My wife had the idea to capture running water. As always, she was right. It looks pretty cool. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think.

With the tips from Cesar Millan aka: The Dog Whisperer, I think Bindy and me are starting new. At first BIndy had some sort of problem with me where i could make her pee on demand by simply calling her to me. She would come up to me a submissive walk squatting and peeing at the same time as she approached me. She would make it to me, but with a trail of pee. That has stopped recently, but I think before we rescued her when she was beaten, probably by the man of the house I’m guessing. So now with some simple trust training, teaching her to give me her paw, which she wouldn’t do for anyone, and our daily walk for exercise, things completely changed between us. It didn’t take long, but I know there is a lot more work to be done. She truly is a good dog.

Hail To Cesar Millan, he is brilliant!

Have you ever been near someone that has bad breath and were afraid to tell them? That’s why these babies are a great thing to keep close by! Give one to them and you will thank you. They are so strong (“Curiously Strong”) that they would freshen anyone’s breath. At least temporarily until you can get out of the room!

As you can see form this photo, I used the green screen, but as I keep forgetting, you can’t have any green in your subject (see left Altoids box).

We have a bunch of different plant decorations in the house, the kind that don’t die. This one seemed to be a nice pick for today’s photo! I can’t wait until the spring and summer come. I’m going to have a blast capturing landscapes and plant life.  #Project365  

There are a lot of memories in a pile of shredded paper, but they only memories of the person who did the shredding. If you were to look at this photo and tell me three things from it what would they be?

Here are three things I see…
1. The distinctive Verizon Wireless bill that I found one day when cleaning out old bills.
2. The recent credit card that I didn’t need any more since the new one was just delivered.
3. My resume that was printed on 25% Cotton Fiber that I no longer need because I have a kick ass job!

They say a picture says a thousand words. How many words are in a photo of shredded paper?

So we have this left over valentines day candy. I thought I would put a bunch in a bowl and take a shot of them. What is your favorite one from this photo?

Also, how come when growing up, I remember these heart shape candies having better alignment? What I mean is most of these have words running off the heart, and some are just not centered where it looks like someone was just freaking lazy. Some are smudged, not all there or just plain BLAH! Also, I’m not sure if they had the “Yes Dear” one when I was a kid.

It was about 20 degrees this morning and there was still a dusting of snow on the ground. My daughter thought it was a good idea to go on the deck and play, but she forgot her socks and shoes. She quietly went outside, almost ninja like. She then comes running into the house covering up her feet in a blanket. There I sat on the couch wondering what she was doing. Later on that morning, I walked by the deck door and saw these cute little foot prints in the snow. I’m not sure she learned her lesson though, because she did it again.

My dad asked me to take a photo of his election sign so I thought I would make it my Day 56 photo. He has been doing a great job as selectman for my home town and I wish him all the luck for when he is re-elected!

Great work dad, keep up the good work!

Well I thought since the camera was in the clothes dryer and hot enough where it almost melted, I figured putting it in the fridge would cool it off fast. I probably shouldn’t have forgotten about it though. I guess that’s one way to freeze a moment in time. 😉

Raise your hand if you see a pattern of photo’s 😉 More to come!

Things that {finish this phrase}

Have you ever put your wallet, your car keys or even a USB thumb-drive in the wash? Well those are easy since they were most likely in your pants pocket. My question is how did my Canon Power-Shot SD1000 point and shoot camera make it in there? Can you tell by the photo that I was surprised? Ok, so I never went to acting school. I even tried to add drama by making it black & white. Tell me what you think.
