129/365 Animals


"Watchin' TV"

Adidas loves to watch TV where animals are prominent.  He likes anything with four legs - including the Geico gecko.  Unfortunately he barks and carries on so getting a decent picture is next to impossible
This is not a good photo but it is definitely a glimpse of what life is like at our house.

128/365 Snack


"Nacho Average Snack"

In Texas, nachos are always a great snack.

127/365 Candy


"Nibbles of Shortbread"

Obviously I failed to post this last night.

By some mis-alignment of the planets, we had no candy to speak of for me to use in this prompt.  The cacao nibs were the closest thing I could find.  Brooke used them to make shortbread, and several other amazing sweet things, for me to take to school for a student recital.  Her shortbread with these little nibs of chocolate are my new favorite cookie!


"Shortbread"

Yum!

126/365 Crayons


'So Many Choices!"

Today's photo represents a lack of energy and a lack of creativity.  Some days are just that way.

125/365 Freshly Cut Grass


"The Last of the Bluebonnets"

It's hard to believe that this year's bluebonnet season is nearly over and that we are a week into May.  And, there are only two weeks left in this semester.  Where has the time gone?  Oh yeah, it has gone to lesson plans and grading papers and attending rehearsals and recitals and taking pictures.  Though it has been a good semester, I am ready for a break.

The bluebonnets in this picture are just about gone too.  They were certainly much prettier a few weeks ago.  I took this picture as the opposite of today's prompt of freshly cut grass.  People who have bluebonnets in their yard have a few weeks more than the rest of us before they have to start their springtime mowing.  We've had to mow a few times already.  The folks with the dwindling wildflowers in their front yard are going to have to do the same very shortly!

124/365 Wide Angle


"Peace in the Park"

I love the peacefulness of this path which meanders through our city's rose garden.  I really like the simplicity of this image.

123/365 Orange


"A Few Of My Favorite Things"

Because orange is my favorite color, I had lots of possibilities for today's picture.  It was hard to decide which direction to go.  I finally decided to go with an image of several of my favorite things - the color orange, oranges and yarn with which to knit.
