Day 20--Stacked

I walk by these books almost every day, and I've often stopped and looked at the rows of books going all the way back. I just finally got around to taking a picture of it this afternoon.

Maybe I should have tried it from the other side?

Alright, I was in a rush and didn't think to walk around to the other side. Some other time, maybe. But not for this blog, of course.

Day 19--Signs of Life

It's been downright pleasant the past few days, and is usually the case, any amount of warm weather makes the daffodils start sprouting. It must not take much for them to get going, since it's only been a couple days. And I think it's supposed to cool off again this weekend, so they'll be gone just like that.

Basically, if there is actually reincarnation, I wouldn't want to come back as a daffodil.

But isn't the contrast of the bright green against the bleakness of everything else pretty cool?

Day 18--...and the dead keep it

Why on earth would anyone decide that our sorting department needs to be protected by chicken wire? I mean, it's not like the books are going to rise up some day and need to be held back, lest they break out and destroy us all. And the sorters aren't all that rowdy either. So what's the deal?

By the by, the black border isn't something I added, but is the actual door frame. I didn't bother to try and balance the light coming through the window with the ambient light in the room I was in.

Day 17--Duck!

What can I say. Ducks amuse me and intrigue me.

I went for a bike ride today and found this rather large and imposing specimen preening in the sunset. I'm sure he'd be excited if he knew he was on a photo blog.

Day 16--Time is What I Make It

According to this clock, it's always 3:55. Is it a.m. or p.m.? Who knows! The only reason I don't keep the clock running is that it needs some repairs--for some reason it slows after awhile, and eventually stops. So it got to me more trouble than it was worth, so I just let it stop until I actually get it fixed. And that will be....well, some day. For now, it just makes for a cool decoration. And it's fun to confuse people!

Day 15--Macro Kitty

I hadn't planned on doing another shot of a cat, let alone Chip again, but George was busy sleeping. I wanted to use my macro lens, since I opted not to use one of the macro shots from the Botanical Gardens. So I found Chip staring at something out the window, and took this shot. I quite like it. A little different than the way I usually shoot the cats. I promise to either use another cat or no cats whatsoever tomorrow.

Day14--Things Are Looking Up

I think this is probably directly influenced by the time I've spent at icanhascheezburger the past few days. Not often am I directly inspired to go shoot something, but with the subject matter so close at hand, it was pretty easy this time.

I think I probably tend to give Chip the short end of the straw when taking pictures of the cats, though that might be because she doesn't sit still for too long. But I managed to catch her this morning staring up at something on the wall. Or maybe it was the ceiling. Hard to tell for sure, but she was transfixed long enough for me to do my thing.

She really is quite pretty, I think. And she does a good job of playing up the 'cute' thing to keep me from getting too mad at her. I suspect she knows how to work me over pretty well by now.
