They don't take much looking after either. We haven't needed to water then once yet. Though, after the boys have been at them we are a few petals short of a bouquet.

Many young couples just starting out usually wind up with wedding gifts that allow them to build a home together - small appliances, linens, etc.

 

So when we announced to our parents that we were finally getting married, one of the questions that my mom & dad asked me was "what do you want as a wedding gift?" Since Danielle and I have been together for 22 reasonably prosperous years, we don't really need or want anything. I jokingly answered "a toaster," as an hommage to those younger couples' typical wedding gifts.

 

Little did I know my parents would take me so seriously.

 

Somewhere in my Aunt Claire's basement lied this ancient relic of a toaster: a manual Hotpoint model which my grandparents received as their wedding gift something like 80+ years ago! They dusted it off, put in in a nice box, and voilĂ ! a regifted toaster for the 21st century.

 

As you can see, it still works. It must be watched very closely - any loss of focus and your bread will be charcoal in no time flat.

Taken for ODT: What doesn't belong

Day 52 of 365

 

A possible submission for Take A Class With Dave & Dave. I'm not sure if it will be my final submission for Assignment 3 (Silhouette), but for now I am liking it.

 

The temperature here lately has been crazy. It has gone from artic cold to 50 degrees yesterday and this afternoon and now it has dropped to freezing.

Come a little closer!

 

I have seen so many alligators in the Everglades I lost count very early on. For the most part they just lay there basking in the sun but some of the alligators were a little more active today on the Anhinga Trail. Here is one of them :-).

  

I saw this technique some time ago in Digital SLR Photography, a great British photography magazine. I finally found the words and photograph that I thought would work well together.

 

Any constructive criticism would be most welcome on this ...it's a little out of the box for me.

 

The lyrics are from the song The Only Way I Know sung by Jason Aldean with Luke Bryan and Eric Church

 

Don’t quit till the job gets done

That’s the only way I know

Don’t stop till everything’s gone

Straight ahead never turn round

Don’t back up, don’t back down

Full throttle wide open

You get tired, you don’t show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

You don’t get nothing that you don’t earn

find out just how bad you want it

The surface of a volatile planet? Unfortunately not... it's an arm very much in need of some Immac. Sorry, Veet or whatever they call it now.

 

A year ago today I was hiding behind a mask.

#day52 #52of365 A day in the garden, starting to rearrange and plan for this year. Onions, garlic, and broad beans are already in and seem to have survived the recent weather. This crocus was out - this was later in the day when the flower had closed up for the night.

052 :: 365 :: 21st February 2013

Early this morning just as the sun was starting to rise! I had to go get my shot extra early today due to my leaving for the day! Going to a classic car show and auction! ;D Have a great day everyone!

Well, more like a picture a day for my project 365! :)

It's been a busy day - lots of different countryfolk all over the place today - must have been about 300 visitors or more. This however was my arty shot for the 365. For some it might be contentious but I take the shots as I see them.

 

Still not as good as one of my previous versions of the same sort of shot, but at least this one is full-frame hi-res so it can be used elsewhere.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone star in Columbia Pictures' "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."

We had 6 inches of snow overnight, so of course I had to go out and play in it. They say that fresh powder is nice to ski in. I have never skied so I wouldn’t know. :-)

The first week back after the holidays has been grueling! Didn't know if I was gonna make it. But I did, so I'm putting my feet up and having a glass of wine.

 

It's time to relax

Driving through the rain and there is the light again.

He is the best mystery and i still cant figure him out.

this picture sucks :(

My very first piece of work for Year Of Jewelry, week 27 2007.

 

A Murano Glass Heart direct from Italy (it often pays to have a brother who's a priest) encased within an intricate wire-wrapped Copper Cage of swirls and twirls, lavishly adorned with Goldstones, Smooth Hessonite Garnet Teardrops, Smooth Carnelian, Swarovski Crystals and truckloads of Vintage Delica Seed Beads.

These guys (male and female Rainbow Lorikeets) have been playing 'catch me if you can' for months. They will sit on that stump, which is just off our top balcony, and is so close you could reach out and touch them, for 20 minutes, and longer, feeding and preening - that is until they see me with a camera.

 

Stumbled upstairs this morning, half asleep and desperate for a coffee, I think they thought they were safe :-)

 

Gotcha !! ... and at ISO1600 ... Game On ;-)

 

PS The frame is a blatant copy of very good friends idea ... mea culpa !

Read me your favourite line.

It's hard to choose a favorite book but i'm holding up one of them at least. I've read it like four times and seen both versions of the movie at least twice each. Nabokov's words are just...I can't even explain. :)

 

I had a difficult time choosing a version after playing around with a few textures and color schemes but alas, here we go!

 

Ooh it's actually quite different seen on black!

Project 365 = Day 52 = 21 Feb 2022

My office is a much loved location. Sadly, much loved by the mosquitos. They particuarly love beneath my desk where they can enjoy juicy nibbles on my legs. I seem to spend much of my days hitting myself (and missing them!), waving in front of my own face or resorting to the big weapon... "OFF!". Always a pleasing site a little mosquito knocked out on the floor and squished too for good measure!

  

Tenuous Link: To keep the bugs away

At Moorland Gate Business Park, Chorley this morning I saw this Volvo FH480, operated by MNJ Plant.

The 4X2 Volvo has a centre lift axle and is coupled to a 3 axle fixed neck low loader trailer.

On board are three Thwaites dumpers.

This intriguing plant was seen at the dentist office building this morning. #cy365 #captureyour365 #b/w Day52/365

Reflections, light play and my favourite colour - Red. Just cropped a bit.

 

2.21.2011 ~ Day 52 of 365

 

More sun today, but with it came the wind so the day actually looked much nicer from the inside than it felt outside. No President's Day off for me, so at least I got to enjoy a nice day through the windows ;)
