It's over!

I took this today on Vashon Island, right outside of their library. I had the kids go to the top of this hill while I stood below and told them to jump.

After going through the shots I took on this beautiful 12/31/10, I think their silhouettes really show how I feel about finishing this project.

For the past 365 days, I have taken at least one photo. Each one of those days, I have posted at least one photo to Flickr, Facebook, and my own P365 blog.

I did not miss a day and typically, I posted after 8pm.

I don't know how many thousands of photos I took this year, but over the course of them, I have learned a whole lot about photography.

Sad thing is, there is always so much more to learn!

I hope you had fun watching. I had fun shooting and learning and will continue, though probably not every day!

One more day. This was the frost on my deck this morning. The sun came through the railing and I thought it would be coooooool.

See you tomorrow, and

GO HUSKIES!!!!

SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT.

This is a glass of jelly marbles that Haley got in a science kit for Xmas. We put these sesame seed size balls into water and, POOF, in hours, they turned into bubble tea jellies!

Only, they don't taste anything like them. They kind of taste like CHEMICALS.

That is, if I tasted one. Which I didn't. Not non-toxic, you know.

Ridiculous hair. I have not had a hair cut for months. It is a mess and completely unruly. And going gray.

Wow, that was a pain. Just for fun, I thought I'd download the free paint.net program, which is touted as an alternative to Photoshop/Elements.

Well, I'm sure it is, but hello, learning curve!

For a free program, it sure does appear powerful, but after using PSE7 for the past 12 months, I couldn't even find where the crop tool was without searching Google.

Anyway, Hay got an Easy Bake Oven yesterday and today it was all about cookies. I had to kept her occupied as her Papa (grandpa) had to make an unscheduled visit to the hospital for an appendectomy.

Good news is he's fine; bad news is he's got to stay here beyond what they had scheduled. We're happy to have them and hope to see him up and at 'em later this week.

I keep meaning to stop here for a quick pic, but work has interfered. Today, after a run to get a light bulb for Haley's new Easy Bake Oven, I remembered this place. I went home, grabbed the camera and snapped a few.

Marci made some molasses cookies yesterday. They were delicious.

As in "The Best Cookies She's Ever Made" delicious.

And they're even gluten free! Which for me, usually means crumbly and dry, but somehow she had some magic mix of flour that made everything Just Right.

So yummy, indeed!

Bella is not a yellow dog all of a sudden. We are dogsitting our friend's pup, Barkley. He drove all the way over from Leavenworth, so, naturally, he doesn't understand, "Sit," or, "come," unless you say it in Bavarian.

So I'm told.

As Bella sleeps at the foot of Haley's bed, Barquley (as I like to spell his name) sleeps on Bella's bed. I will sleep in Riley's bed and Rye will sleep on the futon downstairs.

It's a mess here.

None of the above is true, except for the dogsitting thing.

Go Seahawks!

We had a Christmas party tonight so I knew I wouldn't have time to shoot at home so I took a picture of the sun at work.

More lightbox fun. This is a little thing Haley made for me a few months back. I keep meaning to put it on my keys or something.

I built myself another light box out of a cardboard box and some tissue paper. Then Marci went and got chocolates from Sweet Decadence and I thought to myself, "here's my POD!"

So, here's my POD. Try not to eat your screen.

Shot with our PowerShot SX110IS at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. We went after the deluge for Girl Scouts. The lights were nice and the evening wasn't too wet after all.

I took Riley ice skating today for a Cub Scout activity. It was a lot of fun and he tried really hard to get the hang of it. He didn't get more than 3 feet away from the wall, but he still loved doing it.

I had band practice with my other band, The Scheme, tonight. We have a show coming in January and recording in February.

This is David and he's playing a new song for us to hear.

Wine corks. Don't know why we have so many, but we do. Used a flashlight to set the mood. I had a shot I liked better, but it wasn't sharp enough, so here you go.

Marci was reading Haley something from her kid's Bible. Haley cracked up, but it wasn't because of the reading, but because of Bella licking Haley's foot.

The girls in my life. What hams!

Santa has invaded our house in full force. The kids had their pictures taken with Santa today. SANTA IS EVERYWHERE.

Unfortunately, it looks like Santa is is hanging in this picture. He IS actually hanging, but not in the execution style of hanging that I'm talking about.

:S

I took Bella out this morning and since it was nice, I brought the camera. I tried to get her jumping as she loves to get air when I hold the Chuck-It over her head, but couldn't get the timing right.

Instead, I shot her standing still after playing fetch for a few minutes.

It's my laundry basket. I was going to take some shots of the Xmas tree, but saw the light falling from upstairs into the basket. Plus, I'd just done 3 loads of laundry. That's my Friday night for you.

We put up Xmas stuff today. Or, more accurately, Marci and the kids did while I was at work.

Anyway, I closed down the aperture to make sure the shutter would be open a bit longer, then moved the camera. The ones with longer exposures were busier, but I liked this shorter one. The lights look like neon chilis.
