Working from Home

Wasn't feeling well in the morning, so I went back home for some sleep. After a good nap and lunch, I was feeling better and logged on to work from home. It so happens that I got my intervelometer today, so decided to try it out with a short time lapse of me working.

Winter Weather

When I moved to Seattle, I was told it rarely snowed. Well, for the past three years it has snowed every December. Since they are even less prepared here than in Tennessee, the roads are always a mess. In any case, at least it's a nice view out our living room window.

Birthday Candles

Can you guess how old I turned?

Eyes

Our cat Nibbler peering out of a box he got into.

Jack-o-lanterns

These are the three jack-o-lanterns that Martha and I did for Halloween.

Apple Inspiration

According to a recent study, the Apple logo is supposed to inspire creativity. So here is my attempt at being creative. I guess I probably maybe failed. Perhaps working at Microsoft makes me immune the power of the Apple logo. Actually, I think I'm not just that creative with pictures anymore (if I ever was). I used the back-light apple on the back of Martha's laptop and moved the camera around.

Happy in the Sun

When I got home from work, there was just a glimpse of sunlight on the flowers. I had to hurry to take some pictures before the sun hid behind the tall pine trees.

A Hint of Spring

A few of the tulips that we bought the other day at Pike's Market.

Fruity Art

An idea I got the other day with an apple. Just that this time, it's a plumb.

Stick Man

If I were a stick man, this is what I might look like. I've only played with light drawings once before. I acknowledge I'm not good at it, but at least it's fun. I drew the figure with the back light of my bike.

Sun Bathing

Just some flowers sitting on my porch on a sunny day.

Enjoying the sun...

Navajo Pottery

It's back to work... This is the only souvenir I got on this trip besides a few post cards and refrigerator magnets. It's a small hand carved Navajo pot that I bought in Flagstaff.

Cons

My brother's old and dirty Converse. The original sports shoe.

Mordida

Delicious ice cream sandwiches begging to be eaten.

ISO 400 | 31 mm | f/4.5 | 1/4 sec

B-ball

Nothing much going on today. With my little brother here, I had to get a basket ball. I haven't played in years...

Through the Bottom

Looking through the bottom of a glass.

ISO 400 | 32 mm | f/4.5 | 1/13 sec

Spools

Nothing interesting today, just a long day at work. Had to sew a button back on to a shirt...

Upside down

Tired of sitting all day at the office, I lay on my porch looking a the sky.

ISO 200 | 18 mm | f/8.0 | 1/250 sec

Twilight

A new Moon, Venus and other stars begin to take over the sky as the last rays of sun recede into the horizon.

ISO 100 | 19 mm | f/3.5 | 5 sec

The Final Four

I am always left with the last four pieces. I can never get them right. I used to know how to finish the cube, but I forgot the steps. Some day with a lot of spare time, I'll try to figure it out...
