Day 260/365 - Everyday it's a-gettin' closer.....

Here's a shot of CJ and Michelle on the rollercoaster at Santa's Village. I stood on the sidelines with Brendon while they went around a few times. You can see CJ is having a good time with his hands in the air.

A bit blurry but that's what it's all about , it shows the ride in motion that way....


...goin' faster than a rollercoaster....

Day 259/365 - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

We went up to Santa's Village with the kids last weekend and I hadn't a shot for the day, what better than to pay with the camera outside to get a night shot. I managed to get one that not only included the sign but the bushes beneath. The first few shots were just bright floating signs in a black background, not what I wanted, I'm learning to use this thing better... :)

...everywhere we go....

Day 258/365 - I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers.....

I stopped off for a quick bite to eat near the beach in Jamestown and what picture do I post. This one of a field of yellow flowers all in bloom. I took a bunch through the fence at flower-level to get the vast expanse of them in the shot.

I like the depth of view, some clear while others are not in focus, it continues into the background that way.

....I want to check you for ticks...

Day 257/365 - Jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those peepers....

This is a hint of things to come, we are a ways off from the next project , however someone is starting to emerge from their hiding place to get into the spotlight. Here is just a closeup of part of him.....

I like the dark background against the bright eyes.

....jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those eyes...

Day 256/365 - Lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars....

I really didn't have much this day, I thought his came out kind of interesting by taking this candleholder and putting it in front of a light to get this effect.

Just had to line it up right and shoot...

...this is the only time I really feel alive...

Day 255/365 - All in all it's just.....

Here is a little part of the retaining wall I've been building. It's an ongoing process for the past month or 2 . It's been a bit busy around here and not enough time on the weekends to get it all done..

Nothing special about this shot.

Day 254/365 - I fell right through the cracks.....

Trying for a new self portrait this month and really, I had nothing , this is shot on the back porch with the remote shutter to take the picture. I see a football in the shot, oops, didn't realize it was there until now. I think I'm gonna try another self portrait this month...

A bit grainy with the dim lighting..

...now I'm trying to get back...

Day 253/365 - Look at me I'm Brendon B......

I only had pictures of the baby this day so I picked through them and liked this one. Here he is crawling underneath his jungle walker. He seems to love crawling underneath anything he can, a lot of times he'll roll over on his back and play with whatever is hanging down, he looks like a little mechanic under thear. Here he just looks content.

I played with the lighting from the sun pouring in through the windows. The shadows aren't quite what I wanted but I like the picture...

....Just keep your cool now your starting to drool......

Day 252/365 - Take me out to the ballgame.....

We were treated to an event at McCoy stadium from Michelle's work. Sullivan and Company. I barbecue for 2 hours before watching the Pawsox play. We were treated to being able to see Daisuke (Dice-K). I capture plenty of shots of the game and crowd, I liked this one a lot.

I love the blurred crowd, it reminds me of one of those baseball video games, where all the people in the stands were just a mishmash of colors, He was really interested in what was going on in the game though....

...buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks....

Day 250/365 - Theres a lady whos sure All that glitters is gold And shes.....

I took a side road on my way back to Smithfield and ended up near the Woonsocket reservoir. I didn't know where I was for a moment but continued on the road to get back to civilization. Sometimes there is a flowing waterfall here, but the gatehouse and dam where deserted. I thought these were stairs that went up beyond the wall into nothing...

I like the bright green grass and the decaying stairs and concrete wall here. Nothing special but a neat shot I thought...

...buying a stairway to heaven....
