What a great day is was to grill some burgers. And grill them I did!

Someone cut this tree down, but why didn’t they finish the job? Anyways, it made for an interesting photo.

Here is a photo of a bird house at my parents house. It appears a tenant has moved in. Where’s the rent you freeloader?

Here is a tree at my parents that always seems to be looking at you. All I can say is take it at face value 😉
Pop Quiz: What direction does this face face?

Here is a shot overlooking my home town where I grew up into the current city I live in. Off in the distance you can see UMass Medical School. But pay attention to the light coming down from the clouds. I thought that was pretty neat.

Here is a picture of my kid’s slide on their swing set in the back yard. Not much of a subject, but this shot was just about the angle.

Some photographers would frown on the use of lens flare in a photo. I think the effect of lens flare is cool. So to all you photographers that don’t like it (insert raspberry sound here) 😉

In ten days, our old digital video recorders will be out of service because the company, ReplayTV, told us they are discontinuing the channel guide which makes it pretty much worthless without it. As of July 31, 2011 ReplayTV is shutting down the service that ruled the households television for many many years. At the time, ReplayTV was 10 times better than Tivo in my opinion, but now that that it’s pretty much the only choice out there for a high quality DVR service, we have ordered two and they will be here tomorrow. I know I could have gone with Charter Communications DVR, but honestly, that company get’s way too much money from me and I don’t plan on giving them another cent, except for the cable cards they are renting me for the Tivo’s. Anyways, as part of the promotion, Tivo sent us this plush toy (they say it’s worth $15.00, hahahahah). The kids love it, so that’s ok by me.

I was going through my various pictures that I have recently taken, and I came across this one. I can’t remember what these are called. Can you help me? The first person that answers this will get the satisfaction of helping others, or at least me. 😉 Yes I know I can Google this, but that takes all the fun out of it.
