The Boy is a great dog but he has to play second fiddle to our precious great-niece when she visits. So when she is here, well he gets sad eyes as is to say “What have you done?” Then he gets happy as she throws food on the floor and he gets to clean up after her…….stinking dog! Love that face.
The photo here is one I took Saturday night at a little art gallery/pub. I worked all day and met The Bride and some friends for dinner and after a little walkabout our hometown’s small downtown. After that we stopped by to cap off our night with some live music and coffee. The photo is unedited and I find it to have, like the music, a mellow vibe.
I first posted this shot as a B&W and was looking at it again today in its original form. I think I will have to go across that bridge soon and see where somewhere else is…….
A few post ago I showed off my favorite cup. Where it fits me well this one does not but on its coolness factor alone it is now my second favorite cup. Cheers!
Yesterday before going to Thanksgiving I tried to capture some of the snow and icicles as the melted. As I was coming back in I thought I need to take pics of stuff around our house. Since the green and blooming things are not around that will be my challenge once a week. If you feel you can play along as well. Here is this weeks Around The Place Challenge: My Kicks. Other than the text it is an as shot capture.
I was trying to capture the water droplets as this small icicle melted. I was either to slow or to fast even if I did wait for it.
The Bride and I went to a festival last month where a bunch of vendors come to pawn their wares. Among the many stalls of pre-fab and china produced “stuff” was some very nice hand-made crafts. The pens here are an example of such things. I took this with my iPod but thought it was pretty cool even though they are a little to bedazzled for my taste.
This is my Teddy Bear. We rescued him back in 05′ and he was a scrawny little kitten with a very serious respiratory infection. I had to teach him how to be a kitten since his momma was not around. I had to show him how to use the litter box…………no I did not do that but I would put him in it when he looked like his little legs were crossing. After he did his “business” I grabbed his front paws and showed him how to cover up. After the second time he was fully trained. There was me teaching him how to feed from a bottle so I could get him to take his meds. He recovered well and other than a problem with left ear he is fat, sassy and happy. So everyone meet my Teddy Bear!
As the silly season quickly approaches we in the Thrift Shop biz have our version of Black Friday. At our shop this is the biggest fundraising day for us. Since we are part of a non-profit it is especially helpful to us and our mission. I take pictures of the setup, and of the big sales day, to help us promote it for next year and hopefully drive up donations of goods to the shop….also it help us remember how we set it up since we are brain-dead by the end of the day. One of the items that are donated I enjoy is the snow globes. It harkens back to my youth I guess but none the less I find them to be a simple pleasure and one that is hard to photograph. Here is a bear in a Santa suit inside the globe.
This is our youngest cat Julie. I call her Jewels’ because she is quite preciousness and she trills instead of meowing, it is a soothing sound and very cool besides. I wrote a short poem about her and her mother Butterfly back in 12′.

Brought Gift Of Same
A Little Triller”

Here she is grown up and all. Julie, aka Jewels’
