I'm determined to post photos more frequently and since I usually take hundreds of photos and only post a couple, this should not be a problem. This one if from a series I took the other day of the dogs playing;
In an effort to post everyday I've decided to join the macro Monday fun.
This is a picture I took back in May and never posted. I thought it would fit the bill just fine.
Alright, I know I keep saying I'm back but I really, really am this time. I find myself spending so much time working that I have to incorporate something fun into my days. So I am going to post something everyday and that means getting involved in this stuff again. So seriously, I am back for real this time.
The letter C brought up a lot of possibilities but after careful consideration (okay, I thought about it for 2 seconds) I decided to go this way.
My new car!! It's Ford's breast cancer car:
It's a 2010 and it's fun. Mustang went back to the old school dashboard:
So I could go on and on but I'll stop here. That is my contribution. I'm now off to find something fun for Macro Monday. If you want to join the fun of Sunday Stills, head on over and join the party.
After much time off I am back and will continue this every week. Since the subject was anything goes I decided to go back through my archives and see what I had that I hadn't published yet. Here is what I came up with:
I am standing on the USS Missouri looking at the USS Arizona. In Pearl Harbor they have them situated nose to nose, the beginning of the war and the end of the war. The Missouri has gone into dry dock for some much needed repairs and won't be back again until January. But I love this picture and think it's very poignant.
If you want to play along head over to tnchick to join in the fun.
I have said this again and again, I'm going to get more active and take more pictures, and then I don't follow through. Life gets in the way, too much responsibility and the fun stuff falls by the wayside. No more!!!! Starting right now, today, I'm going to post a picture a day on this thing. I am!!! How long does it take to take one picture and post it. It will get my mind off whatever is going on around me. It will be a fabulous mental break. So starting today one picture a day. I'm off now to take that picture.
Well I've been away quite awhile. Between teaching and going to school and working on a thesis and taking care of the animals I have not had a minute to myself. Over the last couple of weeks though things have settled down and I find myself with some actual time on my hands. WooHoo!!! I've decided that it's time to get back into the camera. So, for my first return to the world of the living I submit the following for Sunday Stills this week:
The school I work at has a rock wall along the driveway that is covered in cactus plants. I thought they were just ordinary cactus plants until I came to work one morning and found this:
What first caught my attention was the incredibly sweet smell in the air. That was not a normal smell. But it caused me to look around and that's when I spotted the flower. I went over and took some pictures.
Those green things above the flower are the flower buds for more flowers.
This is the dragon plant, or the dragon fruit plant. It blooms only once a year at midnight. The flower I caught was the first bloom, the next morning the whole wall was covered in flowers but I had left my camera at home - figures!!! Anyway, it's a gorgeous sight, one I've heard about but never been able to catch. I'm glad I caught it this year and hopefully I'll catch it again.
