The sun sets on another busy, busy day. I'm glad to see Friday in the rearview mirror.

Six

Six in the morning.

Six at night.

And an anchor, with no reference to six at all.

Not one of my best

I had a busy day at work yesterday, then a fountain to deliver and set up at my "second" job. The light was fading fast as we pulled back in to the yard and I realized I hadn't taken a single photo all day. Imagine my surprise when I pulled out my Nikon and the battery was dead! So this was taken with the Pentax in less than ideal conditions. Not one of my best.

Car climbs power pole...

... or "why you should ALWAYS have your camera with you!"

I wasn’t there to see how it got there, but I was there to see them bring it down.

Storm's Coming

The sky on my way back to work after lunch.

And when I first arrived home for lunch.

The storm is coming.

Spring



If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant;
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,
prosperity would not be so welcome.

Water Feature

United Pump's fountain.

I took this photo last July.
I'd been thinking a lot about it, the last month or so.
One of the photography forums I follow had a plane photo contest.
It would have been a good entry, but it had to be a current photo.
I looked thru the history on this blog and couldn't find it.
I looked thru my photos on Flickr and couldn't find it.
Then I got to wondering why this wasn't a photo of the day.
It's such a cool photo - the plane flew right overhead.

It was those pesky hummingbirds.
This should have beat the hummingbirds.

All things Celtic

In honor of St. Patrick's Day...
Our Celtic cross.

My Celtic Knot ring - a gift from Scott at Christmas.

I am home sick with the flu today
so everyone raise a glass of green beer for me.

Moss

Moss on the water meter.

And blooming crocus.

Golden

I took some photos on our walk.
Weeds by the side of the road.
Sunset through the trees.

And Tank. The cutest dog in the world.
All golden.

Lizard

The lizard above my closet.
This is what happens when I realize late at night
that I haven't taken a photo.

Wires

Is it any wonder I curse the wires in
each and every photo I take from my house?

Mom's Bible

The one thing I wanted
when they cleaned out my Mom's house was her Bible.
I knew she had one or two -
turned out she had six!
But this was obviously the one she used.
She's underlined passages in red and yellow pencil,
just like my Grandma did.
But the biggest surprise
came when I looked at the front cover.
That's my name, embossed in gold
in the lower right hand corner.
She was using my Bible all this time.
That makes me happy.

There's hope for spring....

Spiderman

Just before I left on vacation,
they made me the webmaster
(I prefer webmistress) at work.
A friend from work brought this back
from her trip to Hawaii.
She found it on the beach and thought of me.
It makes me laugh.

Home thru Montana

Scott at Grasshopper Creek. :-)

The creek at Rocker.

You know you're in Montana when you see
buffalo grazing by the side of the road.
Home again, safe & sound.

Frozen Utah Lake

Seen on the drive back to Salt Lake.
Day eight of vacation
and it's quickly coming to a close.

I am outta here!

The birds were swarming the feeder.
I managed to catch this guy just as he was leaving.
It was the most interesting shot of the day.
Which was day seven of vacation.

Desert Sunset

Through the cactus.

And another shot of the mountains from earlier in the day.

Gorgeous.
