Blue Sky 57:365

The only blue sky I saw all day.  Boy, does my house need to be painted... 

Cold 56:365

A shot of City Park and Canfield Mountain.  It snowed again.  I'm about sick of it.

Amen 55:365

If you ask me, it looks like Loki's praying. 

She was sleeping on top of the laptop, but I wasn't quick enough to capture that.

Big Sky 54:365

A view of today's sky, taken from what may become my new favorite place. 

Flowers in Winter 53:365

A photograph of an oil painting, converted to watercolor in Photoshop Elements.  A welcome bit of color in one of the paintings currently hanging in the gallery at Hayden City Hall.

February Snow 52:365

It's not looking so much like March now...

Capones Pub & Grill 51:365

Coming soon to my neighborhood!

QWERTY 50:365

Today's post is brought to you by the letter "Q" and the number "2".

Angel Eyes 49:365

But any time you like
You can catch a sight of angel eyes all emptiness and infinite.

And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
I see God upon the ceiling I see angels overhead
And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand.
                     ~When I Dream of Michelangelo, Counting Crows

Tubbs Hill Panorama 48:365

My favorite shot of the day - a two shot landscape panorama, hand-held.  I'd already taken a nine shot portrait panorama of the whole lake on my tripod.  It turned out nice, but the light wasn't great.  I had put my camera away and was breaking down my tripod when Scott said "Oh, wow.  Look at the resort.  It's all lit up."  So I pulled my camera back out & shot two, quick shots of the resort and Tubbs Hill with all that gorgeous light.

Alaskan Watercolor 47:365

This hangs on the wall in my living room.  Just one of the many things that make me want to see Alaska for myself. 

Play Doh 46:365

The girls spent the night with Grandma & Grandpa.  One of the things we did was play with play doh - such fun! 

I wish you could see the histogram on this photo.  It's as pretty as the picture.

Cat's Ear 45:365

A cat's ear for Valentine's Day. 

The Long Way Home 44:365

I took the long way home to get a shot of the fantastic sunset.  It was totally worth it.

Looks Like March 43:365

Feels like it, too.

A Wee Gnome 42:365

A wee little gnome, and one of the painting projects I'm most proud of.

Overlook Panorama 41:365

Panorama from the overlook just south of Rose Lake on Highway 3.  My first attempt at a panorama with my DSLR and Photoshop Elements Photomerge.  Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty slick.  My next trick - assuming we can get some decent weather here next weekend - will be HDR with Photomatix.  Stay tuned...

Blue Bee Paratrooper 40:365

I ran to the lake and back this morning with Scott.  I was lucky enough to spot this guy laying in the road.  He is too cute!

Sea Hags 39:365

The Sea Hags from Accounting.  :-)  Ladies night out - good food & great friends!

Broken Heart 38:365

Another from my heart-shaped rock collection.

Angry Sky 37:365

The skies have been awesome the last couple of days.  I've just had a hard time getting somewhere to get a picture of them.  This is from my back fence, with the neighbor's field cropped out.  I've also been playing with (and loving) my new software: Lightroom 4.  If I can get out this weekend and get some decent landscape shots, it will be wonderful.

See Hear Speak No Evil 36:365

It's been very dreary here, so this was shot indoors.  I couldn't get the turtles sharp without the flash, but I don't like the shadow it cast.  I'll try again tomorrow, maybe with a diffuser.  Cute little guys, aren't they?

Welcome 35:365

This is hanging on the wall above my desk in my temporary home.  Some days I feel more welcome than others.

Game Day 34:365

Taco soup from Super Bowl Sunday.  My team didn't win, but at least it was an exciting game.

Yawp & Howl 33:365

This was my reward for running the 1st Annual Yawp & Howl Winter 5K.  Pretty sweet!  And I managed a personal best, running it in 32:08.  I owe that to Scott, who ran the whole race with me and made me run fast.  Thanks, honey!

Western Sky 32:365

This was the scene in the western sky at 4:45 p.m. tonight.  Absolutely beautiful, and not for the colors, but for the simple fact that I could still see the sun at 4:45 p.m. 

Pizza Art 31:365

Last night's dinner.  Now that's colorful!
