Photo Challenge - Day 31 - Fruit



I was going to go more unconventional and take a picture of my fruity kids.

But they were being their usual selves.

Uncooperative.

Photo Challenge - Day 29 - Light and Dark



I'm surprised at the clarity of the candle considering the slow shutter speed I used and my camera was hand-held.

Laying on the ground is about as low as you can go....

Photo Challenge - Day 17 - Water



With the AC out in the Police Cab, I've been drinking more of this than ever. (Filtered or bottled. Not straight from the tap.)

Photo Challenge - Day 16 - Time



As I was walking down the street one day  
A man came up to me and asked me  
What the time was that was on my watch, yeah  
And I said
 

Does anybody really know what time it is? 
Does anybody really care? 
If so I can't imagine why  
We've all got time enough to cry

Photo Challenge - Day 15 - Up


Looking up from our deck at Riley's wind screw, and looking up at our kitchen ceiling (where S stuck stars from D's 13th Star Birthday a year ago).

Photo Challenge - Day 12 - Mirror



 Okay. So it's 3 mirrors (and a couple of knuckle-heads).

Whatever.

Photo Challenge - Day 11 - Sunlight



This didn't come out quite how I imagined it in my head because I don't really know what I'm doing.

I still have some learning to do.

My favorite, and very special, lizard tiles.

I need more (hint, hint).

Photo Challenge - Day 9 - Morning


I usually start my day off with half a bagel with a glass of milk, but the Quaker granola cereal is really yummy and the Dean Koontz book is riveting.

Phoyo Challenge - Day 8 - Technology



It's all around us. We use it everyday in one form or another.

Photo Challenge - Day 6 - Favorite Drink


Milk has been my favorite drink since I was a little girl. I don't drink as much as I used to, just one 8 oz glass every morning with my half a bagle and cream cheese.

Photo Challenge - Day 5 - Reflection


Getting a bubble reflection isn't as easy as it looks.

Especially when your bubble solution has been sitting on the deck in the sun for over a year....

Photo Challenge - Day 4 - My Shoes



These are my most ultimate favorite shoes. At the risk of sounding really corny and crazy, I soooo love them. Just looking at them makes me happy, say nothing about when I wear them....

Photo Challenge - Day 2 - Macro (Close-up)


I was going to take a close-up of a flower, but that's so over done. So I made D be my model because I love taking pictures of her eyes.

Oh, those gorgeous eyes!

And to make the shot even better, an eyelash fell on her cheek!

And she has all those adorable freckles.

(I did get a couple shots where I was reflected in her eye, but I chose this one because of the light in it.)

Photo Challenge - Day 1 - Self Portrait


Okay. Day one of my Photo a Day Challenge.

I started off with the toughest.  (As my Mother-in-Law says, "Eat the frog first.") Self portraits are so hard for me. I can never get a good shot of myself.

I used my iPhone for this shot, and took my glasses off to avoid the glare on them. Consequently, I couldn't really see what I was doing!

It's not easy to take a self portrait when everything you look at is blurry, hence my slightly confused look!
