Day 148
I really liked the look that using the pinhole setting on my camera gave this rose.

Day 147
This bird was sitting on our back fence and he let me get really close for a nice photo. I can't remember what type of bird it is but I thought it made for a nice photo.

Day 146
We visited the Boise Aquarium today. I know you wouldn't think of seeing a lizard at an aquarium but they had this guy sitting on a table under a heat lamp. He was pretty friendly...

Day 145

Day 144
I was playing with light for this photo. I took several photos with the light in different places and I thought this was the best of the bunch.

Day 143
I really liked the colors of this flower.

Day 142b
I'm adding a second photo for day 142 because you don't get to see an eclipse very often. Thank heavens for the LCD screen on my camera. If not for that, I don't think I would have been able to capture this photo.

Day 142
We were painting some rings for a project and I thought it made it an interesting photo. The photo shows a good depth of field.

Day 141

A pretty backyard sunset!

Day 140

Pretty strong wind to make that flag stand almost straight out.

Day 139

An auditorium ceiling. The photo doesn't actually look like what I saw.

Day 138

Some more flowers...

Day 137

I thought this was a beautiful flower and took a photo of it.

Day 136

Sprinkling system all fixed! I'm a happy camper!

Day 135
This probably isn't the greatest photo but I thought it showed a couple things that can make a good photo. One is repetition and two is leading lines.  Plus I just couldn't resist taking a photo of that many port-a-potties all lined up.  :)

Day 134

I really like the colors in these flowers. 

Day 133

So we had a leak in the valve coming from the irrigation company. They replaced the valve for free but he had to cut the pipe between the valve and my filter. Now I have some work to do. Not really happy...

Day 132

A pretty blue sky.

Day 131

Day 130

This guy was hanging out in front of the office where I work.

Day 129

A new friend?

Day 128
We saw these cute little goslings while we were on are walk today.

Day 127

How about a photo of technology?

Day 126

Day 125
The kids made sure the Root-Beer was belted in.

Day 124

Not sure what kind of animal that is. It looked like it was hiding from us.

Day 123

Almost there. Tile is in, now just need to complete the finish work.

Day 122

Making progress on that tile job.

Day 121

Blue and green.

Day 120

How about some rain.

Day 119

Day 118

Day 117

Gotta love traffic...

Day 116

Quail on the back fence.

Day 115

Day two of the project. What a mess.

Day 114

I started a new home project today. We're replacing the carpet in the entry with tile. 

Day 113

Day 112

Day 111

This was the drive home from work tonight. I probably shouldn't be taking photos while I'm driving but I thought it would make an interesting photo to get the windshield wiper in the photo with the rain.

Day 109

This is a picture of our car from the hotel room window. I thought it was an interesting perspective of the car since you don't normally see it from the top.

Day 108

Day 107

I don't really remember why I took this photo other than it was more blossoms during the spring.

Day 106

The Boise river is running really high this year. They have been releasing water to make room for what is coming from the higher mountains. The river has actually been running above flood stage, which you can see in this photo. Normally the trees in the upper right of the photo are not out in the water.

Day 105

Day 104


My daughter took this photo for me. This was after they had finished coloring the eggs. Nice job!!

Day 103

Day 102


Here are some more blossoms. In this case, I really liked the contrast of the white blossoms agains the blue background of the sky.

Day 101

The moon was really prominent this afternoon when we were out for a walk. I don't think this shot really does the moon justice. There are several things I am fascinated with in photos and the moon is one of them. If you search the internet for moon photos there are thousands of shots that are really magnificent. I have captured a few shots over the years that I think are pretty good. I suppose I will continue to take pictures of moon and hopefully someday I will get one of those awesome ones.

Day 100

More flowers blossoming. I didn't really pay attention to the background when I shot this photo. Now that I'm looking at it, I wish I had moved either left or right before I snapped the shutter so that the tree in the background was positioned differently.  I guess that's why we take lots of photos.

Day 99

Day 98

Fall is in the air. I'll probably have more photos of flowers for the next while as they all start to bloom and blossom.

Day 97

Day 96

Day 95

This is another photo that would probably work better as a video since the wallpaper is what's called a live wallpaper, meaning that it has motion going on in the background. I like the realism of the photo and the fish moving make it even better.

Day 94

Our family was out for a walk this afternoon and grabbed a photo of our feet while we were walking. This would probably be better as part of a video but I like it anyway. Last summer, during our vacation to Washington DC, my son took a video of his feet while we navigating the subway and it was really a pretty interesting video to watch.

Day 93

This photo was taken at one of the baseball parks in our area. This is the top of a chain link fence around the ball diamond. I guess they didn't want anyone to get hurt by the chain link. We never had this kind of protection and I made it to adulthood just fine.  :)
