April 20th, Day 110: My Little Helper

by

I spent time out in the ‘yard’ today planting some of our future dinners – kale, two types of lettuce, basil, cilantro, and spinach.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll plant the other stuff out at the community garden. I have a couple different kinds of tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, beans, peppers, and eggplant!

I did have a helper today. He was quite curious what I was doing.

As long as he doesn’t pee on my raised bed, we’ll stay friends. :p

Scavenger Hunt Sunday – May 13th/ Mother’s Day!

by

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there, may your day be filled with odd homemade breakfasts and demands for attention. :)

I struggled with a couple of this week’s prompts, as I usually do. I always want to come up with something particularly clever, but that does not always happen.

Sidewalk:

Using my *new* 50mm 1.8 lens I decided to try to take an interesting photo of sidewalk. This is what I came up with.

Inspiring:

While hiking through the woods I happened to look up and see the sun coming through the two halves of the trunk of this tree.

Time:

I take the 405 up to Bellevue each week to get to the Humane Society. Every time I think that the traffic is going to be better, and every time it never is. How much time do I unnecessarily spend driving on this crazy freeway?

Close up:

I found this little fellow out by my garden, sitting and waiting for his next meal.

With Mirror:

Alright, maybe this is a bit of a cheat, but this lake I photographed in January has a mirror like effect going on. It was the best I could come up with.
