Day 338 - Dreamin' of Diving

Yeah, this was just my son's aquarium today (which I cleaned), but anytime I see fish I want to grab my scuba gear. I have a cold and don't feel great, just think I am needing a dive trip here real soon!

Day 335 - Home!

Waiting for our bags.and they had a display of "guitars" at baggage claim.  This one caught my eye of in tribute to Janis Joplin.  A "Piece of My Heart" is always here in Austin.
Travel is fun, but so glad to be home!

Day 331 - Just Do It

In response to the Daily Shoot Prompt "Make a photograph of a circular or round object today."  I guess the Christmas tree was an obvious choice for this one!

Played with some "posterizing" within Picniks with the same photo

Day 320 - PopTart Balance

I was at a swim meet today taking pictures of the swimmers, and went to the concession stand.  There was this adorable little boy waiting on his mom.  He found a way to amuse himself by trying to balance a PopTart on his head.  I just loved the different "blues" in this picture and the wonderful intent (but playful) look on his face.

Day 319 - Oh, yeah...on my mind!

In response to the Daily Shoot Prompt, "What makes you anxious? Illustrate it in a photograph today. "   Yeah...not for me but for my daughter.  May the choices be done by Christmas!

Day 315 - Sky...Lights

Sitting at the light waiting to turn for home, I was admiring the sunset...
my camera was next to me.  I shot this one in attempt to capture the sky, but got some interesting light streams from the cars as well.  Not much time for pictures today, so will use this one for this blog.

Day 314 - Final Fall Colors

Took this picture this morning in Landis Park in New Braunfels.  A cold-front had moved through last night.  While we don't get much color change in the leaves in central Texas, there is some.  I like the way a few colored leaves can be seen faintly in the distance.

Day 313 - Alone on the Tree

Lights are on the tree, but we will not decorate until our senior gets home from her college visit tomrrow night. However, I shot this picture tonight with a lone "gingerbread man" on the tree.  Go Christmas!

Day 310 - "You Lookin' at Me?"

Really love how blue the sky is in the background and how bare the trees are (except for that single colorful leaf in the background).  It was a very cool morning and the birds were all very active in the trees outside my favorite breakfast taco place.  Did a little work with Picnik for the first time to make this photo work for the Daily Shoot Prompt, "Use vignetting in a photograph today."
