Abstract glass -day30

This is the textured glass in our sidelight window. A little playing with the angle gives a sort of abstract landscape. See it? See, right there?

Round 'n round -day 29

Dan was working on his bike so I was inspired to try to capture some gear/motion thing. Took a LOT of shots & most were unsuccessful. This was the best of the lot.

Ping Pong - day28

Dan and I played a few rousing games of ping pong this afternoon since it was rainy and cold. We intended to go to the International District for Chinese New Year celebrations, but the weather won. So instead of cool pictures of a Chinese dragon, you get this! It is a photographic journey of this year of our life, after all.

Oops -day 27

Oops I did it again .... forgot to post my shot here. Took the uninspired shot. Remembered flickr. Forgot here. It was so boring I played around with adjustments and texture layers to try to improve it. Marginal improvement.....

Foggy - day26

REALLY foggy here this morning and when I went to the mailbox I spotted my perfect shot of the day!

Knothole -day25

Took this yesterday but forgot to post it here. A knothole on the deck.....

Playground Spiral -day24

On my photo walk today I passed a playground and tried a bunch of shots. I always like finding the abstract in the everday. I'm reaping an unexpected benefit from the photo/day project - I'm heading outside (fresh air), taking walks (exercise), learning the neighborhood and getting away from my computer every day or 2. Excellent!

Vase Reflection -day23

After I cleaned the vase and the table top, the reflection looked pretty good!

Rock & Roll -day 22

Dan's kept all our personalized plates for years and years. Here's his faves.

Park Bench -day 21

After a drizzly morning, a park bench abstraction......

GOAL - day 20

I will eat better this year. I will eat better this year. I will eat........

I'm feeling uninspired but don't want to lose momentum so this was what I saw when I look up from my desk - which is where I live. Even a boring lamp can become quasi interesting.

Olympics - day18

Off the back deck catching the east sun warming the trees - our peek-a-boo view of the Olympics was crisp and clear this morning.

Winter Brews -day17

Restocked the fridge with some new things for Dan & Eric to try.

Branch on Red -day15 & 16

A neighborhood walk found me noticing this branch tangled in another branch and balanced perfectly in front of the fence. I included 2 to make up for one of my first of the month missed days.

Tigger - day 14

The boys were here all day, we played games and I got busy and forgot about my photos. This was a last minute easy subject shot to fill the quota. Might be seeing a few more of these now and then.........

Intrusion -day 13

On my neighborhood walk I spotted this cart shoved into the bushes - so out of place and a long way from a grocery store (the Big Lots is actually a couple miles away!). I liked the red against green, cart against bushes, urban against nature.

Lichen Branch -day12

More rain but I ventured out today anyway. Trees in Seattle are SO cool with all the mossy, lichen stuff everywhere. Great texture.

Pear Trio -day 11

I certainly have lighting/shadow issues though I got the focus figured out. Liked the juxtaposition of textures here but need to work on eliminating those weird lighting shadows.

Yum -day 10

Today is the first day of a "kitchen" theme. I took pic after pic of pears - groupings, singles, bright light, dim light, in focus, out of focus. Didn't like 'em. Cut one and tried some combos of that then had the idea of trying a slow shutter speed and showing my hand taking the pear for a bite. While not perfect, it's the best of the day.
