Day 3

Possible one of my least favorite places in the world! But if I do laundry at the farm the whites turn orange. Sigh....

Quercus palustris aka Pin Oak (Swamp Oak)

I love Pin Oak...Mighty Oaks that get big and have such a unique form with descending, lateral and ascending branches all on the same tree when young. They are just a fantastic tree!

Not to mention that they keep the squirrels well fed through the winter!

Hubby likes to shop for one thing only......Equipment. Sunday we went for a drive with the girls and stopped off for a peak at the 'new' tractor dealer in the area.

Any one want to guess on what this piece of equipment is? I know all you farm girls will probable know.

Project 365

I took this picture last Thursday. I was sitting in the Jeep after ordering Chinese take-a-way. I got the camera out and started to play around with the exposure taking different frames. I knew what I wanted I just didn't know how to get it. When I thought that maybe I had finally captured the shot I brought my exposure down one more stop and took one last shot. Good thing. Because this is what I was aiming for. I wanted to see those late afternoon sunbeams.

And that got me thinking.....

What am I going to do with this photo....I mean I know that I don't have to post it....and the idea was to play around with the camera and learn ...but I like the shot. And maybe if I post it someone will critique it.

Hmmmm......

Project 365. People can set there own rules. For my Project 365 the only rules are as follows:

Take a picture everyday... hopefully with the SLR, but could be with the point & toss or the cell phone.

Post it on the blog.

I started taking pictures on Sunday for this project so I'll be working on a three day lag.

On some days the 365 picture will be my only post (I've never posted every day before)....it may be just a picture....I may write something along with it. Other days there may be a second entry...if i took other pictures I like or have something more to say. Either way...please feel free to comment/critique the photos. I really would like to know how it made you feel...or just a critique would be good. My regular blogging will not be interrupted.

Anyone care to join me? Project 365 will get you taking pictures even if you are running on limited time and life is a mess. It will give 5-10-15-20 minutes to stop, breath, look around and take a picture. If your going to join along please let me know....I'm going to put a 365 list over in the sidebar.

Polo Revolution

Now...can anyone figure out what point this guy is trying to make? He's rockin' a Che Guevara T-shirt, American flag, fanatical fan face paint, and a good ol' hamburger and french fries....at a polo match. Really I just want to understand....

Of course someone we all know and love took this to heart......

She came home and immediately set to work on her 'Manifesto'. She has some surprising and shocking views regarding Cats and Pet Health Insurance.

Hey Charlotte

Hey Charlotte,

Do you know what day it is? It's Friday girl....get your little self loaded up in the car.....cause were headed to Darlington for POLO!

Nothing Say's Summer Like a Half Eaten Hot Dog

I posted a picture of my nephew on Monday....and I'm an equal opportunity kinda auntie....

My hubby, scopin' up and lovin' on my adorable niece a couple weeks at the polo match.

Question....Where do you stand on facial hair....particularly male facial hair? I've been begging hubby to keep the mustache and shave off the hangy downy droopy caterpillars. He won't do it though. Ugh!

Obie

What your opinion on this type of photo. I was drawn to it in the group because his whole self filled the frame. And of course I know him...so I think that this captured his 'self' really well. It's probable a little bit overexposed.
