Not All Right

close-up (macro) image of an RCA adapter

It's not all right. It's partly left. The white side, to be specific, isn't right. The red is right. So basically, it's only half right.

A Shred Of Evidence

close-up (macro) image of some shredded paper

I (not so) sneakily crept over to the shredder with the stacks of paper and fed them one by one into its hungry maw. It diligently chowed on it, spitting out its stripped confetti. And now, all my personal info is but shards of paper.

Just A Little Bit

Very soon now this and its buddies will come in handy as I make some holes to network my house...in a couple of weeks.

Do You Measure Up?

Squirting out
What you suck in
Always there
When we begin
To find the cure
To what's our ail
You give us meds
You never fail

(Ok...that was a little bit cheesy...but that's all right.) = )

Getting Loopy

The sweets inside their little rings your taste-buds do entice
To start the day with them as breakfast makes the day quite nice

Threads with No Needles

Round and round it goes upward, upward or downward downward...always heading to where it needs to be at the ends.

Toasted Neon

No, not neon...just glowing heating elements inside of a toaster. But it almost looks like it.

Blending Mode

close-up (macro) image of a little bitty lizard (gecko?)

This little fellow and his relatives have been hanging around behind our wall-mounted mailbox at night for a few years. Since the mailbox is right underneath the porch light, they know the insects will be nearby. So there they sit and wait for their lunch.

Yesterday morning this little guy was sitting on our front door and jumped down when I opened it. He ran in the house and skittered all over the place trying to escape me. I eventually trapped him and put him out on the sidewalk. He was scared half to death and didn't move for several minutes. Thus I was able to get this photo of him...after which he immediately scampered off into a corner to hide.

Bee-utiful

I went to check out my daughter's new school yesterday and the only one there to greet me was this bee. But being engrossed in his flower, he didn't have much to say to me. Oh well.

I've Got To Hand It To You

It's amazing how many pages of a huge daytimer and several notebooks can fit into this one little bitty package. I've only had it a few months and still wonder how I ever lived without it before now.

Can You Hear Me Now?

close-up (macro) image of a headphone speaker

(Sorry for the intermittent updates the past week. I was house hunting out of town and not able to get on-line a couple of those days.)

This photo represents how I spend a lot of my time. I always have music playing in the background or foreground if at all possible, wherever I am. Around the house, with four of us, sometimes I need these headphones just to hear what I want to hear.

Purple Passion

Purple possessor of passion
Passing pleasantly

Do I Bug You?

close-up (macro) image of a bug on a screen

Being near the woods the last few days, I've had the opportunity to see many, many bugs that aren't in town in Dallas...where I usually am. This is just one of many running around...the one that didn't fly off when I tried to snap its photo.

I Scream "Cone!"

This little guy was just pining away for a chance to get photographed. After much needling, he convinced me to go out on a limb and snap his photo.

I Toad You So

close-up (macro) image of a toad

This little fellow was hopping through my sister-in-law's yard a couple of days ago. I almost stepped on him since he was so well camoflauged and so small. He's only about an inch and a half long. Within a few minutes of taking his picture, though, I saw two or three others his size hopping around in the yard. At that size, even normal blades of grass are enough to hide them 'til you're right on them.

Susan's Eyes

I don't know who Susan was or why she might have had eyes both this black and this beautiful, but her namesake is definately pleasing to look at.

For Your Safety

It was another busy evening of doing laundry. That makes two in a row...with a few more loads to do tomorrow. Oh well, procrastination always kills you...or in this case, me.
