Happiness is...

...a dirty paintbrush.

Fruit punchy

It's been a long day...and I'm feeling a little punchy, so here is what happened.

Jo found a little visitor in her shower tonight...I wonder who put it there?  (evil grin)

Study buddy

Josie, trying very hard to remember when the Erie Canal was built.  Well, actually, pretending to try to remember when the Erie Canal was built, my girl got this.  History test, watch out!

Hot stuff

Portrait inspiration

Inspired by Neil's unconventional portrait of Sarah I decided to try a self portrait with what is traditionally the most important part of a portrait, the eyes, left out.  As always there were the usual challenges with shooting ones self, so this shot is not in perfect focus.  Which made it REALLY hard to chose this one...but it was the best moment captured, the most natural (was going for how I normally sit and stare at my screen when working).  I think maybe it is good for me to branch out a little from just what makes a technically good photograph anyway.  And perhaps the soft focus is helpful when so close to a subject. 

Left behind

An incredibly creepy toy left behind by my niece Piper. 

Tonight in pictures

Twas the night before Josie's birthday...

I am the worst present wrapper in the entire galaxy.  Luckily I have this guy around.  :)
