Day 249 Dandelions

Day 248 Feet in the Evening Light

As I sat lazily on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table I noticed the evening light shinning on my toes. So of course I had to photograph my feet.

Day 247 Green Soap

My husband bought this soap. It's slightly used and I thought I should photograph it before it's all gone.

Day 246 Hands in Two Seconds

...under a house light.

Day 245 Drive to work

Yesterday was the most beautiful morning I have ever seen. However I didn't bring my camera because I was tired of taking to and from work while driving pictures, and of course I now live to regret it. So today I took my camera and took pictures while driving.

I have to say how lucky am I that the red tire rim is in the top picture.

Day 244 Grey on Black

This picture of a woman, top, has been sitting around the house for I don't know how long. Not feeling very well today I thought I would photograph it. Then I decided to photograph my old plastic horse. I've had that old plastic horse since I was a wee child. Then it occurred to me I could photograph a few things of the grey/silver persuasion.

Day 243 Almond Blossoms, Peach Blossoms

I've been wanting to get a picture of all the beautiful almond blossoms. They're falling and not many are left on the trees so it had to be today. Consequently this is also the time when the peach blossoms are beginning to appear. These images were taken while I was driving, but are not part of the to and from work series.

I notice there are a lot of trees in my pictures lately. All I have to say about that is, this is the best time of year to photograph trees.

Day 242 Drive To and From Work 5

I have to say I truly love taking pictures while I'm driving to and from work. Top picture was taken while driving to work, and the bottom picture was taken driving home from work.

Day 241 Snail

I've been wanting to photograph some sort of living form on black with a macro lens. Then today I found my subject. After I took his picture I put him back where I found him.

Day 240 Moose Park

I will be the first to admit I am not a nature photographer. It takes a special kind of skill and patience for that kind of work. However, I did snap a few pictures this morning while walking my dog Tyler. I love this park it's a fun place to walk a dog. Not to mention trees always have a kind of secret quality to them.

Day 239 Portrait of Seven

One day while I was at work, probably about June of '99, my husband called to ask me who was this dog hiding in our bushes. I had no clue but prayed he'd be there when I got off work, which he was... I got on the ground and called him quite nicely to come here and he crawled on his belly over to me so I could pet him. We did try to find him a home but no one wanted him. We even called Lab Rescue but the woman said he was not part lab but part boxer. Here he is in February of 2010, still very beautiful and much loved.

I've been wanting to take a portrait of Seven with a black background for a long time now. Today I actually set up a couple of lights. It's just so hard to get Seven to cooperate. He's shy. This is the first frame and the best out of five.

Day 238 Drive To and From Work 4

I love all the old barns and houses hidden behind things I see while on my drive to and from work. Top picture to work, bottom picture from work.

Day 237 Hands in the Window Light

I love how the evening light moves around the skin of my aged hands.

Day 236 Rainy Day Trees

These are the trees in front of my house. These are pretty much the same scene. I had a narrow vantage point with which to try and grab a picture.
