Day 104/365 - you need to take care of your car, yes it's true...

Had to take my work car down to get checked out, the oil pan light was on, so I brought it into Jiffy Lube. It was empty so I didn't have to wait long at all, I just kind of lingered around snapping pictures of this and that, the mechanic didn't seem to mind or perhaps even notice.

Just a plain boring shot, not a lot of pictures today, the colors and clarity came out decent though...

...you want it done real fast, with follow through.....

Day 103/365 - Deep in the dark you'll surrender your heart but you know....

Cutting it close somedays to finding a shot , I do struggle when I'm not in many different situations for the day. Had to go to BJs tonight to do some testing on our equipment at the kiosk so I grabbed the camera with the intent to find something on the way home. Well I thought I'd try and capture some of the details of the craters on the moon. Not so much. I think I need to work on that, a darker spot perhaps away from street lights may help.

I think the clouds came out very neat in this shot. I do however notice purple fringing around the bright white overexposed moon in the shot. I think I'll read up on the right techniques for taking pictures of our moon. It's up there everynight and noone thinks twice about it, so it gets a little shot out. Yay Moon...

...but you know that you can't fight the moonlight .....

Day 102/365 - Red light yellow light green light go....

Not a lot of things going on yesterday but I thought giving you a glimpse of the new color I'm painting the kitchen would interest you. It's called lime green from Olympic paints. Supposedly it is a low VOC paint. For those of you not familiar with the term it stands for Volatile Organic Compounds and they are chemicals that are emitted from the paint we use for even years after it has dried.

Such a clean looking shot, the one switch is on because I needed more light in the room to keep the camera from needing to keep the shutter open any longer than necessary. No tripod here just me holding the camera steady as she goes. Love the color contrast.

Day 101/365 - Reproduction, reproduction!....

We planted this thing from a disc of compacted dirt and a bulb only a few weeks ago and it now towers over 2 feet tall in the little pot. I forget the name of the flower but it kind of looks like to trumpets side by side on the stem. This sits in the front window of the house and gets plenty of sunlight...

The shot and the others like it all came out very grainy for some reason, I'm not sure why, perhaps I used the zoom to close on the flower and it couldn't focus properly, Not sure. I do like the colors of the petals and the contrasting greens behind it...

...Make my stamen go berserk...

Day 100/365 - There's a party goin' on right here.....

Another month another time to get a self portrait in here. This time I had the idea today after I saw Brendon dressed in orange and brown that I would do the same and take the self portrait lying next to him on the floor. Well here it is, many to choose from and the stupid cat kept walking into the shots!

I chose this shot out of all the ones I took because of the expression on the baby's face! He loves the camera he is looking right at it. Perhaps because of the precarious why I arranged this shot with the tripod tilted over us supported by the weight of the cat's condo thing, anything to get my shots.....

... a celebration to last throughout the years....

....also celebrating 100 pictures so far!!!....

Day 99/365 - I wish I were and Oscar Mayer Weiner....

How could I resist taking a picture of this!! We had just finished lunch at Joe's in Braintree after meeting with the DJ for the wedding and we needed a place in the parking lot to feed Brendon so Michelle drove around. As we were coming around the building I saw this parked and I said we have to go back and take a picture of that!! So she fed Brendon and I snapped a few photos of the dog....

Cool shot of the entire weinermobile. I love the bright colors , they contrast very wall against the stark white background, although this thing looks strangely out of place no matter where it is parked.

..That is what I truly wish to be......

Day 98/365 - I walk a lonely road.....

A lousy rainy Friday. It rained all week. I'm wondering when we will have some springtime temperatures, so far a few scattered sunshine days but very few and far between. Here I am back in the monastery, I needed to grab the umbrella to keep the camera dry and lucky I did for as I walked it began to downpour. Here you see one of the many winding trails you can find in here.

A very misty looking forest lies down beyond. I like the shot for that reason, the serenity of the mist rolling in among the trees. Nothing special but my polarizing lense that a friend gave me recently. That and crouching down with my umbrella in tow.

...the only one that I have ever known....

Day 96/365 - Happy Birthday to you.... (AGAIN REPOST)

It is what it is, a birthday cake we had for Jenn when she was here yesterday. She didn't just turn 6 though, her daughter decorated the cake with the candles and decided 6 was enough apparently, how cute.

I love the way the shot came out, it wasn't planned that it would have such a dark background with the candle light, in fact the lights in the room were on, the camera just captured the light of the candles and that is it apparently. I do have a polarizing filter on now so perhaps that did it.

...Happy Birthday dear Jenn, Happy Birthday to you.....

n.b. you made it in here Jenn!!

Day 97/365 - Who let the dogs out.....

Ok I had other pictures today, but I took a look at this one and thought it was a bit cute. This is the dogs that started barking as I got back in my car in Millbury today. There were two of them in there waiting for their owner to come back out. Poor dogs stuck waiting in the car. At least it wasn't that hot out today! This one was trying to get a good sniff of me apparently.

The shot came out better than I thought after looking at the lcd version of the picture I didn't think it was that clear, but it's ok. Just a simple point and click no special setup here.....

....who, who, who, who, who....

Day 95/365 - The thigh bone connected to the....

Oops out of order posting!!

The first summer barbecue! Thought I'd throw some chicken on the grill the other night since it was finally a warm night and no rain, well it wasn't that warm but standin in front of the grill it felt that way at least. Nothing like some good ole chicken done up on the grill.

Ok, now don't put the camera on the grill Brian... Nah I didn't but I got close enough to it to get the closeup. A neat shot although looking at the closeup of the meat is kind of a bit gross, it tasted good all the same...

...knee bone....
