Ryan's "Tasteful"

... has gone missing. Don't wait up, folks!

School, work, holidays, procrastination. I have many excuses.

Michael's "Tasteful"

This kitchen thingy has a name. I forget what it is, but it is decorated with "good taste" or it is tasteful.

I had a lot of trouble with the topic this week because I'm not a man of good taste, but fortunately my wife has watched hours of HGTV and has learned to decorate the home using such.

"Tasteful" due Tomorrow

Next week "Genuine"

Scott's "Shady Work"

I have always taken pictures of the Moon when it was full. Capturing it when most of it is darkly shaded was a bit more work.....

Hoping this post goes up correctly.....

Last week a friend of mine invited us to a drag queen show. It seemed like pretty shady work to me at first. But when I went it turned out to be really fun. The lady in blue is the winner of this years drag queen show.

Ryan's "Shady Work"

Auto mechanics have a reputation of being somewhat shady, and the business in the background cuts chunks out of people and puts them in others! How much shadier can you get?



In the interest of full disclosure: I also used this photo in the WeeklyPhotography contest this week.

Michael's "Shady Work"

A coworker of Sandra's offered to help us finish the basement framing this weekend, and I have been pretty busy with that.


When all was done, I did get a chance to practice my hand puppetry with the flood lights I had set up while we worked. I call this this one "The Fedora". Oops.

"Shady Work" due Tomorrow

Next week - "Tasteful"

"I love you Maggie. Good Night. Sweet Dweams" is exactly what I heard Christina saying in the bathroom this evening when I walked in on her putting Maggie to sleep. (Maggie always sleeps in the bathroom.) I didn't think I was going to have a pic this week when Christina asked me for some blankets, took off down the hall, and took care of it for me! And poor Maggie - what a good sport she is.

This is Loki:




She has taken the art of sleeping to a whole new level.

Michael's "Sleep"

It's always a little hard to get sleep around my house with three dogs. One wants to pee, one wants food, and the other wants to play. All the time.

I obviously left part of lunch in my pocket.

"Sleep" due Tomorrow

Next week - "Shady Work"

Danelle's "Full of Life"

I suppose this is a little morbid. I was walking though Wyuka Cemetery, Lincoln's largest and oldest cemetery, and found myself remember a story my college professor told our class. When he was a young lad, he found himself locked into Wyuka at night. Though the dead rest there, the cemetery seems to be full of life during the late hours of the day. People do wonder this ancient cemetery at night. He told us that the creepiest place he wondered by (besides Starkweather's grave) was a place called "Baby Land". Here hundreds of young ones rest. Just the name "Baby Land" is creepy.

Behind this barn, in the day time, you see trees, birds and other things that are alive, but its at night when it becomes “Full of Life”. All kinds of fury creatures live there. Sometimes you can feel their eyes on you as you walk through the yard.

Oh, and this is a time lapse photo, where I forgot my tripod, so I set my camera on top of my shoe. Works well!

Andy's "Full of Life"

I was at Schramm State Park and found they still have the fish food to throw feed the fish in the fish ponds. The park may be run down and it doesn't see much in the way of visitors. But these little guys have some life in them still.

Full of Life due Tonight (Sunday)

Next weeks topic... "Sleep".

Sorry I was late again.... This is a pic I took later in the day of some clouds as the sun began to set.

Michael's "Weather"

After a couple weeks of really lousy weather, had a nice weekend. I took a walk in the Spring Well Cemetery to find a weathered stone. I found many.

I also found two turkeys running around inside the place, and a few outside the fence too. They could not figure out how to flock up with that fence in the way!

Weather effected this stone not only with the rain and ice, but providing the moisture and sun that allows the lichen that grows on it.

This is the weathered woodshed of a certain family member.

Finally Some Sun

After so many days of rain and clouds, waking up to find the sun breaking through the clouds gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside. And it is important to remember that if not for the rainly cloudy days, we would not appreciate or enjoy days such as this one.

This was taken off my deck early in the morning. Thanks to Christina, I get to experience a lot of beautiful sunrises.
