take all sorts of things that intrigue her. My cell phone is one of her favorite objects to try to take. Lens caps are another favorite. At least those aren't too heavy. Klepto Kitty

11-5-13: I really don't have much to say about this photo other than the apple was very tasty. :) Getting to the Core of the Matter

11-4-13: WARNING!!!! Opportunistic feline photos ahead! (Is that something like zombie warnings? :) ) A friend of mine refers to Creature at a long-haired snotty cat. Although she is a dog person, I concur with that description: Really? You Must Be Kidding! Actually, Creature is a...

11-3-13: I was out driving a little while ago and noticed some stuff falling out of the sky. Yes, it's the first snow spittles of the season! First Snow Spittles of the Season

11-2-13: I was going through a bookcase this afternoon and came across this pincushion full of vintage hatpins. There are some oldies but goodies. :)

11-1-13: After looking at the photo I posted (post #1018), I thought I would tweak it a little in Aftershot Pro and use selective color. Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home

11-1-13: I saw this ladybug crawling around on the living room window a little while ago. Actually, we have a couple of them in the house right now. They have been on the windows or flying around the light over the dining room table. One of our cats is always looking at the ceiling, thinking...

10-31-13: Rain and a long, dark driveway have kept all the trick or treaters from coming to our door. Oh, well. Okay, now to today's photo. I have had this little, handmade house for many years and decided that it would be a perfect object to photograph on Hallowe'en. The Bakehouse

I have the 105 micro-Nikkor AF lens that came out with the F4,way back when. Great lens. I think it's a little heavier than the later ones, but the photos are spot on.

10-30-13: Sometimes my mind sees things in odd ways... I looked out the kitchen window this evening and noticed this last vestige of warm weather rather stuck on the window. The underside of a moth is rather weird looking, that's for sure. :) The Underbelly of the Beast This potato...

10-29-13: Part 2: When I got home, I noticed that we had some new visitors to the bird feeder: downy woodpeckers! I did see two of them at once. They were more interested in the bugs and grubs under the tree bark than the sunflower seeds in the feeder. It seems like we are getting quite a...

10-29-13: Part 1: I took advantage of a really beautiful late fall day today. While I was traversing around, I came across a few interesting (at least I thought so :) ) photos. The first thing I noticed was this tractor junkyard. It was huge. I never saw so many derelict tractors in one...
