Day 341/365 - Sleep, baby, sleep, Down where the woodbines creep....

3rd in a series of baby pics, love the orange hat and brown gloves and the quietness of the moment. He looks so relaxed here.

Taken with prime lense in a dimly lit room , got the lighting I wanted and the softness of the photo as well.

...Be always like the lamb so mild
A kind, and sweet, and gentle child...

Day 340/365 - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

Wow, great decorations on this house. I could see it from the main street everytime I headed home from work, so I finally turned down the street to get a closer look. What a great job they did, it looks better in person..

Had to adjust the shutter speeds and white balance a bit to capture enough of the lights and background, nice shot overall I thought

...everywhere you go.....

Day 339/365 - I am chicken, hear me squawk Hear me crow and hear me bawk ....

What we had for dinner sometime last week, a little chicken cooked with some tasty flavors, some thyme, some chives, some garlic, a little lime, a little orange juice, a little sugar... some paprika, a little strange but a bit tasty ...

point and shoot, time to eat


...I'm nutritious, I am pure, I'm delicious.... I am CHICKEN!!....

Day 338/365 - While the boys chew lego....

Second picture of the little guy playing with his bag o' blocks. He likes eating and throwing these things around, also likes pulling apart whatever I have made for him...

Love the colors in this shot, while it's not such a clean shot, backgroung etc, it captures the moment quite right...

...So now we can't build castles for robots Because the pieces won't fit together....

Day 337/365 - This is the way we brush our teeth....

Teaching the baby how to brush his teeth, he actually cried when we tried to take the thing away from him, must like that minty fresh flavor! So cute, this starts a weeklong pictures (almost) of Brendon, he was just too cute to pass them up...

taken with my prime lense and flash

....brush our teeth, BRUSH our teeth....

Day 336/365 - Rockin' around the Christmas tree....

We set up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, took my old prelit minilight tree and removed those and replaced them with 630 colored LED lights! The funny thing is these lights are using 75% less energy so equivalent to only around 150 regular lights :) We all need that savings in this economy....

I liked the way the lighting came out in this one... captures the colors of the tree quite nicely, this was taken pre-ornament.

....at the Christmas party hop..

Day 335/365 - White meat dark meat you just can't lose.....

Thanksgiving morning had to go out and pick up a few last minute items at the only store open in the area. Well on my way there and back I saw 20 turkeys chilling in the front yard of a house on the corner down the street from mine, I thought there's my daily picture, so hear it is...

Adjusted the white balance and shutter speed to cpature the warm colors of the woods and the browns of the turkeys otherwise they were bluish tinted from the gray skys....

....Thanksgiving, is a special time... Jimmy Walker, used to say Dynomite!!!....

Day 334/365 - You don't bring me flowers.....

I was told I need to bring home some flowers for Michelle by some people on the cruise we were on, long story but they got to hear some intimate questions and answers in the newlywed game we played, was fun

I don't typically like too many of the closeup flower shots since they seem to be overdone yet I do take them from time to time if I'm inspired. Another macro shot focused on the flowers on the left...

....anymore.....

Day 333/365 - You say po-tay-to....

It is getting close to turkey day here and I had just brought home a bag of red potatoes I thought I'd try and get a closeup shot of these before they were all eaten.. mmm mmm good...

Simple macro shot with my 50mm prime lense...

... I say po-tah-to.....

Day 332/365 - When I pass by all the people say.....

Driving home from work the other night I thought I'd try and get some shots in the dark with the glow of the tail lights in front of me.

Neat shot taken out the side window, I didn't think it would come out as good as it did....

.....just another guy on the lost highway...
