Day 167/365 - Spider
June 16, 2011
My wife told me to look at our deck glass door for a good photo op. Look who I saw just sitting there waiting for, well what ever spiders wait for.
Day 168/365 - Water Drainage
June 17, 2011
This is another photo I took during the photo walk the other day. This was my son's idea and of course was a good one. He really has an eye for this stuff.
Day 169/365 - A Walk In The Park, No Sitting Allowed
June 18, 2011
I was walking with my wife and kids in a park called Holmes Field. It was an awesome day for a stroll with the family. We saw what looked like a bench, but with weeds and grass growing through every nook and cranny. Loo…
Day 170/365 - Testing 1...2...3...
June 19, 2011
I was in the street setting up to shoot some local fireworks (not the kind the city does, but the kind a local police officer on that lives on my street has, don't get me started). As I was setting up, I was taking some…
Day 171/365 - My First Attempt At Capturing Fireworks
June 20, 2011
Ok, so I'm not the best at photographing Fireworks.... Yet ;). Right not I am learning to shoot at night with manual settings. None of this auto exposure setting stuff you see in point and shoot cameras. Not that they'r…
Day 172/365 - 2nd Attempt At Capturing Fireworks
June 21, 2011
This is another one that I thought looked cool. Unfortunately there were only two photo's out of about 150 that I liked. However, I learned a lot and I think I'm ready for the actual bigger fireworks that will be on Jul…
Day 173/365 - Message In A Bottle?
June 22, 2011
Ok, so my kids got a small rubber lizard that was about 2" long. We squeezed it into an empty 2 litter bottle and filled it up with water. Now the thing is the size of the bottle. So what I was thinking was to bring thi…
Day 174/365 - Steering Wheel
June 23, 2011
So I was parked outside of our local auto repair shop waiting for my wife to drop her car off. So I thought i would take an iPhone photo of my steering wheel. To be honest, it's not a very exciting picture. I won't lie …
Day 175/365 - Design With Lines
June 24, 2011
I took the artsy route for this one. Let me know what you think this is a photo of. Now I did major post processing, so I will string you a long on this one. ;)
Day 176/365 - Colorful and Tasty Candy
June 25, 2011
I like taking photo's of assorted colors. Along with a lot of color, these candies are very tasty. Can you guess what these candies are called? Sorry, no hints today ;)
Day 177/365 - Growing Something On The Deck
June 26, 2011
My daughter (5) and my wife (??) planted a variety of seeds into some dirt and placed it on the deck. It now looks like something is actually growing. Not the prettiest picture, but definitely worth capturing.
Day 178/365 - Thin Ice
June 27, 2011
Had some game time with my kids today. We played a game we just got the other day called Thin Ice. Each player puts a wet ball on a thin tissue without breaking it. It was fun so I captured the moment.
Day 179/365 - Bark At The Moon My Little Wolf!
June 28, 2011
Tonight was my son's move from a Tiger Cub Scout to a Wolf. He's smiling from cheek to cheek.
Day 180/365 - Hammock
June 29, 2011
After a long day at work, I came home and relaxed for a bit on our brand new hammock. The weather was warm but had a cool, almost like sea breeze in the air.
Day 181/365 - Single Key
June 30, 2011
Ok, so near the end of the day I was actually bored at work for the first time. So I started looking for things around me to photograph. I see people sometimes with 5 to 10 keys on their key rings. I just have this one.…

Day 186/365 - Where did this come from?
July 5, 2011
It appears that my wife went to Kohl's again ;) This is her favorite store. This sun flower was on our entertainment center, but I'm not sure how long it's been there. ;) That's all good and it made for a good photo.
Day 187/365 - Sweet Goodness
July 6, 2011
I am once again watching my calorie intake on a daily basis in an effort to drop a few more pounds. Of course I'm working out as well. However, It's hard when I see these treats in the cabinet. While salivating over the…
Day 188/365 - Orange Flower
July 7, 2011
Here is a nice looking orange flower. I tried to bring the color out with some post processing. This was shot on my brand new Nikon D7000. I'm still learning the features of this camera.
Day 189/365 - Happy Birthday To Me!
July 8, 2011
My wife showed her artistic ability and drew me a birthday theme on our chalkboard wall in the kitchen. I didn't do any post processing except for cropping in fear of ruining her artwork. Thank you for the wonderful bir…
Day 190/365 - Japanese Maple (HDR)
July 9, 2011
Here is my first attempt at a High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo. This shot was done in 3 exposures and they were blended together with HDR Efex Pro. This allowed me to get the things up close and the sky all in focus which…
