“Other Side of the Track” I like the lines in this photo – the tracks, the stripes on the train and, yes, the fence. The fact that DART trains are bright yellow makes them nice to photograph, an added bonus. Though today’s prompt was fences, this is not a beautiful or really even an interesting fence, I did have fun creating lines from various perspectives. “Middle of the Road” This is the same fence shown above. I like the implied…
“A Lite Conversation” “So, which came first . . .the chicken or the egg?” Or, a spotlight on a warped sense of humor.
“Table Manners” I don’t usually have my camera with me at the dinner table. I also don’t usually look across the table at dinner to see a set of feline ears staring at me from the chair across from me. I did have my phone in my pocket and was able to snap this picture. I’m terrible at phone photography and I haven’t spent much time playing with all the photography apps that are available. I already don’t have enough…
“Tearing Into Books” I had a plan for today’s picture. I wanted a picture of the mailman’s arm reaching out to open the mailbox. I got home in time to go outside and get my camera settings. Then I waited patiently. I saw the mail truck coming up the street so I went outside and assumed my post. He stopped in front of our box. No arm. No arm. Still, no arm. The the entire mailman emerged from the truck….
“Perfect Complement”
“First Fruits” Erin brought us a strawberry plant. It is full of berries already! Though this shot is kind of busy, I like it because it shows the berries at several different stages of development. I also like these two very different perspectives on strawberries. “Ripening” “From the Berry Back”
“Wishes in White”
“Edge Of The Water” We went to the park this evening just to get some fresh air and wind down at the end of another school week. I love to watch the ducks and the birds and the children playing. I love the sounds of the park. Even though there is usually a lot of activity, the park always seems peaceful to me. On our way, we stopped along the road so that I could take some pictures of a…
“A Love of Reading” Pictured here is a first edition of Robin Hood given to Weber’s father in 1924. Weber remembers his dad reading it to him when he was a little boy. The oil lamp has also been in Weber’s family for a long, long time. He thinks that it once belonged to his great-great, or maybe great-great-great aunt. Either way, it has been around a good long while. I love having all these pieces of family history as part…
“In Big Trouble With the Big Cheese” Rick Maxwell, aka the “the big cheese,” is our division dean and this is a photo of our shared refrigerator in the faculty workroom. I think someone had the wrong idea about what shared really means! How could they take the boss’s cheese sticks?
