That's a little better. The problem is that my eye still goes to the sky, then I notice the house. I think that is because of the dark trees that flank the sky portion. The clouds in the sky are actually quite interesting. What about cropping it a bit to get rid of some of the sky, or keep...

3-12-13: Fortunately, the rain stopped by the time I got home from work. It was still another grey day, though. Below is my contribution to Project 365. This guy was hanging out on a branch of a tree in our front yard. He/she totally ignored me. This was not the same crow as yesterday...

3-11-13: Okay, after seeing photos of gators up close and personal, and nice bird shots, I am truly humbled. :) Anyway, after having a weekend of beautiful weather, we are back to the gloom and clouds of March in Upstate New York. The first shot is of a crow that was walking across my...

3-10-13: It was a nice enough day with the sun in and out behind the clouds all afternoon. I decided to take a walk around my neighbor's pond. My feet are still damp from this afternoon's slog, but it was fun. It also gave me a chance to talk with my neighbor. We discussed the...

3-9-13: Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Blue sky, sunshine, no clouds. We have not had a day like this in quite a while. I went out at about 11 to take advantage of the weather. Later, when I took my walk, I took my camera and the dog with me. Definitely worth it. We all know that...

2-8-13: Although the sun did come out after I got home from work, I was too beat to want to go out and take any photos. It has been an insane place the last two days. Anyway, I did get a bird photo today. All in a Row, Almost I have had these little hand made glass ducks for a long time...

3-7-13: It has been a rather damp, dreary day today, but I did manage to get outside for a few minutes after I came home from work. I walked around the house, hoping to see any indication of spring. I really didn't find much, but this is it. I took this in my backyard. The sky was rather...

3-6-13: I started these guys from seed about a year ago. There are actually five of them, but I thought the top view was rather interesting. Ouch!

3-5-13: My poor, sad looking hyacinth now stands up proudly I moved it, gave it something to lean on for a few days, and wow, it's an almost upstanding plant citizen. And it smells wonderful, too! :)

3-4-13: Okay, today was not a very creative day, but I did start going back to the gym for some long needed exercise. I did have my camera with me so once I parked my car, I took a photo of the sign. Weird, I know. I did take it through the windshield because it was windy, cold and damp...

3-3-13: I have spent most of this weekend trying to organize my digital photo files. A task that I thought would take a few hours took most of the weekend. Images from early 2010 and all of 2012 & 2013 were well organized. The remainder of 2010 and all of 2011 were a hodgepodge. They were...

3-2-13: Okay, this is what happens when you forget about a plant.... Yes, it started to hit the underside of the shelf above it. Poor, poor, sad plant. :( Now, my second photo is not a deformed organism. It is Buster, the cat we rescued about a month ago. He has settled right in and has...

3-1-13: My spousal unit has been making me a replacement flyer for my spinning wheel. The original one split and broke because it was made of laminated wood. :( Anyway, yesterday, Spousal Unit brought in the rough form of the flyer attached to a power drill. He turned the drill on to show...

2-28-13: The first photo is of a scarf that I knitted for the teacher aide in my classroom as a good-bye present. She is transferring to a different department and tomorrow is her last day. The Scarf Okay, instead of the opportunistic feline photos, here is an opportunistic canine capture...

2-27-13: Cabin fever tends to make one scrounge around the house after work to get a photo of something. Spring. Please hurry up. I am running out of objects and pets to photograph! I was looking at my curio shelf and found this little miniature Chinese vase with mini silk flowers in it...

2-26-13: Not one of my more creative days. Just that same old cactus, but a different tendril. I find the air roots it produces quite interesting.

Just curious.... Has anyone signed up for this yet? I signed up today but haven't put anything on it yet.

2-24-13 part 2: Spring has not started yet, and I do not expect it will for a while, so pretty, green and other colored stuff is still at least a month away. So, I went on a short photo excursion looking for interesting texture. Frozen and partially frozen creeks are great for that. This...

2-24-13 - Part 1: This is for Pat. I thank him for noticing yesterday's photo post that had the focus in the wrong place. That's what happens when you don't check the image thoroughly first. :) Anyway, it made me think about what else I do with the the concept. So here it is... First, I...
