Green Tomatoes
Wow- day #200's post! (A minor milestone.) My daughter talked me into purchasing these tomato seedlings, and she's growing them (quite well, I might add) in a pot on our deck. It won't be long now! Now just 165 more posts to go!Sunday, July 18, 2010
Garage
The second benchmark in painting our house. Last week it was the porch that came to fruition. Today it was our garage and shop. The blue is more wedgewood than it appears here, but we do like it!Saturday, July 17, 2010

This Old House
We are painting our house this summer for the first time in 13 years. Little by little it is getting finished. This afternoon the screened-in porch "came back online". Now to grab the two books I'm working on this summer... and a cold iced coffee!Thursday, July 15, 2010
More Fungus Among Us
This mushroom seemed to spring up overnight. Don't think I'd be eating this one!Wednesday, July 14, 2010
Bumblebee
I have no idea what type of flowering bush this is, but the bees were loving it this afternoon when I shot this bumblebee. I couldn't believe all the pollen on this guy's legs!Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Safety
Took a drive to a local town landing this evening. Had hoped to get a cool shot of a sailboat sitting in the fog. Instead I found low tide... and no fog. Plan B- I found some curious objects about the dock to shoot. As I posted them it occurred to me that both the life preservers and cleat are responsible for keeping boaters (and their boats) safe, giving me not only shots, but a theme to boot! Plan B can be a very good thing!Sunday, July 11, 2010
Pump
Our house is over 125 years old. In our front yard sits this pump atop the well that likely provided the house's occupants with water. It actually still works, although we haven't used it regularly in years. I love the words "Modern Ironworks" in the second macro shot. Seems so ironic! Makes me reflect on the challenges that those who came before endured, versus the luxuries we are presented with today. How times have changed!Saturday, July 10, 2010

Daisy, Daisy
Daisies are such simple flowers, yet so beautiful. Hope that these stick around for a while in my garden!Tuesday, July 6, 2010

For Sale
My car is ready for sale. It's clean and shiny, and I hope will sell soon so I can start bargaining on a replacement!Sunday, July 4, 2010
Grasshopper
While back at the lake today I caught several shots of this grasshopper. When I viewed this shot, the first thing I thought was that it looks like it was taken in a disco or something! In reality, it was a lucky shot of the critter on my daughter's pink inflatable water mattress. Still pretty wild, though!Saturday, July 3, 2010
Fresh Blueberries
The wacky weather this year has had an awesome effect on my blueberry bushes. Won't be long now!Friday, July 2, 2010
Hello! Anyone Home?
I was working at my computer this morning, and kept hearing what seemed like scratching on the screen behind me. Turned around to find Graham experimenting with the staging set up to paint the house. Clearly he has found the benefit in getting our attention. If he'd just pick up a paintbrush too!Thursday, July 1, 2010
Orange Lily
Honestly... I really am trying to shoot subjects other than flowers! They are so hard to resist, though!
