colors day 120

Just about 1/3 of the way through the year. I have taken at least a shot a day and am on track to get my project done. I didn't realize how tough this ws going to be when I presented this to my buddy Eric. Most of the time I am excited to create something fun but it seems like this past week I have been real tired and its been a struggle to get a set together. My daughter has really got exited about drawing and color pencils and I got this idea from Alan and his shot on day 117. Mine is not as colorful as time was limited today. I have some other ideas but will visit later in the year.

Vinyl

Released my Sophomore year in College, 1979. What was your favorite hit on this platinum gem? Take the Long way home? Breakfast in America? Goodbye Stranger? Logical Song or another one of many on this fine album. I was looking for something else to shoot and while I was digging in the closet I ran across my collection of Classic hits. I decided on this cover and I enhance the lighting on the right with a flash of my own.

bagels and cream cheese

I took my daughter to the doctor today and of course we get in there and as soon as we step into the doctors office she gets chipper, headache is gone, no sore throat, no fever ears are fine etc... and doc gives her a checkup and can find nothing wrong. So on the way home I offer to stop at Dairy Queen and buy her an ice cream and she turns it down and asks if we can stop at Fred Meyer for bagels and strawberry cream cheese. She's THREE!!!! Turning down ice cream at three? Well you guessed it, as soon as we get home the headache is back, fever spikes back to 104. Real weird!!!! We did put her down tonight with no signs of a fever though. Sigh....

Long day

104 degree temp. It seems like my daughter has had a fever more times this year than has been well. The bug has hit her hard once again and to boot we had to get up at 2:30am and start our trek back home (2:30am seattle time). We were stuck on the runway in Denver for an hour waiting for the plane to be de-iced and delayed our trip an hour or so. She stayed awake all day until about an hour ago. I thought this might be a great capture for the day.

First Melon of the Season

Nothing better than a good fresh watermelon. I loved this fruit as a child. I love it more as an adult. I could mow through half a melon in one sitting. I want to know what the top secret Recipies are though?
