I see a dolphin and a seahorse. Go…

Tree bombs?

Is it just me, or does it look like it’s about to explode?

When bored, amuse self.

I get bored pretty easily that’s why I have so many gadgets. They keep me entertained and out of trouble. My camera phone has been doing the trick lately.

Boom, bang, pow.

We got out of the house the Saturday and went to brother in-laws for a cookout. Lots and lots of food was consumed. I way over ate and will be paying for it for years to come. We hung out for several hours so we could walk to the park and watch the fireworks. I love fireworks, I especially love photographing fireworks. This year I went under prepared. All I brought was my little point and shoot. While it may not be the greatest camera in the world, it served it’s purpose. Like they say, “the best camera is the one you have with you.”

Because it is a point and shoot, I didn’t have near the control I am used to. This led to some interesting effects, or as I call them, happy accidents. Such as this shot which sort of looks like a galaxy. I was shooting handheld which caused squiggles and the glowing white orb bottom right is a street light. When you get to the party late you get stuck with an obstructed view.

Yet another one resembling a galaxy, the squiggles are more pronounced in this one.

This one just looked cool!

Last but not least the colors in this one were nice.

I would have loved to show you a shot of the finale but it was several bursts ran together so the photo is just a burnt out mess.

See ya later!

Ahhh Spring, when a young mans fancy turns to…

Getting the heck out of the house!

In our subdivision, like many, we have a covenant with the HOA. One of the rules is that we must have three trees on our property. The trees we bought were twigs. I can’t remember what any of them are now, only that I have to mow around the darn things when I do my yard work. One of them is a flowering tree that gets pink blooms. This one is now in it’s 4th year with us. This year it finally had flowers on it. Granted there were only a few in one spot, but at least it’s a start!

March Sadness

Jeff A — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:48:15 +0000

It’s that time of year again. The time when a young mans fancy turns to basketball. Even those who normally don’t enjoy sports feel the need to get in the action. Office bracket pools pop up all over the place.

Still, there are those who just don’t care. Maybe they are not that into sports or maybe they are abandoned by their spouse during playoffs. My family falls into the not that into it category. Even when I was working, when the office bracket picks went around, I didn’t feel compelled to join in.

Maybe that’s why this basketball caught my eye. Alone sitting in the grass and covered with mud. It was indeed “March Sadness”

Is this unusual?

Do all cats cover their eyes to sleep? Or do I have a weird cat?(I vote weird)

Random Objects or WTH

Every once in awhile you see something out of place. An object so random that you just have to say “what the heck”. This is one of those things:
