Day 251 - Beastie boy

The picture I planned turned out lousy and I don't feel like fooling around with it any more, it's getting late, I'm tired and cranky, and ... well, that's enough whining for one day. Besides, tennis is coming on. A quickie of my Buster boy will have to do. ;)

Day 250 - Hello Hanna

About as close to outdoors as I'm gonna get today as the remnants of Hurricane Hanna roll through our area dumping lots of rain.

Eh, it's good for the grass...

Day 249 - Hands on ...

... the keyboard. Lew going through today's photos to decide which one he'll use.

Day 248 - Learning

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught,
as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
~ John Lubbock ~

You may remember this statue from my library post in April -- it makes a good subject for hands too.

Day 247 - Bonsai bloom

Keeping a close eye on it for the past two weeks, I was rewarded today when the one bud that's been showing color finally bloomed. It's not the perkiest flower, it actually looks a little peaked, but I'm just pleased I haven't killed the thing!

Day 246 - Hand 'n the sky

Lew getting ready to cut the grass.

Day 245 - Helping hand

Lew helped me out by nicely posing his hand for this week's theme. :)

Day 244 - Peach shadow

After freezing another peck of peaches, I fooled around with light and shadows with the leftover one that Lew wants on his breakfast tomorrow. :)

Day 243 - Transition...

...from summer to fall.

Day 242 - "One bad apple...

...don't spoil the whole bunch, girl"*

*Lyrics from the 1971 hit tune by the Osmonds.

Day 241 - Spilled the beans

I could get into this still life stuff - :)

Day 240 - Southwestern still

Part of a collection of Southwestern pottery we got in Colorado quite a few years ago, these have been packed away since the family room redo. I only resurrected them because I needed some subject matter for this week's still life theme, but they look right at home in the new cabinet, so maybe we'll just leave them out.

Day 239 - Coral and shell

It doesn't hop, skip, or jump so I guess it qualifies as still life, yes? ;)

Day 238 - When life hands you lemons...

Stick 'em in a bowl on your kitchen table, take a picture... and call it a still life! ;)
