2.26 Light; An Edge - Leslie

This is a shot from my bedroom after the big storm came through Mansfield, MA. It is a profile of the tree and you can see the edge of the window; the edges in the snow. The evening light makes the scene look even harsher than it is.

2.24 A Cup o' Joe - Leslie

This is a State Auto cup; our former life. I like the knowledge that on the reverse of the cup, unseen, is a logo of RED; a part of State Auto that no longer exists. In my new life I still have my coffee in my old cup on my new cooktop surface.

By far my favorite snack. I'm also very territorial about my popcorn. It is a good thing Joe isn't very fond of popcorn, since I don't share.

2-17 Color

A day early for the color prompt, but since we were on a long walk (10.8 miles) I had my eye out for something that might help meet the prompt of "color from the garden".

I'm a day late with this post and photo, but here it is. Rhubarb pie made with love!

What's in your garage?

Joe rolled the drivers window down yesterday, and it wouldn't go back up! so we spent this morning taping on a clear shower curtain as a temporary fix. He has to drive to work Sunday & Monday, and can't get the car in until Monday afternoon. Bad luck just as the snow rolls in.

I couldn't decide what color of Fiestaware I wanted....

I just noticed, I actually have two additional colors of plates that are not in this photo!

2.7.Senses - Mari

Use your senses to enjoy this fine Malbec with me.

2.6.Backlight - Mari

2-6 Backlight, a photo by mhobkirk on Flickr.

The prompt today "backlight" held a lot of promise, and I had good intentions of using natural light to get this one.

I took this as I arrived in the school parking lot, using the HDR setting on the iPhone camera. Glad I took this one early, because shortly after this, it clouded over here, and we've been overcast all day. "They" say it is supposed to snow tonight.











Here is v2 of Backlit for today.

2.4.Beat - Mari

2-4 Beat, a photo by mhobkirk on Flickr.

I have a student who has rooted his PSP, he keeps telling about all the apps he's put on it, not sure I understand why you would root a PSP, but that's okay. Today he was showing me this app that creates music.

2.3.Pop of Red - Mari

Okay, I think issues with the Eye-Fi card are fixed, and I'm pretty certain they are user errors!  So today's prompt "A Pop of Red", I had to set this one up.  But I just got a macro lens adapter - can't opt for a real macro lens at this point, but a $12 adapter is in the budget.  Today's "Pop of Red" gave me the opportunity to play with that a bit.

2-2 Reflection - Mari

Okay no posts for a few days, I'm having technical issues with my Eye-Fi card, and I need to reformat it and start over, no time until later today or tomorrow.

In preparation for our 96 mile hike in Scotland, starting June 5, we walked about 6.5 miles in town today.  3.25 from our house to Olde Town Arvada, and the Arvada Beer Company.

While there we enjoyed the following:  Water Tower Wheat (Mari) and Barrel Aged Ale (Joe), as well as some frites from the Mannekin Frites next door.  It is a great setup, Arvada Beer, doesn't serve any food, but there are several restaurants in the vicinity that will deliver to your table!  The photo of the Barrel Aged Ale was better with the camera, and the Wheat was better with the phone.  Go figure!
