88/366 | Photo Object

I was so preoccupied by certain things today that I did not pay attention to things to take photos of. At night, I said “Oh crap. I don’t have a photo for the day. Let me just take a picture of something on the wall.”

78/366 | 76 degrees and it’s March

It worries me that it’s so warm out. I have seen the arrival of large flies. Mosquitoes will soon follow. I hear ticks are out and very active already. When I think about the heat this summer may bring, it’s dreadful.

Part of me wants to just celebrate the warmth. But then, there is really no Spring thaw to celebrate. The winter never came to begin with, and I love winter. I love snow. If I’m ever going to get a tatoo, it’s going to be a snowflake.

While we were out on the beach today, though, there was really no reason to be grumpy or worried. It was just simply beautiful.

76/366 | New Toy

This is totally wrong in terms of this project because I didn’t take this photo, but today was all about the new toy that arrived via UPS, and this picture portrays it very well.

We had no iPad in our household, but now there are two. We always had iPhones and there are 3 Mac laptops in the house. I don’t know if we’ll ever be looking up from the screens in days to come.

67/366 | Back to the Furry Dude

Spent all day with this one at P’s parents’. Apparently, he spent 3 average hours every day in this backyard, which he loves. He wags his tail like crazy when they come home. And they said he finished every meal. It sounds like he also had a good 7-day vacation.

It was so nice that I did not have to feel too guilty or worried while in Colorado. It would have taken so much away from the fun if we had put him in a commercial kennel.

57/366 | On the Edge

All those people were doing descents. It looked doable for me, but the preparation seemed to take forever. This place used to be a querry. Because people kept diving into the water, they filled the querry, and now it’s a city rock climbers playground.

42/366 | Softness

Even on a very crappy day, I kiss him right there behind the ears and I’m filled with the warm fuzzies. The softness is just completely out of this world.

37/366 | Seagull

Seagulls are everywhere in this town. We are never too far from the ocean, but sometimes, I think they fly inland to get food. I see them perched on a dumpster sometimes.

I’ve been pretty uninspired for the last week in terms of taking photos. It’s funny how clearly that shows on the photos.

36/366 | Beach Day

Drove 1.5 hours toward south. A relatively warm day. This particular beach was really empty and beautiful. I had only been there once before, 10 years ago. It surprised me that I remembered where it was, but then, I do have a pretty good sense of direction.

32/366 | Pretty Little Thing

Except for the speed of focusing, this little camera has been a real pleasure. It has produced some quality images that made me very happy over the weekend. So the value should be placed mostly on its capability, of course. However, I do really love the retro look, almost as much. It’s attracted a lot of comments and questions. When I’m trying to be discreet about taking photos, this actually may work against me.

24/366 | colliding bubbles

Each of those boxes (apartments) is populated by at least one person, who has his or her own life stories and thoughts and dreams.

I always imagine those things as a huge thought-bubble above the person’s head. The bubble is much much bigger than the person. If there are two people living together, their lives and thoughts and dreams (their thought bubbles) collide and bounce vigorously. Then I imagine this whole building full of people walking around with their own enormous thought-bubbles bumping into each other, trying to co-exist.

23/366 | procrastination

This is where we throw in the mail when they first come in. We are supposed to clear it out every few days. My box is on the right. P’s is on the left. Clearly, I don’t expect anything good in my mail.

22/366 | Sharing

When I’m done for the day, I come to bed and this is what I see. A half of the bed is already occupied by P. The half of the other half is taken by K-dog. I squeeze myself into the remaining area, and slowly try to stretch out gradually, to reclaim the bed that used to belong only to myself.
