[05.16.11] Now That's a Little Much

Why Wegmans left such a stem on this pepper is beyond all of us! 

[05.15.11] My squirrel buddy

Just sitting on a fencepost enjoying some sort of nut...now that is the life. :D

[05.14.11] A Pretty House in Liverpool

One of the historic sites in Liverpool, this house caught my eye as I was riding past.

[05.13.11] Olden Tree

This is pretty much the coolest tree in my neighborhood, so it of course got a whole day's worth of the photo journal coverage. :D

[05.12.11] The Random Photographer's Shadow

While out riding around town I snapped a shot of me and my bike.  Another glimpse into "a day in the life." 

[05.11.11] What a Strange Rim for a Car

While out browsing a car lot, my mom was commenting how terribly ugly these rims are.  I found that to be quite humorous, and so did my mom once I explained that these are just plastic covers to protect the rims in shipment.  For you car buffs out there trying to guess make and model, I'll give you a hint: this car is a VW. 

[05.10.11] Tulip Time!

While out for a walk this morning with mum and Windsor, I chanced upon these beautiful blooms.  Of course I had my trusty Canon with me, so I snapped quite a few shots.  Tulips are a sure sign of spring!

[05.09.11] Chipping hammer + concrete + me = tired me and chipped concrete

After enduring several hours with this bad boy, the fence post was still impregnable.  Soooooo...I am going to sawzall it and call it a day.  Tomorrow that is.  This was taken at 9:00 p.m. 

[05.08.11] AWANA Award Ceremony!

Here is a shot from this year's Awana award ceremony at our church.  As a result of completing two books in one year, she got two different awards.  For those not in the know, Awana is an international Bible club for children.  Typically a child will complete the one book for the year, but because Windsor started a year late, she worked twice as hard and got two done!  Bravo kiddo! :)

[05.07.11] A stack of old tires

I still can't figure out why people make it a habit to leave old tires out in remote places.  The cost of dropping a load at the dump versus finding a place to dump is far lower.  What people do to avoid the rules is interesting.

[05.06.11] A road sigh and a sky

I really liked the colors in this shot, as well as the cheery overall ambient light. 

[05.05.11] The BEST cookie ever!

It didn't occur to me until I was wiping the toothsome crumbs from my mouth that the cookie would be a good blog shot.  So I decided to get a shot next time I get one, and settle for the package this time.  I can't wait to try out the espresso chip, coconut macadamia chocolate, and all the other delicious varieties available.  For those who would like one, I bought it at Natur-Tyme for about $2.00.  Little tip:  best two dollars you'll ever spend.  ;)

[05.04.11] Barley Max Phenomena

This is barley max drink (see hacres.com) with the drink mix still in the shape of the teaspoon floating on top.  Surprisingly, when I tapped it with my finger to dissolve it, it was quite strong and didn't sink easily.  Gotta love surface tension.

[05.03.11] Teasicles

Pronounced tea-si-cle.  Noun.  When tea of any type is frozen in such a way that resembles a Popsicle or other such frozen treat on a stick.  In this case, Windsor and her little neighbor friends enjoying a peach tea variety.  Homemade too! :)

[05.02.11] A sinister concrete monstrosity

Something about the concrete construction, dumpster, random stock car, and high razor-wire fence adds to the sinistery.  

[05.01.11] A rusty old truck

I came across this rusty old vehicle, and I was immediately interested.  I have a strange innate interest in old, rusty cars and trucks, mainly because they are usually older, and I see the potential in restoring them and keeping history alive.  One day I will take some time and restore one. :)   

[04.30.11] A few springy boquets

My mom has a knack for nursing sickly plants back to health, and Windsor loves picking assorted flowers outside, so pictured here is an assortment of the flora in our home.

[04.29.11] Hmm...what's in here?

This little squirrel just can't keep his head out of the flowerpots.  Finally I captured his caper to be forever etched in time; or at least temporarily etched in my camera memory card. :D
