Week 11, Outdoors 59

Look! No snow! Cheer!!

Week 11, Tree - 58

4 days ago on a whim, I took pictures of this little tree sitting on our kitchen table. I'm not really a plant person. I forget to water them. They tend to die because I overwater them. You get the picture? Well this little tree at one time was, I'm sorry to say, only watered when K.C. would come home from work. He works a few states away and came home once every 3 weeks or so. Okay, so not good. Yet the tree has survived. It hasn't flourished, but it's survived. Jump to now and for some reason, I've been keeping track of the water in this little tree for the last week or so. If you compare the pictures from the 9th to the ones I'm posting today, you'll actually see a change, can you guess what it is? Yeah, in only 4 days! (I closed the shade for better contrast, but the lighting in here still makes it a little blurry.)

Still can't tell? There are little leaves! New shoots growing. They weren't there on the 9th, I checked in my pics. Isn't that spiffy? I'm rather happy that this little tree is still willing to flourish, even in hardship, to become more beautiful. There's a lesson in there somewhere, I just know there is. ;)

Week 11, Jacque & Stuff - 57

What can I say? She was being sweet this morning.


This was a unique shot. I was getting the surreal effect of Jacque's Easter mask reflected in the van windshield.

Week 10, Tree Bits - 56

My neighbor had two of the trees in his yard destroyed today... I took pictures of the destruction, but I liked this one the best. Up-close and personal with mutilated branches.

Week 10, Self - 55

Here's an *I'm awake, but I don't want to go to work* picture...

As well as a *playing with the camera* picture...

Week 10, Tree - 54

K.C. has this small tree that I gather he's had for ages. I believe he's called it a fig tree in the past. I wanted to show how nice and green the leaves have been recently.

That and the gratuitous Jacque shot ;)

Week 10, Easter - 53

Easter at Wolf's place. There were more fighters there than there are at most fighter practice's I go to... Was pretty spiffy. Wish I could have fought, tho I suppose I should get out my armor and see if I can anyway. Fighter practice is this Thursday!

Jacque was helping me take some of these shots. She'd keep telling Dior (I think that's how you spell her name, pronounced Dire, like the band) to stay where she was so she could take a picture. :D

One of the things I really like about the video camera over the digital is the fact that it can take really close up shots from the same distance away as the digital, yet they come out so much better and really cool.
