Project 365 - A Year of Randomness

Beautiful fall day

2010-10-01T15:27:00.001-04:00

I just love taking pictures of fall! The colors, the bright blue sky, its all very inspiring to me. I've been quite sick for a few weeks...so I'll post photos when I can. This is my world through my Droid.

Kate and Jocko...this kitten is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I wish he would stay this size,but I'm sure he'll still be cute when hes grown up. its been fun raising kittens, but I'm still not sorry that we wont be doing it again.

Photo for September 10

2010-09-10T16:52:00.001-04:00

ply feels I love this tree, the chestnuts are quite photogenic. it really feels like fall today. I guess that's good, it was a really hot summer. so today's photo is a chestnut against the pretty blue fall sky. tomorrow Kate has a craft show in colden, I hope she makes a ton of money. she has been sick with a sore throat and fever. but she is feeling better now. so, until next time!

And the randomness will pick up here...

2010-09-07T17:34:00.001-04:00

I'm gonna do this on the go now! now that I'm comfortable with this droid I'm gonna pick up where i left off, only later. a photo a day is the goal...should be easy with this phone...and fun. I'm starting off with a photo of flowers because my other favorite subject (Kate) is sick in bed with a fever and a photo wouldn't go over big right now.

Don't smile Matthew, whatever you do...don't smile. Yay I'm all caught up with my photos! Oh not for long with another trip to Pittsburgh this weekend and then going to Georgia next week. Oh well I'll give it a try.

February 25, 2009

2009-02-26T21:02:00.000-05:00

Caught! She knows she's not supposed to get up there, but she does it anyway. She tried to get away from me when she saw the camera, but I was faster than her this time. Oh Kate.....look what is going on when you're off at school!

February 24, 2009

2009-02-26T21:01:00.002-05:00

Yep I cheated again. This is right in front of Kate's apartment building.

February 23, 2009

2009-02-26T20:59:00.001-05:00

Another shot taken driving down the road, there seem to be a lot of them. This was actually taken on Friday when I drove to Pittsburgh, but it is the photo of the day for this day because I didn't have another. Cheated!

February 22, 2009

2009-02-26T20:58:00.001-05:00

Pennsylvania sunset. This shot was taken driving home, full speed. Shouldn't do that I guess, lol.

February 21, 2009

2009-02-26T20:56:00.003-05:00

This is the street that Kate's school is on. I went and spent the weekend with her because she was so homesick. I didn't take very many photos but I did like this one. She is getting used to it there, and I'm so happy for her.

February 20, 2009

2009-02-26T20:55:00.001-05:00

Jeremy you're a goof! Even though he can't see with these on he is cute, and I'm pretty sure he knows it :)

Driving down the road, shot of the rear-view-mirror.

A Boy and a Bubble

2009-02-19T15:29:00.003-05:00

This was taken last summer, and I've entered it in a contest. So....keeping fingers crossed!

February 18, 2009

2009-02-18T17:21:00.000-05:00

Old barn and one cow. Wow.

February 17, 2009

2009-02-18T00:50:00.003-05:00

This school is amazing! I'm so happy she is there. I'm gonna do a mini photo-journal of the day we moved her down there, but not today...I'm tired. But I'm caught up here!! Yay!

February 16, 2009

2009-02-18T00:48:00.002-05:00

"I'm packing myself now....is this the box you want me in??" Poor Ambrosia...it's gonna be hard for her to get used to Kate being gone, and the other way around.

February 15, 2009

2009-02-18T00:47:00.004-05:00

Just a little break from packing so I could get a couple of shots.....she was so stressed out about getting everything done that I can't believe she stopped and smiled for me. But....she's my hero.

February 14, 2009

2009-02-18T00:45:00.003-05:00

Happy Valentine's Day! We celebrated Amber's birthday....she's 22. Naturally Cayden handled the blowing out of the candles for her...what are daughters for!

February 13, 2009

2009-02-18T00:43:00.003-05:00

Cheyanne is a fool when she's out playing in the snow. I have a whole series of photos of her in the strangest poses, maybe I'll put them all together in a storyboard sequence and put them here. Some of them are hilarious!

February 12, 2009

2009-02-18T00:41:00.003-05:00

I'm envious of anyone who has taken beautiful photos of birds. They are hard little critters to capture on film!! I chased this guy for a while, glad I had my zoom lens on!

February 11, 2009

2009-02-12T00:29:00.001-05:00

Ambrosia, just sitting in the window looking innocent....she is far from that! She was actually sitting by the window and trying to figure out how to get ahold of the little birds that live in the awning.

February 10, 2009

2009-02-12T00:25:00.002-05:00

Here is the view I have of Matthew a lot of the time....playing World of Warcraft. Actually I have this same view of him, Jeremy, Kate and John....since they are all WOWheads. And Sue too, although I don't actually see her all the time. Oh well, keeps them all off the streets.

February 9, 2009

2009-02-09T22:25:00.000-05:00

Here's Gramma....and Cheyanne...who is so spoiled because of Gramma...

February 8, 2009

2009-02-09T22:24:00.003-05:00

99% perfect and 101.5 degrees! Poor kid, he was sick!

2009-02-09T22:21:00.003-05:00

Today Annie, the orphan chinchilla found wandering around the basement, is a month old. She isn't very big, and Jeremy still loves her and spends quite a bit of time playing with her. I'm glad she made it :)

February 5, 2009

2009-02-07T22:05:00.001-05:00

Cayden loves to brush her teeth! She sleeps over here with Gramma and Grampa whenever she possibly can, and we love it!

Randomness that I don't want to miss

2009-02-04T20:28:00.003-05:00

I guess I'll have to throw one of these posts in every now and then for photos that I don't want left out completely. I don't know, I'm making up the rules as I go along here, in my state of feverishness, lol.

February 4, 2009

2009-02-04T20:21:00.002-05:00

Went to the doctor today, I've got bronchitis, and have been quite hoarse for the last two weeks. Doctor told me to rest my voice completely, I imagine I've damaged my vocal cords....just can't shut up. Took photo of the tree outside the doctor's office, these trees were quite damaged a couple of years ago in the winter.

February 3, 2009

2009-02-04T20:14:00.004-05:00

Here's the pool, lol! Guess there's gonna be a lot more winter no matter what the rodents say.

Katelyn and Cayden, sitting on the couch, I just wonder what they were talking about!

February 2, 2009

2009-02-04T20:11:00.003-05:00

Jeremy is just plain goofy, goofy and silly! He spends a lot of time playing with the dog, the cats, he is pure 13-year old boy energy!

Also I have a photo of Kate's teapot today, I had to include this one in my randomness.

February 1, 2009

2009-02-04T19:43:00.008-05:00

Yay! I'm on my second month! So...here's to another month!

Okay...so this month I want to make sure I focus more on photos of my kids, although sometimes that's hard. Kate is a goofball....here she has carrots in her mouth and thinks she's real funny

Matthew will not, absolutely not, smile for me for a photo, that's if I can get him to let me take it at all. He gave Cheyanne a bath today because she smelled really bad! Thanks Matt!

January 31, 2009

2009-02-02T17:06:00.002-05:00

Well, one month down, and I've managed to keep up! This is a fun project, but I fear that I will soon be out of hard drive space....gonna have to start weeding out some of these photos, I have a lot of blurry ones, and ones that I should just delete. Putting that on the to-do-list, haha. Anyway, here's my photo for today, it's Jeremy and Cinders....in bed watching cartoons. This cat just loves my boys, she gets crazy if she can't get in there to hang out with them.

January 30 2009

2009-01-31T14:17:00.002-05:00

Jeremy's Stewie slippers...for any of you who have never watched Family Guy...well this baby is one of the most foul-mouthed things ever to come along. And the show....well it has educated my kids in a way that maybe they didn't need to be educated. But I have to admit it's hilarious. So Jeremy got the slippers and he's very happy....he sleeps with them.

January 29, 2009

2009-01-31T14:08:00.002-05:00

A very sad day here in Boston....the Boston Hotel burned down. Well actually it's still standing, because it is a brick building...but it's gutted and they've got it boarded up. It was quite a fire. This is the second building that was on the site. It burned once in the early 1900's and they rebuilt...and it's been there since then. It was a landmark, and everybody from miles and miles around would come here for clams...they had clams cheap on Monday's, and wings. And this is where you could get filet mignon to die for! So...RIP for now Boston Hotel.

January 28, 2009

2009-01-28T20:10:00.003-05:00

New profile pic for me. I haven't updated my photos since I cut my hair, which needs to be cut again. But it doesn't matter really because any photo of me has a distracting black contraption in the middle of my face anyway, lol.

January 27, 2009

2009-01-28T19:56:00.003-05:00

Here is my cute little dog...actually she's as wide as she is tall lately! Her gramma feeds her way too much junk, yikes she's spoiled! But at least she sits very pretty before getting treats that she shouldn't be having!

January 26, 2009

2009-01-28T19:45:00.002-05:00

We made homemade pizzas for dinner, yum! We get all kinds of different toppings. The kids made individual pizzas, I'm pretty sure Barb and Cheyanne shared one, but we were all happy and full!

January 25, 2009

2009-01-25T18:58:00.002-05:00

I was outside yesterday to snap a few shots, and there is nothing to take photos of here at this time of year...so I ended up with this! And since my main focus for this project is to learn how to use my camera in Manual mode, this works!

January 24, 2009

2009-01-25T18:55:00.003-05:00

Just another random shot of a candle....although I think this one is the best one I've done so far. And gotta love Tink's silhouette!

January 23, 2009

2009-01-25T18:53:00.004-05:00

This is my first photo ever shot in RAW mode. And after fooling around with the image just a little I can see why people love it!

January 22, 2009

2009-01-25T18:43:00.006-05:00

Well I decided to add another photo from Jan. 22 because Cayden took that one, and I didn't want this shot left out of my book. It's just the side of the house and the icicles, nothing exciting, but here it is :)

Self-portrait....actually Cayden took this picture, and I like it better than the ones I took of myself, lol. We were having fun taking pictures of each other.

January 21, 2009

2009-01-21T19:10:00.003-05:00

Keeping on schedule here....today I'm actually posting today's photo TODAY! Wow, I'm liking this project! I do spend a lot of time that I don't have looking at everybody's photos, I just love looking at photos! So...today's photo is totally random, just the kitchen table and window looking out onto the porch and into the yard. I just liked it, I don't know why.

January 20, 2009

2009-01-20T23:38:00.003-05:00

Jackson the lap dog....uhh I don't think so.

January 19, 2009

2009-01-20T23:37:00.004-05:00

I got this pillow for the couch, well Cheyanne decided it's hers. Oh well, win some and lose some :)

January 18, 2009

2009-01-20T21:57:00.000-05:00

Jeremy is taking care of this baby chinchilla. She was found wandering around in the basement, apparently she escaped from the cage shortly after she was born. We figured out which one was her mother and put her back, but she doesn't seem to be doing as well as we would like, so Jeremy is feeding her with a bottle. He really loves this baby :)

January 17, 2009

2009-01-20T21:46:00.000-05:00

Here's the photo for Jan. 17. I made this perpetual calendar years ago, back when I was doing my cutting wood and painting everything. I made pieces for every holiday or occasion you can think of, and we've never lost any of them.

Then I edited the photo of Kate from the 14th, it was really kind of flat...so I did a sepia tone. I can't wait to take the class on post-processing from Michelle Pearson.

January 16, 2009

2009-01-20T21:43:00.001-05:00

Well I guess this one kind of speaks for itself, lol. John and Kate and Matt have all had this terrible cold/flu. Now I'm coming down with it. Jeremy wants to get it so he can stay home from school, but he informed me that he doesn't get sick because he laughs all the time and that keeps him healthy. That's 13-year old logic for you. Funny though, there might just be something to it....I know it's not a healthy diet that keeps him healthy :)

January 15, 2009

2009-01-20T21:40:00.001-05:00

Rock Band 2 for the PS3....the kids have so much fun with this game! These drums are so annoying though...oh well. This winter is brutal, so they are spending very little time outside and a lot of time inside. This is one of their favorite things to do right now.

Working on 365

2009-01-18T21:16:00.000-05:00

Wow, I'm doing okay with this thing! I've got some layouts done, and have all my photos taken up to now. Not all are uploaded, but I'm working on it. I'm trying to figure out how to post the photos with frames, but easily so it's not gonna be a big deal, then I won't do it. (guess I know myself better than I thought, lol). Oh and I've been sucked into the Facebook thing. I guess it's pretty cool...good way to keep in touch with people. We'll see, I get bored with these things, like MySpace...so, we'll see. So here's my test photo, one that's already posted, but oh well. I'll post my other daily photos in a little bit.

Ambrosia and Cheyanne have a lot of fun playing, although she would rather be playing fetch (the cat that is)

Okay now to get caught up....

2009-01-15T06:32:00.000-05:00

I'm really gonna make an effort here....so I gotta get all these photos posted. These are January 1, 2 and 3 2009. I guess I have a thing about photos of lights, lol.

Project 365 - I've started!!

2009-01-14T18:25:00.001-05:00

I'm gonna get my photos ready and post them.
