Day 114/365 - All my bags are packed Im ready to go....

Only picture of today taken when we went to drop Denise off at the bus depot for her ride back to Boston for her flight back to Milwaukee... whew!! That was a mouthful. She came to visit Michelle for the week, they've been friends ever since they met each other at Ripon college when Michelle was starting out her educational endeavors...

...i'm leaving on a jet plane....

Pointed and Clicked.

Day 113/365 - A lady that I know came from Columbia..She smiled because I did not understand.....

Went to the YMCA field day at the last minute after CJ reminded us 30 minutes before the events began. He was doing a few of the relay races there and completely forgot about it until that morning. Well we saw him race and then were sitting down have a small bite to eat. Dean and Mary Ann are seen here walking back towards us, I don't know what they were laughing about but looks funny to me...

Nice distant shot with my telephoto lense at full 300mm or thereabouts!. The colors are great with the contrast of pink and black and the background colors as well. Nice day outside for some picture taking...

....Then she held out some marijuana, oh ho. She said it was the best in all the land....

(perhaps their laughing about the song now!)

Day 112/365 - I scream, you scream....

What do you think the girls wanted after a nice barbecue dinner Friday night..... The bowls are lined up as Michelle creates some delicious brownie sundays with plenty of toppings to choose from.

Another simple shot that I like, taken pretty close up yo can see the details of the foreground creation and the blurred mountain of deliciousness behind it...

..they all screamed for Ice Cream!!!....

Day 111/365 - I see your true colors.....

A little stop on the way back to Smithfield and I found this little hideway.... This area abounds a gold course and was just as peaceful as could be at the time. It seems that spring may finally be showing its true colors.

I love the shadows and the color in this shot. Camped out under the canopy of these trees and letting the sun shine on through creates a great shot , if not for the washed out sky in the background it would be perfect, perhaps the sky was that way....

...shining through....

Day 110/365 - Let me tell you how it will be; There's one for you, nineteen for me....

Well April 15th is tax day so here's something all you proud parents can look forward to if your baby was born the prior year!! Heh, a perfect picture for the day.. while we don't get that deduction this year for him, the bib was too perfect too pass it considering Michelle is a Tax Accountant....

Simple shot, no lighting or tripod , instead I used the cats tower to keep the camera steady.

...'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman....

Day 109/365 - Around the world, around the world.....

Thought I'd try and get some shots of the kids playing basketball in front of our house. Then I got the brilliant idea of having the 3 of them through the balls at the basket and try for something there, didn't work either. So the neighbor tried throwing all 3 of them up at once and I got this.

Although the balls are blurry in the shot I think it's a neat shot seeing them captured midair and the look on the neighbors face is priceless!!

...around the world around the world

Day 108/365 - Come to my window.....

Quiet days lately. I was hanging out in the backyard because it was finally a little bit nice outside and CJ was practicing with the juggle sticks. I snapped this picture of the broken garage door on the shed we have out there. Eventually this will be gone and will be an outdoor entertainment room or something to that effect....

...craw inside, wait by the light of the moon....

Day 107/365 - How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf).....

Casey! Such a great dog. She's in a little rough shape, not only did she already have bum hips, she hurt her front right wrist and is limping around all over. I felt bad for her. We saw Casey today at Michelle's Dad's house for Easter, all of us went to the Assabet Regional High School for Brunch that the students prepared, it was very good, great cooks over there!

Great closeup shot of the dog. I love the fact that I got it so close and you can see the individual hairs even and the mouth is open just a bit. Nice contrast of colors in his coat as well.

...The one with the waggley tail....

Day 106/365 - it's tiiiiiiime......

What in the world, either they are really large Coke cans or it's a really small shopping carriage ? Which do you think ? Perhaps I'll let you decide.

Neat contrast of colors, the shot has the right lighting, yet the cans are a little blurry due to the camera focusing more on the cart then what was inside it....

....to Stop and Shop!.....

Day 105/365 - Alone in the dark but now You've come along ....

After a day and a half of cleaning the basement of the water that poured out of our broken storage tank, I was looking around for something to photograph. I didn't even think at the time to take a picture of the water that filled my floor, nope, because I was in a rush to get it cleaned. I was standing outside the garage taking a breather and looked up and saw this though....

Neat closeup on a compact fluorescent lightbulb. I especially like the stark white of the glass contrasting against the rough rusted metal plate where a fixture once stood. I really need to fix this......

...You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on .....
