In the Morning

66/365 - In the Morning

Sunrise, Routine, Breakfast.

Of course I don't get up in time to see the sun rise but before I left for work I stepped out on the front porch and got this picture. The sun is already up but its still low in the sky.

You can see that we can finally see patches of ground as the 24 inches of snow is melting.

Full Speed

65/365 - Full Speed

Fast, Moving, Action.

We took Dick Reinwald (the owner of the horses we ride) out to dinner at Talk of the Town. I was hoping to get a picture of a train going by. But of course there wasn't a train tonight. Any other time, especially if you were in a hurry or running late, there would be a train or maybe even two but not tonight.

We were driving home and I came up with this idea. I realize this look like full speed or even fast BUT the speed limit on Northgate is only 45 mph so we really were going full speed.

You may also notice that the Mountaineer has 210550 miles. It sure has been a good vehicle and I dread the day that it poops out.

This is the best I could get with such little light and slow shutter and lots of movement.

Lucky

64/365 - Lucky

Seven, Horseshoe, Rainbows.

This picture represents how lucky I am to have a job that is part time so I can spend two days a week keeping the grandkids. I have been able to stay home and keep all the kids at one time or another. When one would get old enough to go to school, there would be a new one born to take their place at Grandma's. I hope the kids feel lucky that they get to stay with Grandma instead of going to another babysitter.

This was taken in the afternoon after Blake, Grace, Gage and Maesyn left. Jentry and I made a trip to Oak Park mall and we stopped at Sonic for a treat. Jentry was lucky enough to get a slushy from Sonic.

I keep 5 right now but next year will be down to 3.

Two

63/365 - Two

1+1, Double, A Pair.

When I walked in the door from work, these two doves were sitting on the deck railing. By the time I got my camera out to take the picture they flew from the deck to the fence behind us.

Upside Down

62/365 - Upside Down

A View, Inverted, Through the Lens.

Not at all exciting except that the quilt is finished finally. It was draped over the loveseat upside down.

Whimsical

61/365 - Whimsical

Fanciful, Capricious, Dr. Seuss.

My Mom, Dad, Brian and I were riding in the car and we had just discussed the days prompt. I had no idea what I was going to photograph and was thinking it would be tough to pull this one off. Just as we headed through town, the Hamurglar was out in front of the McDonalds so Pops pulled in the parking lot for me to get my pic of the day.

Sweet Rest

60/365 - Sweet Rest

Dreams, Bedtime, Eyes Closed.

I'm stretching the prompt again. Not sure many people can relate but this really is sweet rest for my Mom and Dad. It was opening day of trout fishing at Roaring River and my brother has what he calls a Redneck Holiday out at his property. There is always a big crowd. It was cold and snowy this year so everyone pretty much stood around the big fire pit. Pops and Granny were the only ones that got chairs and were able to sit for the afternoon. They were able to sit, rest and visit with all the people.
