Yours Truly
Nothing to take photos of lately, since a knee injury has me house bound, and I'm sick of photographing my house. Surgery this week ... Arrgghh!
Pink Striped Clematis
I am sorry for the flower shots, but I haven't been much inspired lately ... just a bit of a dry spell, I hope.
The Feminine Mystique
Well, my newly-operated-upon LEFT knee was doing great until I fell two weeks ago and majorly sprained my RIGHT ankle, but not before I crash landed on the aforementioned knee. Now I can hardly walk, what with both legs all messed up from injuries! But enough self-pity for now.
Anyway, feeling quite horrid, I decided to try another self portrait. I posted this on another site, with a little less cropped off the bottom, because I got some nasty emails about it ... and I wasn't 'showing' anything!
Anyway, of course the 'feminine mystique" is much more than this. However, I like to consider myself feminine AND mysterious, lol! And besides ~ I just liked the name for this photo, which is not much of a photo anymore. This shot was taken through two foggy-wet shower doors and then PS'd (obviously). Noise in the image is intentional. Phew! Sorry for the mumble jumble!
A Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Arrested on charges of unemployment,
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge’s wife called up the district attorney
She said you free that brown eyed man
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man
Flying across the desert in a TWA,
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin’ thirty miles en route to Bombay.
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
There’s been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That’s what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn’t make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
That’s why your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
Two, three count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
Rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man

My New Car!
Not the best photo, but I wanted to post it anyway. My new 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited! She talks!
Going from a Ford Expedition to this is like going from driving a house to driving a space ship!
Waiting On The Water Slide, Way Up High!
Wish I could have gotten the entire water slide in the shot, but I was in a corner, shooting over a chain-link fence. Bummer I couldn't get closer. The noise doesn't bother me ... too much. ;)
