90/365 Basket


"Egg Game 2103"

I have many pictures from our Easter Day together.  My intent is to write a longer post about our day, but I am too tired to do it tonight.  I will write and post about it tomorrow.  

This picture is from the playing of "the egg game."  From left to right the hands are Brooke, Erin, Edgar, Edgar's mom, and his little brother.  Weber, Jason and I were slow to get our hands in the eggs :-)

 One Easter when the girls were much younger, the Easter bunny brought with him rain.  That meant that the girls could not hunt for eggs outside.  As a substitute activity, I created a game involving game cards, eggs, candy and lots of treats.  It has become Erin's favorite Easter tradition, even now that she helps shop for the treats.

87/365 Flowing



"City Fountain At Night"

NOYE TO SELF: Waiting until 10:30pm to start your POTD is risky business, especially if you are trying to photograph flowing water.

Here is another shot of the above fountain using a much slower shutter speed.  This gives the moving water the "misty" look.


Here is a completely different fountain.

86/365 Hunt


"Hunting For Food"

The only hunting going on around here is hunting for recipes for the weekend's meals.  I want to try making Scotch Eggs.

85/365 Color


"Please Take Me Home!"

I went to the grocery store the other day to get bananas, and only bananas.  As soon as I walked in the door, this plant cried out, 'Take me home with you, please!"  How could I resist the little orange flowers in the blue basket?  Those are my favorite colors. You knew that, right?  Despite its lopsidedness and the brown yips on its leaves, I could not resist this burst of color.  For this picture, I set it on a colorful tea towel that Brooke gave me.  All the brightness makes me smile. The tag on the basket says, "Bloom."  Hopefully I can keep these orange flowers happily blooming.
