Stackers...

Let me start out by saying we were there to see the 3D version of 'The Lion King', but thanks to some maniacal cross promoting mastermind, the movie theater was at the mall.  Now add to that the strange alchemy that makes small pieces of plastic turn into magnets for any child in a 1 mile radius and 'The Lion King' was suddenly just our first stop on the tour.  The Lego Store was a true highlight; bazillions of tiny little pieces of plastic that drew my 9 year old in faster than I could say, well, anything.  I am still trying to recover from the $299 price tag on the 'totally amazing and absolutely necessary' big box of rattling pieces.  It is good to know that when his mother started to choke after one glance at the price tag, my child had the good sense to step away from the box.  $20 dollars and a Harry Potter Quidditch set later we were off.  All in all, a good day.  October 1st

Posies...

No, they are not mine.  No, I am not jealous.  Yes, I am so happy for my friend who did get them.  Well, two out of three of those statements are completely true.  September 30th

It creeps closer...

It isn't even October yet but Halloween is upon us.  The candy is out, the pumpkins are waiting to go under the knife and children are testing out their costume choices.  Well, mine was at Wendy's this evening.  Got to love the face painter that puts black face paint all over your child's eye.  Yes that was a bit of sarcasm you detected... Philip loved it though.  Wendy's chicken sandwich with a little Skeletor on the side!

Photoshop effects added for an extra eerie feeling.  The eerie carpet effect provided by Wendy's.  September 29th

Lonely town...

Not really.  I was actually getting quite concerned because this little town is going to be the backdrop for a few photo sessions in the next month and I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to get any images without people in each setup.  Well, people who weren't suppose to be there.  Um... people that I didn't want to be there.  People are allowed to be there but I will be trying to see only the people I bring there...  You know what I mean.  I loved this image though.  What do you think?  September 28th

Swirlies...

Ever tell yourself that you have to save something because it is too beautiful to throw away.  You know, that you can clean it up and restore it and love it forever and ever ... and ever.  Me too!  Ummm... do you actually ever get around to doing any of those things, I mean, besides holding on to the 'priceless' object?  Wow, me either!  But I will...  September 27th

Witch's hard hat?...

Don't ask, I couldn't tell you, it just caught my eye.  It was like the wicked witch had been working construction and got caught in the rain.  I'm melting, I'm melting...  Don't groan, I know you see it now too.  I have already warned you, I am very easily amused.  September 26th

Soft and fuzzy...

Yes, I know they are weeds.  The bee didn't seem to mind and I didn't either.  I think they look a bit like baby's breath's wild cousin that got too many tattoos and won't take off the leather vest at the dinner table.  Oh man, those LA Ink commercials stick with you.  September 25th
