This afternoon, my sons Cub Scout Pack (Pack 70 of Worcester Massachusetts) learned how to use a compass during a hike. From the photo you may notice my son wearing one work glove. Although he has some great moves, he is not taking after the late King Of Pop. The scouts were tasked to clean up trash that they found in the conservation land. There was a lot of paper, wrappers, cans, and all kinds of other trash items that made me kind of disgusted. My son loved cleaning up the environment. He made me proud today. From this photo, you can see that he was proud as well.

Way to go buddy!

Today was the first true day of Spring. The temp was in the low to mid 70’s and it was so nice. There isn’t any nice landscapes to photograph yet, but it’s only a matter of time. So I took a photo of this little guy marking today April 11, 2011 the first true day of Spring.

Do these rolls look familiar? If not, see the Day 93 photo. We had these sliders for dinner today and they were delicious. Photo taken with the iPhone 4.

I am preparing for the next full moon which is on April 19. It’s going to be a fun photoshoot! Tonight was a Waning Crescent Moon which I actually took right before dusk and adjusted the exposure with some post processing. It’s not a perfect photo, but I am learning which is the most important part of this project.

Today was the day. The day we said goodbye to the crappy broken living room windows the developer gave us back in 1998 (when we built this house) and hello to this beautiful picture window. The two installers for NewPro were awesome! I was impressed that they showed up on time, they cleaned up and were generally nice people that knew what they were doing.

Do you have NewPro windows? Let me know how you like them.

Thank you NewPro!

Today was a very bright day out. A lot of sun was coming through our front windows. So I decided to do a shadow shot. Let me know what you think.

I was messing around with manual camera settings and I came up with this shot. I am no pro when it comes to the manual settings, so I plan on making a lot of mistakes. I will master this thing. You will notice that the shot is a little grainy. That part is not a mistake. As PeeWee Herman used to say “I meant to do that”.

My wife amazes me sometimes. She felt sick all day and still had the energy to cook me this awesome dinner after I finished work today. This meat is wrapped in bacon and came with a side of cheese covered potatoes. Might not be the healthiest dinner, but it was so delicious!

When you have kids it’s 100% necessary to have bandages of all shapes, sizes, colors and patterns. The only problem is when the adults need to cover an ouchy or a booboo we are usually stuck with something like these. I think I actually had a Dora The Explorer bandage on at one point.

These are some very yummy dinner rolls. They are great to make slider sandwiches or to compliment a great meal. Picked them up at our local BJ’s wholesalers. I love their bakery. They are called Crusty Rolls.
