Firecracker chicken at Panda. Mmm, just keep those beans! Mandarin chicken is better! Yummo!

Beautiful sunset from the 16th floor...especially through those tinted windows! Just like a ready-made polarizer! Or something.
Day 23: 342
Oh fun! My daughter saw this as we cruised by. On our way back we stopped and had to take a few shots. I wonder if anyone got in trouble for putting soap in the fountain??? I love it!Day 22: 343
So, I wanna lose weight, but it's way too hard with ice cream and cookies in my life. I LOVE chocolate. I could use a chocolate bar from See's candies right now... ummm, the toffee one.Day 21: 344
With the cold evenings we've been having here in Northern California, a fire is just the right thing to have. However, I like a true log fire, not those sawdust and kerosene logs. Don't get me wrong, I will throw a duraflame log on in a heartbeat, but I prefer a real wood fire. The smell is something you cannot duplicate. The fuel logs don't smell like a real wood fire. They smell very chemical-ly. Makes me want to light one up right now! I need a cord of dry, seasoned wood. Anybody wanna bring me some?Day 20: 345
Nothing today....yesterday's weak submission left me a little.....ok, there is no excuse, I'm just lame.
Day 18: 347
I love these little mirrors. It's a sun catcher that I bought a while ago. My mother-in-law took me to the outlets in Las Vegas and cha-ching! I found 3 sun catchers. I gave two away and kept the largest one. The sun hits and there is light everywhere! I like to follow the light dots around the wall. Such fun! I'm easy.Friday, January 29, 2010
Day 17: 348
I think this picture says it all! Sometimes this is just the way I feel. Deep down, I know that I am rooted and grounded in the truth, but this life will make you feel unbalanced, like you can't make sense of things. But I look to the giver of Truth. Hear O Israel the Lord our God is one! Slowly, I have my balance back!
Day 13: 352
SHURE!
Just thought this was cool...from different angles, but this is one of the sharpest ones I got. Changed to black & white after a tight crop.
Day 11: 354
LEARNING TO KNIT
I've been crocheting off and on since I was twelve. I mean, I let it lapse during my high school and college years, but when I got married and was pregnant with my first child, I tried to pick it up again. That first blanket was SO heavy! There was a lady at my job that saw me crocheting and she used to laugh at me because she saw how I was crocheting and it tickled her. Well, she finally had mercy and showed me how to do it right. I was initially never interested in knitting, but recently I began to wonder if it was something I could learn. My neice tried to teach me a few years ago, but I didn't really take to it. Maybe if I had lived closer (CA and OH, kind of far) I could have kept pestering her to show me more. I have a few ladies at my job that have been super wonderful! They have been so encouraging as I took my first baby steps and knit my first project. Now I've gotten a little more confident and I've begun making hats and scarves. Yeah!! I might have to sell some! :-D Hahaha, baby steps, Tammy, baby steps.
Day 10: 355
Sunday MorningI was asked to take a family picture but I didn't like what I took. As they split up, the mom to go do something and the dad to take the kids to the car, I got this departing shot. After cropping, I changed it to black & white, then used a warming filter. A little contrast and fill light, and tada, a cool picture. Sure, I wish there were some things not in the shot, like a parking lot with cars and other such extraneous stuff, but given the spontaneous nature of the shot, I'm ok with it. They loved it!!
Day 8: 357
Now is that gorgeous or WHAT!?!? Finally! Picked up my camera again. I can't explain why it took me three days. I don't know the variety of this tulip, but it's a beauty. The colors are exquisite. I'm not that good with words or I'd be bubbling over with descriptions of the textures and colors in this specimen. It's bonafide!
Day 4: 361
I love taking pics of flowers. I saw some dandelions today and wished I had my camera on me. This one is from a bouquet that I had around Christmas time. It lasted quite a long time! There is something about daisies that I love. They aren't my favorite flower, but they have undercover appeal to me. If you turn it over, the back of it is just as interesting as the front. I took a gorgeous picture a couple years ago that I love. Since that one, I have made it a point to take pics of daisies from many different angles. You should try that. Look at something you look at everyday and try to see it from another angle. Take pictures of it and see what you come up with. I like doing that and then cropping in really close until it's a little difficult to identify what you are looking at. I love quizzing people to see if they can tell what it is. Fun times!!Day 3: 362
Frosty Mug Rootbeer Eyes! Yeah buddy! My daughter and I were debating the color of my eyes. I have always maintained that they are rootbeer brown. She said they looked like dark coffee. WhatEVER!!!

Day 2: 363
Ahhhh, the self portrait. I can't say that I've spent alot of time taking pictures of myself. I'm usually the one taking the pictures, and very few people think to take the camera from me and switch positions. The few times people have done it, I liked what I ended up with. This time, trying to balance the camera on something so it wouldn't fall over, then trying to focus from arms length, well, let's just say that I'm in no hurry to repeat this! I did it first with ambient light. Too yellow. Then I decided to try it with the flash. Better, but no make-up! Ok, so off to the lavatory to play. End result? Make-up and a new realization. I have REALLY bad skin and I should either pay someone to make it look better, or drink lots of water and hope it gets better on its own! Also, I think maybe I'm too old for shimmery make-up, unless I have a really good matte foundation. I may need to go to one of those make-up counters and see what they do to me and get some ideas. I just look old!
Day 1: 364
Haha, this was funny. We traditionally go out for breakfast on New Year's Day and I thought I had forgotten to bring my camera. Well actually, I had forgotten the SLR but I realized on the way home that I had the P&S in my purse so I put it on the dash and tried to focus it. As you can see, the focus was off, but it was hilarious. We took a few more but I decided on the first one to post because it was so silly.
