Day 243/365 - The long and winding road That leads to your door.....

I was driving back from Sturbridge when I noticed my rear passenger door was slightly ajar, so I pulled onto the next street I saw which is what you see here. Some winding road that leads to some sort of Nature Preserve, it looked deserted, not a car in site, hmm , peaceful at least...

Just looked up and down the road and snapped a few shots....

...Will never disappear
Ive seen that road before....

Day 242/365 - Give me fuel, give me fire.....

Wonder what I was doing in this picture ? Hmmm, using electronic devices near the fuel pump, tsk tsk.

I like the bright colors in this shot. you can even see how much I was up to in $ at the time and those numbers were cranking fast, good speed on the camera....

...give me that what I desire....

Day 241/365 - The teacher said I had my head in the clouds....

The last few days of this heat wave we've been having have loaded up the sky with huge cumulus clouds. Here are just a few samples of what we have been seeing, so amazing, wish I could just jump around in those things....

Long range , used the telephoto to get this, stupid tree branch jumped into my shot somehow, post editing can take care of that though ...

...I've got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground...
(Paul McCartney)

Day 240/365 - well there's food around the corner , food around the corner....

We decided this week to try and plan our meals for the week, this was the first night, mushroom covered chicken thighs, peas and mashed potatoes, simple to start off , they get harder as the week goes on. A lot of slowcooker stuff.

I like the clarity of all three things on the plate, came out decent for the boring shot it is... Good food though!!!

....food around the corner for ME!....

Day 239/365 - Die Drei Musketiere!!....

Here is my nephew, sister-in-law and her friend who were visiting my ex Angi, they live in Berlin, Germany and came to see her and wanted to see us too. We went out for Chinese food in Reading, it was pretty good.

Sunlight directly behind me, very clear picture, the .arw version is even better....

...Einer fuer Alle!!.....
(One for all!)

Day 238/365 - You light up my life You give me hope To carry on .....

At Michelle's Pepe's 85th birthday we surprise him by showing up at Wright's Farm where he was expecting a few people , not 15. I needed a picture for the day and I liked the look of these chandeliers, so I took a few shots.

I like the lens flares in there actually, I went for this one that was dimly lit background with the bright bulbs, gives off the right amount of ambience

....You light up my days
and fill my nights with song ....

Day 237/365 - Over the river and through the woods....

A slow day , it was late I needed a picture of something so I tried a macro shot of this ceramic log cabin I have next to all my hiking books.

I used the lamp for lighting by tilting it slightly to let more in for the camera .

...to grandmother's house we go....

Day 236/365 - In the jungle, the mighty jungle....

Dropping off some books on cd at the library I drove around the back to head out and home and I noticed this sign. I didn't know we had wild CATS here. Something tells me it said something else under the giant CATS posted on there, I thought it amusing so I snapped a photo.

A simple shot of the day for me, nothing special but I like it for some reason.

...the lion sleeps tonight....

Day 235/365 - Not to put too fine a point on it Say Im the only bee in your bonnet....

I stopped by this place that I thought was a nature place that sold garden things since the outside is decorated so nicely by a large manmade pond. I was mistaken, it's a sort of antique furniture place with a Filene's basement approcah of automatic markdowns on things after a certain date. Interesting...

Here is a small little birdhouse hanging by a tree near the pond I mentioned. I like the colors and shadows in this shot....


...make a little birdhouse in your soul....

Day 234/365 - I scream, you scream, they all wait for.....

Wow was it hot the other night. We took the kids to the Ice Cream Machine in Cumberland and I expected a long line and there was. We got there just in time to avoid a long wait though.

2 in a row of night shots, wow, this one was tougher as the people kept moving and I kept the shutter open a teeny bit longer than normal to get some light in the lense. Not a bad attempt. It captures the hot summer moment I believe...

.... ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!....
