“Harvesting the Brain” Took this one a few days (weeks?) ago for my baby the math nerd. It will have to do for today. It was a rainy gray day here and there was nothing being harvested. I am grateful that the Lego mini figures always come to my rescue when my creativity is pretty much non-existent.
“The Better To See You With” I am grateful for all the things that make it easier for me to visually navigate through my days. My iPad, phone, glasses and monocular each do a little to make my world a little better. Because light sensitivity is one of the issues with my eyes, I chose to over expose this photo as a nod to that.
“Follow Your Dreams” I have learned many many lessons in my lifetime, most of them the hard way. The one that I value the most and the one that I wish that I had learned much earlier in life is to follow your dreams. I have tried to teach that one to the girls. Aren’t parents supposed to try to keep their children from making the same mistakes that they did? I am happy to see the girls trying to…
“A Friendly Surprise” Our friend Paul, who collects Hot Wheels and knows of my fondness for Lego mini figures, discovered that Hot Wheels and Lego have joined forces. This car has the iconic Lego “pegs” so that the mini figures can stand. How cool is that! It takes a true friend to know and appreciate how excited I would be to be given this Hot Wheels car as a surprise today. Since Paul started as our contractor and became a…
“Second Generation Trick or Treater” This beautiful little girl is certainly not frightful. What is frightening is that she is the daughter of one of Weber’s former middle school students. You know you have been teaching a long time when you have “grand-students” who come trick-or-treating at your house. It was dark outside and she is a wiggly two-year old excited by Halloween so this is not a great photo. I do kind of like the softness on her face….
“My What Big Teeth You Have!” I don’t like masks. One, because I am claustrophobic and can’t stand anything over my face. (Just ask the OR nurse that tried to put an oxygen mask on me before the good drugs had kicked in.) And two, hiding behind a mask is just kind of creepy. I am a “what you see is what you get” kind of person. I am also a very, very tired person. Truthfully, I am an…
“Ghostly???” I had zero creativity working today, well at least as far as photography was concerned. I think I used it all up in other places before I had a chance to take a photo for today. For the first time in 302 days, I hid to used an archived picture to accomplish a photo for today. I did have a few ideas for techniques I would have liked to try, but I just couldn’t muster the energy for…
“A Slice of Bread” I needed a little whimsy in my world today. Though this loaf of bread has indeed been sliced wide open, the wide open here really refers to aperture.
‘Watching the Trains” For some reason, we are both exhausted and stressed out these days. I can’t put my finger on exactly why that is. All I know is that no matter how much work I do I still have a ton more things that need to be done. It is a terrible feeling. I would just like to experience 48 hours where I don’t feel that no matter what I am doing I should be doing something else, something…
“Do I Look Like I Care About Halloween?
