Day 119/365 - The Grandma Dolls Live

I was cleaning out some old boxes that we just never unpacked from the early days of living in this house. You know you have those boxes too :P

These dolls were made by my Grandmother probably about 25+ years ago. She would get some socks and stuff them, make the normal features of a person like arms legs, eyes, noses etc. We called them "The GrandMa Doll". She would even attach a tag that says "Made with love by: GRANDMA" It's funny because my Grandpa could never find a matching pair of sock. ;)

Day 118/365 - Pandora (not the music player)

Here is a photo of my wife's brand new piece of bling called a Pandora Bracelet. This is the new fad nowadays where you can buy charms or beads to put on and interchange. This was one of my wife's birthday presents, although she deserves a lot more.

Maybe there is a bead that is a mini speaker and wifi connection where you can play music from Pandora internet radio. I call trademark if it doesn't already exist as of today.

Day 117/365 - Birthday Cake

Here is a photo of the top of my wife's birthday cake that we had at my parents house. The iPhone was so close to the cake I could feel my iPhone's glass starting to heat up.

Here is a little baby robin that allowed me to get closer than normal. So I took the shot.

Day 115/365 - My Keyboard Photo with the iPhone

It seems that the iPhone is a better photographer than me. If you remember a while back I tried to take a photo of this same keyboard but it came out looking all blurry. Although it looked cool, it wasn't what I was trying for.

Day 114/365 - Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. Here is a photo I took of local power lines when visiting my wife's family. I added some tinting to make it more Eastery.

Day 113/365 - White Chocolate

I took this photo when we went to see the Easter Bunny with the kids at Hebert's Candy Mansion in Shrewsbury Massachusetts. I don't know the girl in the reflection, but this was the perfect angle. And guess what, it was a total mistake. I didn't even see her in the view finder on my camera. I was just shooting the chocolate. So this goes to show that sometimes a good shot is completely by mistake and that you should always look through all your shots.

Day 112/365 - The Blooming Hyacinth

I love the color of this plant. I took many shots but this one stood out because I could visualize this in a gardening magazine or some other publication. Let me know what you think.

Day 111/365 - Lens Flare Experiment

In this photo, I was experimenting with lens flare. Most people would say lens flare is a mistake, but I think with the right eye and imagination you can do really neat things with it. Tell me what you think. If you have your own examples of lens flare, please share.

Day 110/365 - Jenna and Daddy

We took the kids to Chuck E' Cheese today in celebration of my wife's birthday. I took a photo of me and Jenna with my iPhone's front facing camera which turned out very grainy. With a little help from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, I was able to make the photo look pretty decent. Let me know what you think.

Day 109/365 - Where The Heck Is The Bat Pole?

I found this Robin supervising it's offspring while they gathered twigs for their nest. Even this daddy can get his children working. What am I doing wrong? I refuse to feed my kids like they do however.

Day 108/365 - RC Jumping

My son and I have started a new hobby. It is remote controlled truck racing. In this photo, the truck is jumped by Ryan, 7 years old and the photo was taken by me. It was a great jump with only one shot taken. Not the clearest picture, but then again, the jump was spectacular.

Day 107/365 - Mostly Cloudy

Today there were a lot of neat looking clouds. When I was a kid I would look at the clouds and try to figure out what they look like. I could always match them with something in my mind. What does this one look like to you?

Day 106/365 - Pre-Bloomed Tulips

I took this photo the other day with my iPhone. I figured I get some shots of plants right before they bloom. I will take another shot of this one when it blooms fully.

Day 105/365 - The Pondering Duck

Take a look at this lucky duck! He seems to be pondering something. Maybe you can help me figure out what the duck (WTD) this duck is thinking.

Day 104/365 - 5, 6, Pick Up Sticks

My kids saw me go outside with my camera, so they decided to build something out of sticks. I'm not sure what it is, if you can help me figure that out, I would appreciate it.

Day 102/365 - That's My Boy!

This afternoon, my sons Cub Scout Pack (Pack 70 of Worcester Massachusetts) learned how to use a compass during a hike. From the photo you may notice my son wearing one work glove. Although he has some great moves, he is not taking after the late King Of Pop. The scouts were tasked to clean up trash that they found in the conservation land. There was a lot of paper, wrappers, cans, and all kinds of other trash items that made me kind of disgusted. My son loved cleaning up the environment. He made me proud today. From this photo, you can see that he was proud as well.

Way to go buddy!

Day 101 - Spring Has Sprung

Today was the first true day of Spring. The temp was in the low to mid 70's and it was so nice. There isn't any nice landscapes to photograph yet, but it's only a matter of time. So I took a photo of this little guy marking today April 11, 2011 the first true day of Spring.

Day 100/365 - Sliders

Do these rolls look familiar? If not, see the Day 93 photo. We had these sliders for dinner today and they were delicious. Photo taken with the iPhone 4.

Day 99/365 - Waning Crescent

I am preparing for the next full moon which is on April 19. It's going to be a fun photoshoot! Tonight was a Waning Crescent Moon which I actually took right before dusk and adjusted the exposure with some post processing. It's not a perfect photo, but I am learning which is the most important part of this project.

Day 98/365 - Wow, What A Pane NewPro!

Today was the day. The day we said goodbye to the crappy broken living room windows the developer gave us back in 1998 (when we built this house) and hello to this beautiful picture window. The two installers for NewPro were awesome! I was impressed that they showed up on time, they cleaned up and were generally nice people that knew what they were doing.

Do you have NewPro windows? Let me know how you like them.

Thank you NewPro!

Day 97/365 - Standing In The Shadow

Today was a very bright day out. A lot of sun was coming through our front windows. So I decided to do a shadow shot. Let me know what you think.

Day 96/365 - Fan Lights

I was messing around with manual camera settings and I came up with this shot. I am no pro when it comes to the manual settings, so I plan on making a lot of mistakes. I will master this thing. You will notice that the shot is a little grainy. That part is not a mistake. As PeeWee Herman used to say "I meant to do that".

Day 95/365 - What's Cooking?

My wife amazes me sometimes. She felt sick all day and still had the energy to cook me this awesome dinner after I finished work today. This meat is wrapped in bacon and came with a side of cheese covered potatoes. Might not be the healthiest dinner, but it was so delicious!

Day 94/365 - Variety of Bandages

When you have kids it's 100% necessary to have bandages of all shapes, sizes, colors and patterns. The only problem is when the adults need to cover an ouchy or a booboo we are usually stuck with something like these. I think I actually had a Dora The Explorer bandage on at one point.

Day 93/365 - Please Pass The Dinner Rolls

These are some very yummy dinner rolls. They are great to make slider sandwiches or to compliment a great meal. Picked them up at our local BJ's wholesalers. I love their bakery. They are called Crusty Rolls.

Day 92/365 - Stream

While at my sons Cub Scout weekend at Treasure Valley Scouting Resort, him and I went for a hike. He pointed out things to take a photo of. He has good eyes when it comes to this type of art. Let me know what you think.

Day 91/365 - Rock On!

Here are some more pieces of art my daughter created out of the rocks she brings home. Pretty soon I'll have enough rocks in my house to start a quarry. I'm thankful that I don't live in a glass house. That might be a pane! Ok no more jokes. Enjoy the photo.
