Ready when he is

This is what little Pumpkin Lando Wiggly Pushy Moose Boy will wear when he comes home from the hospital.  Of course, he may be a bit small for it, but we'll see.  I am guessing we will be coming home on Tuesday.  Stay tuned!

Happy Parents-to-Be

We don't mind waiting a couple more weeks pumpkin.  You could use a little more meat on your bones!

So colorful

More preparations

Very hairy, not scary!

Newest toy for the pumpkin

First Day of Spring

New Hampshire Style

Beatiful blue & light

Ghostly lights in the house

For the Pumpkin

Everyone has given the Pumpkin so many nice gifts--and so many handmade ones. 

My trip outside

First time in a couple of days--but I had to go to the doctor.  As you can see, I am in the passenger seat, so I wasn't driving and taking pictures at the same time. AND--the snow is MELTING!

My current exercise routine

Back in the saddle again with picture taking.  I will have to "find" pictures that I have taken the last three days.  REALLY!  Maybe I only took them with my mind, but they exist somewhere.

A rainy day project

Here is the baby size Fez I made today.  My nesting instinct is a bit off the norm.  Brady thought it would be good to have.  We couldn't find one for sale, even on the internet, so I just made one.  Baby Boy Carlson will be very well dressed--or ready to join the Shriners.

This means spring is coming

Very granular & melting--YEAH!

Who would have thought?????

We still have one quart of tomato sauce, lots of tomatoes & three 1/2 pints of ketchup.  But salsa?  NOPE!  Guess we need to make more of that this year.

He needs more GOLD!

I have a soft spot in my heart for anything Mr. T.

Yet another Rocky Picture

Here is the Rocky when he is looking like he is thinking deep thoughts.  Not really, he is staring at the catnip container.  What a drug boy!

Knitting group is full of fun and learning!

Jo teaches everything--photography AND knitting among them.

More preparations

Monitors, tests and pills, oh my!

Rocky won't pay that much attention to the little guy arriving,  It won't be until late April, but Rocky still needs to work on it

B & W INSTANTLY!

Lines?  Low Contrast?  Whatever, now, I'm just SLEEPY

WARNING: Not for the easily offended

This is a replica of a spice bottle we saw while searching for a house in 2007.  REALLY!  Someone had gone out of their way to write up a label for their nutmeg just as it says here.  I don't understand why, but it is funny.

Signs that I see in my neighborhood, in my neigborhood

I just don't see what is so wrong about this way.

Getting better at People Shots

I wanted more of the frame, but there were too many food boxes on the table and in the way.  If only I were taller!

Spring Dreaming.......

on such a winter's day!

It DOESN'T go to 11

What can you do when you've gone all the way to 10?

A person in my picture!

One of the members of the band that will be on the Folk Show tonight--sometime in the 9 o'clock hour. 

It does seem like just yesterday

Eleven years, wow!

Outside my window

is a tree

Peace and Harmony

He is so calm and quiet

Last little crumb

This is the after picture to follow the picture from Monday night

If only this could be relief!

This may not be pretty, but then neither is what's going on in my sinuses!  (At least I am not THAT graphic!)

Fun Birthday Baking

Pacman must be hearing that song by Rockwell in his head:  "Somebody's Watching Me"  (Or maybe he changes it to "Somebody's Chasing Me")

Bright and cheery

No snow pictures toady.  Just sweet candy and bouncy balls.

Culture of Concord

A bit of Concord culture you might have missed

A bit of whimsy

The theme came from Daily Shoot.  The subjects came from my childhood.

My moon shot!

Small, but still, not as small as I thought it was going to be.

Colorful Kitchen

These were yummy to me at one point.  Now they are yummy to the worms.

A wild cat in Concord

Here is a photo for the day!  What you are seeing in the smack dab center of this photo (yes, I know, but rule of 3rds goes out the window when wildlife is involved!) is a bobcat.  In Concord, New Hampshire!  I've never seen one in the wild before and Concord isn't all that wild, but this cat was much more interesting than the Governor's budget address.

A sample of wood

 

If we do get wood floors like this, prepare yourself for many, many, many photos of the growth rings.

Ugly Snow

I love winter, but not when it is icky like this.

Goat from below

Picking today's picture was hard.  I saw too many cute animals and was harassed by geese.  What more could a photographer ask for?  (So check out my Flickr photo stream!)

Out of focus, sort of

Out of Focus for the daily shoot and out of the room for an exit.

Different perspective

http://dailyshoot.com/assignments/452

The Daily Shoot assignment for 2011/02/10:
Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.

I can't get enough of the cute clothes!

Or of cute moosies.

A red tree in the snow

A bit of photoshopping, but it was worth it to have more contrast.  The leaves were NOT this red in real life, just in my mind.

Through the glass

A framed self-portrait.  I didn't go through a looking glass, but I am looking through glass.  Does that count?

He's a shy plug

The topic of the daily shoot today was make a creative photo of  plugs.  This is just a cute looking face to me.

Berries in Winter

I always love these kind of pictures.  I LOVE them!

Culture at Pleasant View Retirement Center

This is an example of Bhutanese traditional dancing.

All right in a sort of a limited way for an off-night

Here is what I see, looking out my backdoor.

Snow Prints

Doggies have fun in the snow too!

Yellow Flowers

Dried flowers look good anytime of year, but especially NOW!  (Note, I punched up the levels and did a bit of work with the magic lasso and the cloning stamp.  Does it work?)
