Day #31 - Burning both ends
Don't know what it is about candles that makes everything seem so soft and warm and cozy, but we enjoy whatever it is, particularly in the cold months. And especially when they smell so good - the short, chunky one smells like fresh-roasted coffee... mmmm!

Day #26 through Day #29 - Birthday and other things
Day #26 - On the Way
It was a beautiful day for traveling, cold but crisp and clear. I thought this cloud formation looked like God just took a swipe with His paintbrush.
Day #27 - Celebrating with a Crab Feast...
Day #28 - R&R
Day #29 - The Lake
Created by Duke Power Company, this immense lake provides water for hydroelectric, steam, and nucelar power plants. Fed by the Catawba River, this "inland sea" has 520 miles of shoreline - more than the coastline of North and South Carolina combined! - and a surface area of 32,510 acres. It's over 100 feet deep at it's deepest point, with an average depth of about 33 feet. Approximately 3,200,000,000 gallons of water fill Lake Norman - it took 11 months to fill it! It's an awesome sight, and one I look forward to seeing every time we drive down to the Carolinas.

We pulled it off, and Christy was totally surprised!
I got the best hug and some happy tears.

Day #24 - Through the looking glass
I've always liked this unique stained glass window at my dentist's office. Hopefully today's repair takes and I won't have to see it again for another 6 months though.
One of the tips on Project 365 is that we should include a photo of ourselves at least once a month to see how we change over the year... does my reflection count? LOL!
Here's a traditional one - with the beastie behind me. (it's hard taking a picture of myself - my arms aren't long enough!)One of the tips on Project 365 is that we should include a photo of ourselves at least once a month to see how we change over the year... does my reflection count? LOL!

Day #21 - Tennis is on
Being a big tennis fan - spectator-type - the Australian Open has had my attention this week and will next week too. Also learned something new about the flash on a camera. It comes on automatically each time you turn the camera on (even if you've turned it off previously... erg!) *sigh* - learn something new every day.

Day #14 - User-friendly mice
Love my optical mouse - reliable little gizmo and no ball to get all cruddy. Best invention since ... well, since they started inventing this stuff! And that would include the cordless mouse. Tried one of those once too, but got real tired of replacing batteries. Maybe it was a lemon, I dunno, but this one suits me just fine.

Day #11 - Dental mishap
Ack! Since my dentist was out of town, had to trek over to his standby for a look/see at a loose crown on an implant. Not sure of what my doctor used to attach the crown and not wanting to risk damaging the implant, we opted to wait until mine gets back on Monday - hopefully it will stay put until then!

Day #5 - Rainy day
It's a warm, rainy Friday at our house and I'm still playing around with close-up shots.
There's got to be a better way - other than a tripod, which I don't have - to keep the darn camera steady! But I dont want to have to go to a whole lot of trouble to take a picture because then this project will become a pita instead of fun.
I'll have to think on it.

Day #4 - Bare branches
The trees may be bare, but the grass is still green in this ridiculously mild winter we're having. An occasional bone-chiller has made an appearance, but for the most part average daytime temps are still in the 60's, with night temps in the upper 30's. All of which, of course, is fine by me!
