I like pie too!!

I have begun to take photos of many assorted things through the day as they present themselves, never knowing if anything really good will come of my efforts, or if anything better will come along. (That is why you get bubble gum chewing birds.)

So many days when evening comes along, I am sorting through lots and lots of bad pictures hoping for something to post.

For that reason I say to you...don't judge me that my picture today is of my hair color chemical mixing.

I mean, when I took the camera out to record this, I felt certain nothing else good would come along and I needed something to post!!!


You may wonder... why post it if you have taken photos of other things?
Well, why not? I have taken the time to take 'em, why not post 'em, strange as they may be.
And, I also thought...what if I like this hair color and can't remember what I bought, then I will have this image to remind me.
And I do like it. It is subtle and most people probably won't notice the change, but I do and I feel so much better about this color situation. Whew!


I headed outside today in the brisk wind, and I mean brisk (24 degrees, wind chill around 18, that is brisk for us here in TEXAS!!) to go fetch the mail and came across my neighbor walking her teeny- tiny, itsy-bitsy dog. I mean, I don't even think this dog is an entire handful.
I asked her if I could take his picture and of course she agreed.
Here is little Darby.
I actually took the time to change all of my settings before laying in the road to capture this bitty little thing, ignoring the quiet sniggering of my neighbor as I talked quickly and nervously through it.

In a perfect world, the leash would be removed so as to not draw our eyes out of the picture. Just pretend for me okay?

Face into the wind, eyes watering from sun and chill.

But, smiling???

I am including this one in hopes that you can see how little he is.

Maybe 9 inches tall to the top of his fuzzy ears!

And my last shots for the day are to fulfill my February photo challenge assignment.
Day 2: How they look!

I think it is amazing how kids can contort their bodies into strange and impossible ways and do all sorts of things.
So this is my version of how she looks... folded up doing homework.

I couldn't resist getting in a little closer so you could see what she is writing.

I like pie.
The last one..."I like to be right."
Ha ha ha, don't we all.

My new lens was delayed because of the weather. Bummer!

I hope you aren't bored with photo posts and will stick with me through this learning my camera portion of my life. It is pretty important to me!
Catch ya tomorrow!
