What a great day at the Houston Zoo!!! These flowers were great! Now if I could just spend some time sorting the pictures I took!

205:365


I did the b/w on purpose this time!! But the sky was too beautiful not to have color. What a great looking morning!!

Isn't that just beautiful!

203:365

Beautiful flowers ... I know, check your film!

201_365

What is so funny about this shot is that I have been so busy the last few weeks I have not stopped everyday to take my picture but on this day ... the busiest ever! .. I have a shot! Thank you to my sweet friends that pulled me through the day! I could not have done any of this without you!!

200:365

Walking 3 1/2 miles ... I see lots of beautiful flowers. Again, if I had checked the film in my hipstamatic this would be in color!

199:365

The beginning of the final preparations ...

198:365


Our neighbors were on a mission trip to Haiti and we realized they would have no one to welcome them home this year! So we made them signs ... well I drew the outlines and Riley colored them in. He did such a great job!! Welcome home neighbors!!! We missed you!

Three years ago on this day I met a guy that I thought could use a friend ... little did I know that he was the absolute sweetest guy I had ever met in my life. He did need a friend ... and now I am proud to say he is my best friend. And in five days will be my partner in the rest of this life ... I love you Sweet Man. Thank you for putting up with me even though you didn't have too!

195:365

Hipstamatic ... what a great app!!! Especially when I am behind on pictures and it is beautiful outside. I totally forgot to check my film though ... so b/w it is!

193:365

Full moon and fireworks .. well they didn't happen together but at least they were both beautiful!

Jason filled the bird feeder for me this morning and then by the time we all got home ... about 1/5th of it was gone! The birds are so hungry these days!! We get told all the time that we are in their way when we are on the porch having dinner.

190:365


Proof of rain .. and another way cool shot from Hipstomatic!

189:365


Hipstomatic app .. Tigger is so cute when she is ready for bed!

188:365


So I didn't take this shot today .. I modified it today. This app is so cool!!!

187:365


Another ipic at Chickfila. THEN played with the app again!!!

186:365


How many little guys do you see carrying their skate board to the skate park? He cracked me up!!!

185:365


Another try with the sun and the fountain. The glow at the start of the columns was wonderful but didn't come out so great here.

184:365


So the trend begins ... iphone pics!! I was actually around for the sun rising this morning and it was so pretty. Could have done without the power lines and poles but I didn't think the police man coming down the road behind me would be too happy to see me crossing the 4 lane road with my phone in the air just to miss them. Then I found an app ... not the best interpretation but an attempt.

183:365


I have taken so many shots of this location .. but never with a phone camera that looked this nice!
Beautiful afternoon ... an the water was working in my favor!

182:365


Sad to say ... this was all I was able to "finish" this day. But finally DONE!!!

Me and these guys have been puttin' the miles on! Stress can be a really interesting motivational tool ... 5 miles in 2 days ... looking for 3 tomorrow!

180:365

Slug ...

A day to lay someone to rest is a sad day for us ... but a joyful day in the heavens!

Sweet flowers that the wind did not destroy by dusk.


There is still a glimmer of hope ... you just have to believe and imagine.

178:365


First day in "iworld" as I began calling it. Notice I have 79 unread emails .. it got up to 150 before I had a free moment to get together!

177:365

I would show you a picture of the rest of the cake ... but he was eaten and enjoyed by the crew at work. And this was the beginning of the blackberry down fall of mine. So the pictures I had taken from my phone for a couple of days ... gone! May they rest in peace!

176:365

The conclusion of Cake Decorating Class 1 ... fish cake. So much fun to play with icing again!!

173:365


This was a busy day. The Channelview/Sheldon Metro Go Texan Committee that I am on hosted a fish fry today to raise money for our local school kiddos. We happen to get there a little early and I found a few things to take some pictures of before the day got too far underway. This was such an interesting bloom on a weed!

Then I saw this guy!

He was telling me to go away because I was messing up his fishing!

So I left him alone and started walking back to the covered area ... HOT day! Do you ever just watch the ground while you walk and see what is there? I did .. wonder what happened when this top was pitched?

Then I found these ... awe!

And since the next few days are a blur ... I tried to make up for a few days with no shots.

172:365


Tomorrow this will be a fish cake! Use your imagination!! Do you not see a fishy in there???
