Day 311--Criss/Cross




How many of you have that song in your head now, hmm?


Dave

Day 310--Cat in Repose




It takes about an hour of solar charging for George to soak up enough energy to sleep all day. Hard work, being a cat.

Dave

Day 309--A Saucerful of Secrets




I got these whatever-they-ares from mom, and there was no way I could avoid using them in a pictures.

Please enjoy the hugeness of my hand.

Day 308--Hygeine




Nothing but the best nail clippers around here.


Dave

Day 307--It Goes Where?




George at his favorite place on earth--the vet.

(note: no thermometers were administered.)


Dave

Day 306--Merry Christmas




Can also be spelled "Nowell" to no ill effect. Who knew?


Dave

Day 305--Christmas Eve




I forgot to see if these bells were of the jingle variety. Oops.


Dave

Day 304--Who Was That Strange Blue Creature?




"That my kind of fellow!"

Day 303--Wrap Up




I like wrapping gifts, though I'm not really good at it.

Day 302--A Man and His Dragon




It's nice to see someone put a little bit of effort into their light displays. Most of them are so tacky anymore. So kudos to Mr. Brackman here, for his homemade display and for having a cool last name.

What the picture does not show is that it was about Butt Cold Degrees outside. Five minutes and my fingers were gone. Or darn close to it.

Dave

Day 301--Orbs




Christmas lights of a different variety--completely out of focus.

Dave

Day 300--Grassy Knoll




Yay contrast.

Dave

Day 299--Plant




I don't remember what this thing is called, sadly. It's sitting on my desk at work, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to give this thing a proper title. But I love the way the bud points down, only to have the petals grow upwards. It's a weird effect.

Day 297--Take A Breath




All I really wanted was a shot of the snowflakes this morning. What I wound up with was far cooler.

Day 296--Not Responsible For Damage to Your Car




So I know what it's supposed to be, but doesn't it look like some demented Pac-Man after awhile? Or someone with a really weird hair-do?

Or maybe it's just me.


Dave

Day 295--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 7




Now, I know some of you (mom) were hoping for a picture of The Boot to close this out, but, alas, every picture of it turned out pretty awful. And I wasn't in the mood to go fussing around with things, so I went with this guy as a back-up. And, truth be told, I think it turned out just fine.

Maybe we'll see the boot before all is said and done...


Dave

Day 294--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 6




Good ol' Charlie Brown.

Apart from the Star Trek ornaments, the short-lived Peanuts series was the only other group I've ever collected.

Day 293--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 5




Easily one of the oldest ornaments I have. I can't remember, though, if it was grandma's or oma's. Any help out there?


Dave

Day 292--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 4




I honestly think that fish-eye lenses were made for shooting ornaments. I love the way the whole background drops out, making the ship really look like it's flying around in there.

It's the Rio Grande, from DS9, for those curious.

And yes, this was all exceptionally nerdy. Too bad.

Day 291--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 3




I think all of my major interests are represented via ornaments. Nice, really.

Dave

Day 290--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 2




I have enough Star Trek ornaments to do two weeks worth of pictures. I'll try to contain myself, though.

Dave

Day 289--Oh? Christmas Tree? Part 1




Far be it from me to not spend a week showing off the myriad ornaments populating my Christmas tree. Starting a day late because of engagement pictures.

Dave

Day 288--Engage(d)




Questions abound:

-why did I have them put their hands on the ornament?
-why include the ornament at all?
-was it simply to get my reflection in their engagement picture?


Dave

Day 287--Light it Up




Fish-eye + Christmas tree = good times


Dave

Day 286--The Jed Clampet of the New Millenium




Mr. Bela Fleck


Dave

Day 285--Stay Frosty




Cold morning.

Dave

Day 284--Roll Out



They make tubs of books easier to move, and make traversing the garage more interesting for me sometimes.

Day 283--See How They Run




It's my belief that theater would be 27x better if every play featured people leaping.

Dave

Day 282--Kitty Has Reached Critical Mass




This scene lit by Christmas lights. Awwwwwwwwwwwww.


Dave

Day 281--First Snow




Not much, but it was still pretty cool.
