Day 173/365 - Lines, lines, everywhere there's lines...

I was trying to take a night shot picture of the solar lights we have on the walkway because the neat light cast on the sidewalk would have made for an interesting picture, yet I couldn't get it quite the way it should have looked. I opted for playing with the camera and moving it as the shutter stayed open for 7 seconds in this case. Some neat effects were created.

Do this, don't do that can't you see the lines....

(remember that Tesla song ? Signs)

Day 172/365- Going to the chapel And we're gonna get married....

Here's the spot where we are going to be married in October, I stopped by here on the way back from CT since I drive right by the area I thought , let's see it in the springtime. Such a nice place , very serene and beautiful...

Great contrast of colors with the white and greens and the bright cloudy blue sky...

....Gee I really love you
And we're gonna get married
Going to the chapel of love....

Day 171/365 - I was gonna clean my room until I got high.....

Some funky mushroom is growing in my front yard, it looks like it could be some psychedelic mushroom that some people get their kicks off of, who knows. All I know is I wasn't touching it but it made for a cool shot for the day.....

Nice macro shot lying down in the grass, cept for the grass stains on my pants now....

...I was gonna get up and find the broom....

Day 170/365 - Ooh baby I love your way every day....

Brendon makes another appearance, I love this shot, trying to get him to enjoy being on his belly, he'd rather sit up, or stand up , at 4 months!! He's got such strong legs already. He's lookin' at his dada here, ooooh....

Closeup shots on the baby are tough without the flash or just the right light, I think I got it just right here...

...wanna tell you I love your way everyday....

Day 169/365 - Shake it, shake it like a Polaroid Picture....

Here's a shot of an old Polaroid camera. These things were great in their day and people are still using them even today, albeit the film for these are getting harder and harder to find. I picked up a few on Ebay , just waiting for them to arrive. I'm not even sure if this thing still works, but it's in pristine condition.

....Shh you got to, shake it, shh shake it, shake it, got to shake it.....

I love the shot , it's such a still life shot and the colors while a bit yellowy, orangey, due to the wall color and table actually make it look like and older picture.....

Day 168/365 - I started singin' ,bye-bye, miss american pie.

Here is a bit of leftover apple pie that we had the other night when Jenn was visiting. It tasted mighty fine for a store bought pie.

I opted to almost stick my camera in the pie plate to get a closeup of this leftover tastiness. Neat macro shot , unusual angle on a piece of pie I thought...

...a long, long, time ago...

Day 167/365 - Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Someone's in the kitchen I know......

I really had only a few pictures this day as well and I thought I'd try something by placing the camera on the floor coming from the great room. You can see the stove and a bit of the counters in the kitchen here and the dirt and a bit of junk lying around.

I used the floor to let the camera stay still and keep the shutter open as long as it needed to get the shot. I like the way the lighting came out in the shot...

...someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, strummin' on the old banjo....

Day 166/365 - It's a jungle out there Disorder and confusion everywhere....

Well another shot around the monastery in Cumberland. This is the side of the old monastery where some monks used to worship. It burned down many years ago and is now the Cumberland Library. I love the architecture on this building.....

Great shot of the lone window against the stone...

...No one seems to care
Well I do...

(MONK theme song)

Day 165/365 - Well, well, well you never can tell .....

Didn't get out for any pictures this day and I have been including more people in my daily pictures so I wanted one of Michelle. Here she is sitting on the couch with the glow of the TV reflecting off her face. Such a pretty smile...

Nice shot, a closeup, if I could just mask out that dark wall in the background with something more neutral...

...well, well, well, my Michelle.....

Day 164/365 - Where have all the flowers gone?...

Nothing today, really no ideas for any shots, but I thought I always take shots of lively, bright colored flowers, why not one on its way out ? Well here is one , while rather ugly is also rather interesting too me.. Nature creates beauties and takes them away just as well...

Simple, basic, macro shot. good detail on the leaves and the wilted flower.

...Girls have picked them every one....
