This little bin I bought to help take scrapbook supplies to long distance crop. Well one day straighting up and threw the puppies blankets into it and next thing I knew there was this spotted creature in it. He now hops in there at least once a night.. 
I have to say for someone who hates birds why do they sit still for me (except the goose) and pose.
I did not realized how bad the haze was until I uploaded the pictures. I am on my mom's computer and do not have all my little programs to fix things.
this is my favorite color Ruby Red. It is my birthstone. Three generations of my family were born with a precious stone as thier birthstone. Me ->Ruby, Mom-> Diamond, Grandmother -> Emerald. The ring on the left was a gift and the ring on the right is my class ring (cool looking ain't it) The stone in the envelope is a 2.03 kt oval cut ruby and was won in a silent auction for $20. Last appraised at $300. I also have a cut garnet that is just as beautiful. So this is my Favorite Color...
I Guess this would fall in the white color palate. My favorite color is ruby red. That is hard to take a picture of.. 
Well today I accutally stayed on task. I love these bookmarks. Sometimes I put down a book and can't get right back to reading. These are so great because I can drop the book and the bookmark is still in place. My problem is that I lose them when I read in bed. They are sold at Books-a-million for about $1.50. Love them
These are on manual. I wanted to play with water droplets. So I sprayed the sunflowers and most of the kitchen to get this effect. I also played with my +4 lens and polarized lens.
This today I decided to go to the park for lunch. Picture 1 is of the ducks that I ate lunch with. May they were great. They listened to every word I said (Mostly no you would not like this cheeseburger and leave my tea alone). Yes I shared. Before heading back to the office I decided to walk to a gazebo between the two ponds. As I approach the gazebo I notice 3 geese standing in the enterance. I move to get a better view of of the trio. Well Picture 2 tells what happened next.. You guessed it.. He charged me. Yes that is an action shot. I am walking backwards away and taking the picture. Picture 3 is him showing off to his friends. Man is he proud of himself. Picture 4 is of them chattering to each other.
I am not sure what that are shot on I am just suprised they turned out at all.
This is my little man and his band aid.. Pitiful ain't he.. He swung his head and cracked his ear tip open. Put this on to keep him from coating the walls and to keep it clean.. He is just so cute...
Cody the top photo was shot on Auto.
I know I have been a little absent from this challenge but I have a really great reason.. My Mother.. On February 7th I rushed my mother to a local hospital in severe abdominal pain. After many hours of trying to get her pain under control and many test later. She was taken to a room where her roommates screamed obscenities all night. Two days later she was relocated to a new quieter room. Her former roommate was relocated next door. She was told she had inflammation of the bowel and was placed on antibiotics. Sunday night ( February 11th) she started a severe spell of vomiting and ended up with a nasogastric tube. 36 hours later she was again tube free and 24 hours later she was sporting her tube again. On Valentines day instead of getting chocolate and flowers she was getting and ultrasound and x-rays. That showed she had what they thought was a partial bowel blockage. On the 15th she had a CT that showed the physicians that something was not right. At 3pm she received a phone call from her Surgeon and he explained she needed surgery that night about 8pm. I rushed over and consoled my mother and packed her for her room change. At 8pm we strolled down to the holding room. She was taken back to surgery at 10pm. I was very thankful that I work with caring physicians. Dr. Wolk who was going home for a little rest while on call brought me a turkey sandwich, an apple and 2 bottles of water. At 1145pm her surgeon came out and talked to me. He explained that they had to remove 6 inches of her bowel at the junction between the small and large bowel. At that time he explained to me that for some reason that portion had died. She was stable and they were preparing her to take her to her room. At 1245am I watched as they rolled her down the hall to take her too her room. She was in great pain and it was very heartbreaking. I was very quick to tears, I was tired and I could not help her with her pain. By 2am she was semi settled in her new quiet private room. I went home to get some rest. The next days were long, painful and pretty much the same. She slowly was building her strength. She was slowly losing tubes. She was diagnosed with a bacteria C-Diff (very bad junk..) which meant more antibiotics and isolation. Lots of HOT BLUE YUCKY Gowns. They were slowly introducing with some substance. She almost gets home and she develops a pocket in her incision that the doctors add another antibiotic. She now a wound that has opened and has to be packed daily. After 20 days she was finally released. It has been determined that she threw a blood clot and it cut off blood supply to her bowel. This is one of the reasons for the extra days in the hospital was to get her levels stable. Two days after she was discharged I took her to her Primary Care Physician for a coumadin level. They did a finger stick and it was greatly elevated. The physician (Dr A$$) walked in and acted like she was wasting his time being there. She was weak and in tears. I went to work and immediately called and got her in with a caring and WONDERFUL new primary. This woman was so nice to her. She really listened to what mom had to say. I totally LOVE HER. I have become nursemaid. I have tried my best to keep her comfy and clean. I have tried to keep her pain and nausea free. I make sure she is tucked in at night. I feel so bad when she is so uncomfortable and weak. She has lost a least 16lbs as of last Friday. She just looks so frail.. But now it is time to get back on the task of taking pictures. I may not post everyday because I have to make some money babysitting to pay for my upcoming trip in July. I have my airfare and $500 down on the trip..
