Standing out in a crowd...

THREE YEARS OF DAILY POSTING!!!

Not for the squeamish...

First I saw the American mascot...



Then I saw some snacks for it...


I warned you ;)

Couldn't pass these up...

I was mowing the lawn after work and stopped to snap some shots before disturbing these seeds. All are desktop sized so be sure to click and enjoy!

Four flowers from one bouquet...

The sign...

Is it a sign of the apocalypse?
Is it a sign of a brighter future?
Is it a sign of lower gas prices?
Or is it something... bigger?



Well, whatever it is... if it is thrown Ella's way I'm sure she'll catch it :)


Q: What do you get when you cross an insomniac, an atheist
and a dyslexic?
A: A guy who lays in bed, looking at the ceiling, wondering if there's a dog.

Project Green... Take 4... divide by 2 and add 1...

Anna gets all the credit... and it is well deserved!

What gets greener than this?

Desktop sized! Click and enjoy!

Nothing like walking barefoot on a plush lawn.

Desktop sized! Click and enjoy!

Unfortunately, with dogs you have to watch out for land mines. And a lawn gets harder and harder to keep lush.

Look Ma! I can balance a ball on my nose!

Project Green... Take 3... (litter)ally...

And a little Ella on the side.









Don't forget, Anna started all this :)

Project GREEN...Take 2

Visit Anna to see more (and participate in) Project Green!

At work today we are celebrating a fellow employee's looming marriage. We have all sorts of goodies and I am willing to share.

broken and random...

I was googling the term "broken" to find something that would fit this image and came across a fantastic random poem generator site:
Broken Poem



broken poem

ignore it
love & fame & death

the hammers pounding in nails
the dead plants...

he stayed there on his big rump

the warmth of the grape

ignore the poor
walk along the street

Little pink pig! Little pink pig! La-la-la-la...

This is Ella and her little pink pig...


Any fans of the comic strip "Mutts" will know the reference of the "little pink sock"...


All the other stuffed toys are shredded. Headless bears, gutted squeakers and torn rings... but the pig is sacred. The pig has not been torn. The pig continues to squeak.


The other dogs respect the pig and in turn, Ella-bell...


She is indeed a princess in this house... as her mother is the queen...

Project Looking Through...take 2...

Mark's PLT is a hit... and here is my second entry.

"It's not satanic! I swear!"...

MCF (left), Pollaris13 (right) and I (middle) walk into a bar... wait, wrong story... we walk into a park and follow a path through some woods. A clearing emerges and a field of what were once pretty wildflowers is now before us as dried stalks a plenty.

There are two paths... do you go left or right... wait a minute! This isn't choose your own adventure.

We pass a group of young teenagers and one chunky kid tells his friends "I'll be right back. I just want to see what's around this bend." We laughed about this thinking we just entered a bad Long Island horror flick.

Through the thicket of "once were flowers" brought us to a clearing with a circle of rocks surrounded by a circle of trees. Pollaris13 decides that this area needs a pentagram and sends me to collect sticks. I hear an evil laugh escape his lips as he explains it is not an evil symbol but pagan in nature.

MCF steps back, fearing that a portal is about to open that will spew forth demons and brimstone. I snap a picture of us looking at our handiwork and chuckle as we discuss what fun it would be if it appeared on the evenings local news: "SATANIC RITUALISTIC ALTER FOUND AT AREA PARK!"

Hey, we didn't leave a body there... wait... isn't that that chunky kid we saw a while back on the trail?

I go back to look at my photo and realize that the sun hit that center stick in such a way that it created a satanic... I mean pagan... arrow pointing right at Pollaris13. Maybe MCF should have been a little more diligent when he tried to warn me.

I feel like a freakin' goonie stuck in Stand By Me. I wonder who came across that scene after we left... ;)

Project Looking Through...

Anna pointed me to Mark and a new project.

Don't you wish we all had one?...

And continuing with the red theme...

We're In This Together...

"you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you"—NIN

Project Yellow comes to a close. What will the future bring?

It's those things that make you go bloom!...

Show some love to the initiator of project yellow.

Yellow and a treat...

Anna has yellow on the mind... who's gonna do an egg yolk macro?

So, what does this mean to you? Depending on what side of the light I'm on it means either "Hurry up and hit the gas!" or "Rev your engine and get ready to go!"



And here is a bonus image for all you doggie urinal fans :) I found a red one in Garden City. I think I've seen blue somewhere so I'll have to search for that again.
