Library

Last weekend when I went out shooting photos, I found several things that inspired me outside of my local library.

This picture of a seed pod is one of my favorite. I don’t know how I could have gotten the focus more right.

I also love the raised type of the book return slot.

I love when I find things that are solid but decaying, like this handrail with shipping paint.

Illusions

I love when I take photographs of things and the end result, without fancy editing, looks different from the actual object. It’s like magic.

I recently went driving around the city looks for things to photograph and found myself on a playground. There were rings children could swing from, but my photographs of the rings look much more sinister … more like handcuffs.

Then I took a photograph of a drinking fountain and I think it looks a little … phallic.

Fall

Because of my firm dedication to summer and hot, hot temperatures, I am not a fan of fall. But, even I have to admit that the leaves are beautiful at this time of year. Here are a few I captured at a local city park.

The Most Disgusting Thing. Ever.

Today Wonder Boy and I cleaned out our pantry because it was infested with some disgusting flying insects that had settled in and procreated all over the place. I am pretty much terrified of bugs so this was among my worst nightmares. We took every item out of the room and analyzed it to see if it had been attacked by the bugs or not. After three full trash bags, serious vacuuming and liberal use of bug spray (which was carefully cleaned up afterwards), the room is finally clean again. It will take me a while to get the visions of bugs out of my head.

Fortunately, we have the addition of a beautiful flower to lighten up the morbid feel of the room.

This was a gift from Wonder Boy. Orchids are among my favorite flowers.
There is such variety and all of them are stunning. 

And now I need to go shower because my skin is crawling and my head keeps itching as if bugs are all over me.

What I’ve Been Checking Out This Week

Here are some of the things I’ve been clicking on this week:

  • I stumbled across some directions for making your own canvas portrait. I haven’t tried it but it looks pretty cool.
  • Who isn’t a sucker for some regular cute injected into their day? These baby pictures did it for me: tiger and jaguar.
  • Looking for a good Christmas gift idea for me? I LOVE this nerdy T-shirt. Women’s extra-large please. 
  • Although I am nerdy enough to love a good CSS and HTML joke, I am not nerdy enough to want Star Wars wallpaper in my house. I will, however, admit that it is tastefully designed.
  • Finally, to leave you with a smile, I present a dancing squirrel. Yep – you read that right!
