“Brooke-worm” This kid began reading at age 3 and hasn’t stopped since. I’m not sure how Borders Books went out of business. I think we spent enough money there to have kept them in business by ourselves. By the time that Brooke was six, she was reading so much that I no longer could read everything that she was reading first to make sure that it was appropriate. If I had, I would have had no time to read for…
“Pinwheel” I don’t know if the pinwheel itself is lively, but it was given to me today as a gift by a very lively person. It’s bright and cheerful colors and the sunflowers made me smile. I’ll take happy over lively!
“Lost Time”
“Frankie and Snoopy” There is not much creative about this photo; today’s creativity came in the form of relating this photo to the prompt “secure.” Here goes: Frankie is secure in her belief that this is her bed and not ours. She is certain in her belief that she could have been “the cat next door” in the Peanuts strips. I am secure enough in who I am to admit to you all that we have Peanuts flannel sheets on…
‘Eternal Light” I am pretty much a purist when it comes to photography. I do very little editing of my photos – cropping, black and white conversion and sometimes a little boost of contrast and saturation. Somehow doing too much feels like cheating. I’m not sure how I developed this attitude; it is probably one that I need to overcome, but I’m not there yet. That being said, this photo is obviously heavily edited. Today’s prompt not only asked…
“Slaving Over A Hot Fire” Though there were many things that we should have done today, we shirked all of our adult responsibilities and spent the day celebrating a friend’s birthday by sitting outside talking, laughing, enjoying the perfect weather and roasting hot dogs over the fire pit. It was a glorious day. And what better way to show your wife that you care about her than by slaving over a hot fire roasting her a hot dog. Seriously, what…
“Friday Afternoon” By the end of the day Friday, I was exhausted, too exhausted to concentrate on a photo so I recycled this one that I had taken earlier in the week. It represents quite well the way I felt Friday afternoon. As a further testament to how out of it I was, not only did I not take a new photo, I forget to post yesterday the one that I recycled.
“Behind the Umbrella” What happens behind the umbrella stays behind the umbrella.
‘Size 8″ I am short on time and inspiration today. Since we seem to have no resident octopus, the best I could do in only few minutes this afternoon at photographing the number eight was a picture of the size 8 knitting needle I’m using in one of my current projects. Lame, I know, but at least I took a photo.
“Chow Hound” This is Adidas and his bowl. I’d like to say that in his mind this is the most important bowl in the house. But, the truth of the matter is that any bowl that has food in it at the time, his or someone else’s, is the most important bowl to him. Harley’s bowl, the cat’s bowl, a human’s bowl – they are all fair game according to this boy.
