    My Favorite Color is Chrome

    Ft Lewis had a small Motorcycle show this weekend. And before my headache knocked me to the couch, I managed to go try my hand at shooting some chrome. I love Chrome on bikes, and I love the curves, and lines of the pipes and engines. I do have a weakness though. I forget when my brain slips into photographer mode, to step back and take a few normal snapshots too.  Ooops. Click thumbnails to embiggify.

    V is For Valor

    I mentioned a while back that my husband earned an award while over in Afghanistan. At the time I didn't have the whole story, and it wasn't official yet. However, I do now, and it is. He received copies of it yesterday, since he won't be here for the ceremony. He'll receive the originals when he gets back from school. I'm very glad I didn't know then. I was torn between hugging him, clobbering him, or doing...

    The Shadow Knows

    What does she know? Well, she knows The Purge slaughtered Lord Marrogar. Ratters tells the tale way better than me. I’m just here to say, ya know…I think I’m the guild stalker. There sits Ratshag, minding his own business. But that clearly isn’t HIS shadow now is it? Nothing, and Noone is to big and bad for me… Yeah, I see you pretty boy. The shadow knows. Oh yes, she knows. And I don’t care how many sp...

    OMG I Have a Car!

    I can’t stop saying that. I, as of yesterday morning, have my first car. hubby got home Saturday, and as planned we went to start looking on Sunday. What we didn’t plan on was finding a vehicle that day that we couldn’t pass up. Nor was I sure we could even get financed, since I’d only cleared our credit card debt (again) a couple months ago. But we found one, and we did. We were looking for an SUV. Either a Yukon, ...

I ralized I didn’t show the whole froggy setup last time. And since it’s monday, I have nothing else to say. So Here we go.

They really hate leaving the plants alone. I replant them, they uproot them. I have given up on it.

I changed the water on Saturday. A fairly simple procedure. drain 3/4 of it out with a baster, and refill with spring water. I had no choice since they decided to do what boy and girl frogs do, and leave little eggs all over it, also the male had decided it was time to shed his skin, and there was icky floating around. It should be good for six months now. I just need a very small skimmer net.

They are quite fun to watch, and listen to. They’ve started singing to me in the evenings. And sometimes, they’re even photogenic.

Froggy Say Relax!

They still need names. We definitely have male and female.

Birthday Project

I guess turning 35 is a milestone somehow. I always swore I had no problem with aging, but for some reason this particular number is annoying me. I’m sure it will pass. No, I’m not writhing on the floor in a fetal position desperately clutching my youth and mumbling about anti aging creams.  But I am starting a blog project.  Thanks to Niki. It’s called Project 365. Starting today, I’m posting one photo per day. My thinking is one, it will get me back to blogging more, and two, dust off my photo skills. The first picture is today. Then I need to set up a Flickr account or something to store them all in order.

Todays lucky subject is the always photogenic, more cooperative than the kids, and adorable…Daisy! Daisy just had a birthday too. On Janary 15, she turned 6!
