Congratulations on 7 months or more!

212/365 Hidden Bee

You have to look close but there is a bee with some pollen on it in the center of this beautiful flower.  Happy 7 months or more to everyone!

211/365 Roadside Sunflowers

I've seen these for a while and finally stopped and got this shot.  Not really what I wanted but it will have to do for now.

210/365 Happy Flare Friday!

Thought I would post my first Happy Fence Friday, but it became Happy Flare Friday!  HFF everyone.  sooc.

209/365 Squared

I like the pattern and the iridescence of this gift bag.

208/365 Crooked Smile

I'm still a little swollen so the smile is a little crooked.  I'm not in any pain and the dentures are fitting great.  Thanks everyone!

207/365 Pearly White Smile

Made it through the dental visit without much of a problem.  This is my pain reliever of choice, ibuprofen.  It just seems to work better than anything I've tried.  I'm just a little swollen but ice packs and these have been all I've needed.  Sorry I didn't have a shot of my new pearly whites but it won't be long!  I'll catch up with everyone soon!  Thank you all.

206/365 I'll Smile Tomorrow

Having the last few teeth in my hillbilly head removed tomorrow at 12pm.  Should have a better smile then.

205/365 Home Grown

My Brother's tomatoes came in.  They're delicious.

204/365 Rusty

Rusty gate latch.  I sort of like the dof on this one.

A mill at work.

202/365 Hot Day

Outside temperature per my Wife's car's gauge.  Heat index near 115 F.  Hope your cool!

201/365 Key Fob Trick

Put it against your head and you will extend the range that it works considerably.  Read about it at 4 Stupid Tech Tricks, Tested and tried it today with surprising results.  It worked!

200/365 Tilted Water Park

I couldn't come up with a clever name for this tilt-shift effect of the new water park.  Congratulations on 200 or more, everyone!

199/365 Aquarium

This first shot was the best I got all day at the aquarium.  Most of the others were blurred.  We had a great time though!  sooc.

198/365 Ready For The Road

My Wife's car is all cleaned up and ready for vacation.  We're just sticking sort of close to home.  We're going to the Newport Aquarium tomorrow.  The car is a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, 4 cyl, auto, with a/c.  It gets 26 mpg on the road with the a/c on.  I don't believe it has 90k miles on it yet.  sooc.

197/365 Sparks!

Saw this being done at work and thought it would make a great POTD.  So here you go!

196/365 Something Completely Different!

Bet your surprised! xD  These were by work.  I've been waiting for them to bloom and some have.

Stopped by the community garden today.  Finally caught a hummingbird.  Some more in my stream.

194/365 Moth

Saw this moth on the back door.

193/365 Thunderstorm Cool Down

High temperature before the storm was 96 F with a heat index close to 115 F.  It is now 75 F and we're under a flash flood watch, though we are in no danger.  Glad for the slight cooling.  Reflection and drops on the windshield of my Wife's car.

This is a picture of the picture we used in my Dad's obituary.  He died seven months ago, December 8th, 2010.  This photo was taken at the Marine Corp reunion he attended  on September 30th, 1995 in San Diego, California.  He was 75 then.

187/365 Brandi Again

Had to go with old reliable again.

186/365 Library Additions

Picked these up at some of the various indoor flea markets, called "Peddler's Mall", we have.  The "Understanding Photography" was just a dollar.  You can see the price paid for the others.

185/365 Pizza

Wife had to work today until 9pm so I just ordered a pizza from Papa Johns for dinner tonight.  And yes, it was pretty good!

183/365 Learn Spanish

One of the things I've wanted to do is learn Spanish.  I've procrastinated long enough.  I picked up this beginning Spanish book to get things started.  With the free time I have now I should be able to get into some classes that I have looked into in the past.
