Tired And Cranky! Go away ... no, wait a minute ...
Touche, touche
You're right, there's nothing I can say
I am a wishy,washy girl
But it's a wishy washy world
Go away
No,wait a minute
I want out
But I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute
Ces La Vie, La Vie
That's what you get when you get me
I have the right to change my mind
At least a couple hundred times
Go away
No, wait a minute
I want out
But I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute
I need some help
I'm not quite myself
And lately I'm a nervous wreck
My whole world has changed
And the reason I'm strange
Is I love you and baby that scares me to death
Go away
No,wait a minute
I want out
But I want in it
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute
I'm all confused but I admit it
Go away
No, wait a minute

Flying Angel
A carved, wooden angel in my home.
Stripes & Shadows
To me, these colors are wonderful.
No other PS on this other than the signature and drop shadow frame.

Things
This was supposed to be my June 1st PAD, but I posted the wrong shot. I like this image better, because I included the window, and I like the way the shadows fall on the shade.

Copper On Wood
This is an 'arial' view of a copper, hammered, hot food trivet against the kitchen table.

Something Is Eating My Tea Roses!
These roses smell Heavenly, even if it's obvious something is having them for meals! Where's a ladybug when you need one?

A Chair In The 'Screen' Room
C'mon. Step in...
Just about everyone who has visited our home seems to like hanging out in the 'screen' room. I just love the way the light plays around the room from morning till night.

Death Of A Bunny
I found this poor little fella on my property. He had no visible injury that I could detect. And he looked young and quite healthy, except for the fact that he was stone-cold dead ~ the victim, I suspect, of a car that was faster than he was. Poor, poor little thing. Life is so fragile...

Boris, Post Mortem
Rest In Peace, my little pet. This photo is one of my PAD shots, but in the PAD gallery it is resized. I've posted it here in its original size, for anyone who was wondering about the image quality of Canon's new S500 compact digicam. It fits in your jeans pocket!

KIDDING!
Geez! A button I found and stuck on the inside of my car visor.

Summer Shoes
See the dirt on the floor? That's why I make everyone leave their shoes at the door! Do they comply? Of COURSE not!

Scary Star Wars Villain Guy ...
Meet Darth Maul from Star Wars.
I was attempting to get that "just stepped out of the shadows into your face" kinda look ...
I guess the final image will be somewhere between the two, when I get around to it.
Harlequin 3
Just playing around with these pretty, life-size masks. I left the shine on the face here, because the mask in fact is very shiny. As seen on some of the other photos, I used a CP or PS'd the shine off.
I think there's a ghost in my house ...

They only last a few days. I got this one the day after it opened. It looks like a featherbed for a bee to me! POTD, May 5, 2003, BestFoto.com.

Pink Clematis
Or perhaps I should call it "Barely Pink Clematis".
Tiffany Colors
I love the creamy, opaque colors.
My Respite ...
Sitting in the dark, playing with my cameras, music, computer and photoshop.
The glittery stuff on the left wall is my sombrero ... but that's another photo ...
Don't worry ... be happy!
She Almost Looks Real
My mother loves to collect dolls. This is one of them.
Blonde In Black And White
My Sombrero!
Doesn't everyone have one? I plan on having some photo fun with this hat! More to follow ... maybe ... (smile). This shot was very less-than-perfect, so I attempted some adjustments in Photo Shop to hopefully give it a 'vintage' look.
Cute Kitty
This is an old shot of Spencer. I'm really grasping at straws here, lol.
Soft, Morning Light
Oh, geez. This pitcher again. I can't stop taking photos of it. Reduced and despeckled with PS filter to give it a creamier look.
Charm Me
Sing to me, read to me, tell me a story. Make me laugh. Take me some place special, wonderful and new. Show me you. Be my valentine. Happy Valentines Day!
Madness!
OK, OK, so I was a little screwy today when I did this. It rained all day. I never mind the rain.
The Ridiculously High Cost Of Printing
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. ;)
First pick of the summer ..
Fresh picked tomatos from my garden.
Aloe Vera ... the healing plant ...

Or is it an alien monster, crawling along the window ledge?
It looks a bit prehistoric, doesn't it?
