Day 153/365 - Take me out to the ballgame....

Ahhh, what better in the summertime than some good ol' baseball, the summertime classic.... I picked up a new glove last week so I can play catch with CJ as I couldn't find my old one and it was a bit too small for me anyways. Me, the lefty, never get to borrow a glove off someone since most of you out there are righties.. I like being the southpaw...

A nice closeup macro shot of the ball and glove. I used my tripod to get a nice clear shot with the lighting from the living room.

..take me out to the crowd....

Day 152/365 - I DIG, ROCK and Roll music

Some rocks on the beach, I love the look of these 3 rocks here, the colors and the designs on the rock look great. They remind me of tiger. I kept one for safe keeping. These are down in Old Saybrook just sitting there by themselves, well the top left was further on down the way , I had him join the group...

Ok shot from today, I had others, some sand textures, barnacled piers, etc. This is one that you wouldn't expect from all of those beach scenes...

...I could really get it on in that scene.....

Day 151/365 - Things are going great, and they're only getting better I'm doing all right, getting good grades.....

It's a mini Bono! HA, don't I wish. Brendon trying on his new sunglasses for the first time, so cute!!! I will be posting this on Facebook later too of course. Mommy holds him and he looks at his Daddy taking one of his thousands of pictures, he's used to them by now...

Great shot of the little one. I love the bright contrasting colors of his shoes, and Michelle's shirt against the blue and the bright background...

...The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades....

Day 150/365 - Come on baby let's do the twist .....

So the 3x3 Rubik's Cube isn't hard enough they came out with a 4X4. Well apparently the 3x3 is quite easy and people can solve it in under 12 seconds , the record holder's that is. Michelle's cousin Katie can do it in a few minutes, me nah, I can partially do it. Oh well, too much twisting and turning and I forgot which way I was supposed to turn next..

.....We're gonna twisty twisty twisty ....

Day 149/365 - I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride.....

Ok, quiet, no pics to take , I got a few of the baby, but saving those for another day, so I was watching the marathon of Deadliest Catch the past few days and snagged this pic from the screen. The show is somehow so tantalizing and intriguing and keeps sucking us in.... Those crab look tasty now..

I pointed at the TV and snapped a few shots, opted for this one...

....I'm wanted dead or alive. Wanted dead or alive.....

Day 148/365 - Good day sunshine Good day sunshine Good day sunshine.....

Well, we did a bit of yard work last weekend and cleaned up a lot of the falls leaves finally, as well as removed some rhododendrons from in front of the house as well as a huge pile of branches. I dug a few holes (with much trouble, damn boulder) and planted this Hydrangea and one other.

Nice closeup of the flowers on the peppermint Hyrdrangea, you can see the water droplets on the dark green leaves as well. Nice clean, simple shot..

...Then we lie beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she know she's looking fine I'm so proud to know that she is mine ...

Day 147/365 - All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiousity ....

I was curious as to what is at the end of the road from the BJs so I drove down there, a windy road lined with hay bales and it led to this. I large open area with pile and piles of dirt and rock. I guess they are excavating or process rock back there not quite sure, there were plenty of big machines to do the dirty work.

Cool shot because there is no frame of reference for size. The rocks sliding down the hill ahead could be car sized boulders for all the viewer knows, perhaps they are.....

..All we do, crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see, dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind...

Day 146/365 - In the jungle the mighty jungle.....

Our cat Leo's fur was very matted for the past few months, we tried our best to try and comb out the fur but it just wouldn't work, so off to the groomer I took him. He was quiet calm for most of his visit there and the groomers took too him quiet well, and now we have our own little lion....

He is a tough one to photograph standing still, so I had to use the flash to capture a still shot on any quick movements he might try and make...

...the lion sleeps tonight....

Day 145/365 - Here I am The one that you love Askin for another day.....

Ok another month, another self portrait, this time with the remote shutter. I just stood here against the tree in the yard and played with the lighting and tried to look cool, hope I had some success with it.

I like the shot, I got to use my remote shutter . Where is the remote you may ask ? Neatly tucked under my arms, hence the folded arms!!! Sneaky, eh ?

....Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways...

For Michelle !

Day 144/365 - I wanna lay you down in a bed of ......

A great little garden/nursery store off the side of Route 20 in Oxford. I pulled over just to check out what they had as we have been doing some gardening around the house. This place does a great job of keeping all of their flowers well watered and healthy. It's called the Farmer's Daughter, kind of a funny name for the place but nonetheless it's a very nice place..

Closeup of the daisies, I couldn't decide what pick to use and I like the look of this one so here it is...

....daisies.....

sorry Bon Jovi... :)
