Miles and Miles

It's still Tuesday (barely) so here's my PhotoTime submission. The theme this week is: Curves

Curves.jpg

They're building a brand spanking new control room at work so there's wires and blueprints and new consoles and a new board! all over the place. This green stuff was stretched all through the hallway the other day.

Foggy Reflection

Foggy.jpg

I snapped this on the way home tonight. I had a couple with a sharper focus, but I like the softness of this one better.

Spring Bee

A little Phototime today. The theme is: It's a Spring Thing!

I left work for my dinner break and this big pink flowering bush was outside. I just had to stop and play for a few minutes. The bees were enjoying it too!

More Flowers

TreeFlowers.jpg

These are from a tree that had tons of these tiny white blossoms on it.

Droplets

RainFlowers.jpg

It rained today, these are on the tree outside my living room window. The screen in that window has never really fit right, and now I'm glad since it makes it a lot easier to get it out so I can take a decent picture.

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm....

StrangeNeighbors.jpg

I thought it was a little odd that these two buildings are right next to each other. With nothing else really nearby. The closest thing is a restaurant at the other end of the parking lot.

Takeoff

I had a hard time finding an appropriate picture for this one, (which is why I'm posting on Wednesday instead of Tuesday!) I finally went with a couple shots I already had in my "arsenal."

The Phototime theme this week is: Cargo

Cargo1.jpg

Inspecting the cargo before takeoff and...

Unloading the cargo!

Curly Cues

And some Theme Thursday posting now. The theme is: Twisted

This would be my hair after it gets wet. Very twisted!

Follow the Leader

Having fun with Photo Friday today. The challenge this week is: Play

These girls just wanted to play with the "ducks." I'm not sure if the parents were just playing along and not wanting to correct the kids or what, but apparently giant black, grey, and white birds are "ducks."

Play.jpg

Despite signs to the contrary everyone, including the security guys feed the geese. So when the kids went off with their parents (and a few suspiciously food like bags!) these guys followed right behind.

Left Behind

Methinks that someone didn't want to finish their treat.

Visible

CloudySun.jpg

The sun tonight. There was just the right amount of clouds so that you could actually look at the sun. Very cool.

Fun With Textures

For Phototime this week the theme is: Simplicity

I had a hard time coming up with something creative today, so we've got fun with macros and textures!

Summer Time

ChocolateIceCreamCone.jpg

You know it's getting warmer out when ice cream becomes the norm and the walk-up window is open at the local ice cream place. This was from Newport Creamery which has a restaurant all of 2 blocks from work. We've already been there twice in the past 5 days.

There's a little farm/zoo thing in the park near my house. This gal was a most cooperative photo subject!

Robin Red-Breast

RobinDesk.JPG

Driving in to work today I passed this guy just sitting in the middle of the road not moving at all. I had a sparrow hit my car once that acted the same way and the wildlife rehab people said to just put it in a box in a quiet place and let it recover for a couple hours and it'd be fine. So I quickly stopped my car, got out, and gathered up this little feather bundle. He didn't move at all when I went to grab him. So I found a box with some help from Slightly Surly Tape Guy and let him be for a few hours. I went to check on him and he was standing up and acting normally. I tried to get him out of the box, but he flew out! Definately feeling better ;) Once I caught him I took a couple pictures of him sitting on my desk and then took him outside, where he hopped across the parking lot and then took off.

Spheres... Well, Squished Spheres Anyway

Some Geometric Shapes for this week's Phototime.

Dots.JPG

Saw these at the grocery store the other day and just couldn't resist. Who knew they'd be good for a photo meme too!

May 21, 2004

I'm Ready for My Close Up!

Photo Friday's challenge this week is: Macro

Waaaaay too much fun with this theme!

And because I couldn't resist, a slightly more standard macro shot:

What're You Lookin' At?

So I'm incredibly late with this week's Theme Thursday. I was having major Photoshop issues and finally got them fixed. This week (or last week's) theme is: Frame

ChickenFrame.jpg

A chain-link framed chicken!

Wet and Wild

Checked today's Phototime before I went to work. This week is: Liquid

The sprinklers just happened to go haywire at work today creating a perfect chance for some meme-taking.

Ribbit, Welcome Home, Ribit

This guy was all set up to welcome me home when I walked into the "guest room" at home.

Black and White China

As usual I'm late with my Photo Friday-ing.

This week's challenge is: Black & White

ChineseDude.jpg

And the original color version too.

Fuzzy Face

DoryEyes.jpg

My uncle's cat Dory. We were over for dinner tonight and I just couldn't resist.

Preparing

GettingFrogs.jpg

Since massive amounts of Geocaching is going on while I'm home I needed to stock up on the little frogs I leave in caches. So a side trip to Michael's was included in today's searching (and finding!) of 5 caches.

Syn took this one, not me, being that I'm in the picture and everything.

FrogFirst.jpg

Here's one that was left in a cache Saturday night.

Ouch!

For PhotoTime.

It's just wrong that I let this thing bite me just so I could take it's picture.

SkeeterWrong.jpg

June 2, 2004

That's Just Wrong!

I probably could have used this one for the "wrong" theme as well. Is it pure water? Or is it a dump station? It's both!

Hunting

For Theme Thursday. This little gadget is indispensible when geocaching.

Above the Cotton

The sun setting while I was above the clouds in the plane on the way back to RI. Very cool!

My Visitor

Visitor.jpg

I started putting birdseed out on the ledge outside my living room window a couple weeks ago. I now have a pair of sparrows that are regulars as well as at least one squirrel. This guy is the bravest and so far has been the only one that I've gotten a good picture of. Hopefully his wife will calm down soon so I can snap her picture too. :)

Extracuricular Moth Activities

I was in the middle of posting this when I realized it worked for today's Photo Friday! I thought it was really cool when I stumbled across these guys in the midst of enjoying themselves. ;) Although, I wonder if something with a brain as primative as a moth's would really have a concept of "enjoying" anything... Well, it was certainly cool to see at any rate! At least I thought so.

Multi-Stripped

OrangeYellowFlower.jpg

Another pretty flower. This one reminds me of those ultraviolet pictures of flowers in science books. The ones that are supposedley what the insects see (or something like it anyway!)

July 30, 2004

Yikes!

xCarFire.jpg

I saw this car on the other side of the freeway while I was out and about yesterday. The smoke was visible from quite a ways back. Luckily it looked like everyone got out ok.

A Railroad Perspective

RailroadTracks.jpg

Just some tracks I was walking along while hunting for a cache on Thursday morning. It was all warm and misty and the tracks looked like they went on forever until disappearing into mist.

All Tied Up

MayflowerRopes.jpg

A few of the many ropes all over the Mayflower II. It's a reproduction of the original Mayflower that's docked in Plymouth, MA. It even sails occasionally! It was amazing to see this not-very-big ship and know that more than 100 people, and their livestock, sailed across the Atlantic all jammed into it. Incredible.

Geocaching Buddy

Found this little guy while geocaching today. Little bitty toads are cool!

A Question

PictureMenu.jpg

If a person needs the picture menu, doesn't that imply they can't read? So then how would they know to ask for it at the window?

Glowing Gazebo

Trying to do a little meme'ing today. The phototime for today is: Late Night

RW_Gazebo.jpg

One of the gazebos in Roger Williams Park in Providence at night. I've only been to the park twice so far, but the little I've seen of it I really like.

August 11, 2004

Man of the Cloth

PlimouthPastor.jpg

The man playing the part of the pastor at Plimouth Plantation. He was quite impressive! Talked to us for quite awhile about which translation of the Bible he was using (they used the Geneva one, not the KJV) He was really interesting to talk to. At the moment I can't find the name of the real guy he was portraying, but I'll keep hunting and once I do I'll post it.

Update: I think I found him. If I'm reading all the stuff I've found correctly, the real guy's name was William Brewster.

Brighten Up the Space

Dahlia.jpg

One of the morning guys has a huge flower garden at home and over the past week he's been bringing in some of them. This one's mine! Absolutely beautiful flowers all over the station.

1... 2... 3... Jump!

For Phototime. It takes some action to get back in the pond.

The Tree That Ate Syn



TreeSyn.jpg

This was taken while I was back home on vacation at the beginning of the summer. Syn and I were geocaching and there was one hidden in this tree. The shot ended up looking really goofy though!

Fun With Rain

Just experimenting with looking through the windshield while it's raining.

Watch the Birdie!


MioneKitchen.jpg

Someone ended up on top of one of the cupboards in the kitchen today. Don't worry, I wasn't cooking or anything. Fids are not allowed free flight when cooking is going on!

So Many Colors!

I'm late, but here's Tuesday's Phototime of: Back to School.

My favorite part of going back to school in the fall was always going and getting school supplies. I could (and still can!) spend hours in office supply type stores without any difficulty.

Thirsty Bunny


BenjaminCoke.jpg

For Phototime, this week is: Pets. Is he a Momma's bunny or what? ;) This has become his new favorite thing to jump on and around and over...

She's Blushing!


MioneOrange.jpg

For WordPhoto which I just discovered yesterday. Today is: Orange

I think this is the best picture I've ever taken of Miss Mione. She is so incredibly hard to photograph!

The Classics


FordOld.jpg

My first i-gizmo submission for: Car. I'm not sure which model Ford this is. All I know is it's old and quite cool!

Not Good


SidekickScreen.JPG

I left it on the charger last night and it looked normal, this afternoon I grabbed it on my way out the door to work and it looked like this. I think something just might be wrong with it. Grrr!
