Day 229/365 - osie and the Pussycats Long tails and and ears for hats .....

Well here's a big ol' bunch of cuddly furry love looking up at the camera. Leo loves to roll around on the floor and lie there with his paws up in the air. He asked where is his next shot in the big ol' 365 project , so here it is.

I like the lighting and the fact I was able to snap the shot handheld without flash with just a little shutter delay to allow for more light.

...Guitars and sharps and flats
Neat, sweet, a groovy song
You're invited, come along......

Day 228/365 - Blue, blue, my world is blue....

I wanted to get a new self portrait this month and I had some some neat things online, so I tried for a half-hour or more to get something different. This is one of the best I could come up with.

It's ok, but blurry in normal size, the smaller size makes it look quite interesting and I like the blue reflection off of my face, I didn't like getting up and down 50 times to check on my progress.

....Blue is my world now I'm without you....

Day 227/365 - They was a-splishin' and a'splashin'....

Brendon's first trip to the beach. He had an absolute blast there, loved the water so much, kept opening his mouth and trying to drink the whole lake. So cute, Here is Mom and baby kickin back in the water looking at crazy daddy as he venture into the water with his camera.

Lot's of good shots, didn't know which one to use, but I like this one the best....

....Reelin' with the feelin', movin' and a'groovin'....

Day 225/365 - Who's that kid with the Oreo cookie?....

Ahhh who can resist such a tasty treat as some oreos and milk, not me. I eat healthy a LOT but I can't resist the delicious taste of an oreo cookie and some milk, it's my achilles heel I suppose, lol, sure.......

Nice closeup shot of my treat the other night, I like the lighting reflecting off the milk and the dark background.

...Crunching all the crunchy chocolate, licking all of the creamy middle. There he is with his friends and O-R-E-O.....

Day 225/365 - In a carnival, of sights to see......

Went to the Cumberland fest last Friday night with Michelle, Brendon and her friend Jamie. It was packed with people walking around eating, playing carnival games and riding the rides and the vendors with their goodies there as well. Brendon had the best time just looking at everything, wide awake until the fireworks were going off right above us, THEN he falls asleep. He was quiet the whole night..

I took lots of shots and couldn't decide on which to use, but I wanted to use one that showed the carnival sites at their finest so here is a bit of that, shutter held open a few seconds longer to capture as much light as possible without making it too blurry...

....All the cheap thrill seekers vendors and the dealers They crowded around me....

Day 224/365 - Faster than the speeding light she's flying..

I wasn't expecting much from this picture as I held the camera up as we were driving. usually I end up with just a blur of headlights and not much else, in this case I got a bit more, It actually looks as if we are travelling really fast as I managed to keep the camera still enough to keep the same lane dividers in the shot, so while a bit blurry it came out pretty neat I thought....

...quicker than a ray of light, quicker than a ray of light...

Day 223/365 - mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Stopped by this little park area on the way home last week, I took a few shots at the spot where some guys were fishing, at the tennis courts etc, I liked this shot the best, along side the bridge.

I like the reflections of the clouds in the water, the sky above got a bit too washed out though...

..who's the fairest one of all...

Day 222/365 - I'm a little bit country And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll.....

I always drive by this place on the side of route 6 not long after getting into RI . I finally managed to stop and take a look around both outside and in. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to take pictures inside, but I snuck a few anyway. They knew I had the camera I didn't hide that, just kept it over my shoulder.

I actually snapped this shot without looking through the viewfinder and liked the look. It's a typical country store. A bit overpriced I thought.

....I'm a little bit of Memphis and Nashville With a little bit of Motown in my soul

Day 221/365 - Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see......

I was trying to get some sort of picture outside yesterday and since I can't get any clear views of the sun from here, this is what I got. Through the trees you can see the sun on it's way down.

It cast a nice orange glow on the leaves but not enough to capture the real moment, we live in the wrong area for getting any dramatic sunsets. I'd have to drive out to the parks perhaps and try there...

...I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me....

Day 220/365 - Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony....

Took the keyboard out to play some songs for Brendon, he loves when I play. I also love playing once in a while, but it's been a long while so I'm playing it again for a bit. I sound like I'm rambling there.

Nice shot down the length of the keyboard, the front keys in somewhat clarity and a neat reflection off of the black keys.

...Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why dont we?....
