Better Than One
Day 30
A retired railroad spike reflects on itself. We picked this up years ago from Brunswick, MD, when my son was heavy into trains. It got shiny after we sanded off years of rust.

Day 29
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." (G. Marx) I can't believe that I am only 29 days into this and already I am running out of ideas. Gotta keep on keepin' on.

28 Days Later
28 January 2008
I did not have to go far to get this shot since this is half of a sign that hangs on the front of my house. I'd show the other half of the sign but for fear that all my groupies and fans would stalk me at home.

Flare
25 January 2008
What's Friday without a little flare? Yes, I realize I am in a bit of rut with blue glass, but at least this time I made black and white so it is not so obvious.

Encounter

Just realized I have something of a space theme going this week. This would be another good candidate for "Guess what it really is".

Once
22 January 2008
This moon hangs on the wall in my laboratory. It is actually a brownish/clayish color, but I used the remote flash through my wonderful blue bottle to give it this look.

Zooomr is Dooown
Zooomr is having some growing pains as they roll-out a new release. If the previous pictures don't come back soon, I'll host them somewhere else until Zooomr is up. I will also be hosting new photos somewhere else until uploading is restored.

This saxophone was very old when I bought it at a yard sale in 1988. What this picture fails to capture is the smell.

Not far from home is an old stone barn next to a truck graveyard. I was only slightly trespassing to get this shot.

Hammer Time

I found a grand new place to take some shots. On a related note, I am officially jonesing for a good macro lens now.

Shelter From the Storm

The first snow of winter is always exciting. This nest sits in the cherry tree in front of our house.

Feel free to guess what this really is. I'll give you a hint - I'd never seen one before I visited England.

Mugger

These pewter things hang in our kitchen, but I'm not sure what they are. They are like bottomless mugs (not the free refills kind). They caught my eye when the just risen sun was touching them this morning.

Waiting For Spring
14 January 2008
This was not the shot I started out to get. It just kind of happened. Its probably too early for thoughts of spring, anyway.

I am not really a big soda drinker anymore, but sometimes I will indulge in the pause that refreshes.

Rod Box

This is a replacement rod box for a Bowflex Power Pro. The wild lighting comes via a remote Minolta 5600 HS flash which is hiding behind the box.

New Name - Same Great Taste
You may have noticed that this blog is not called A Keeper Today today. From hence forth, the name is Roth 365. (Yes, I realize there are 366 days this year - just liked Roth 365 better)
The mission, however, remains the same. Each and every day I will take a picture worth sharing.

Snowbot

With the unseasonably warm weather, this is as close as I could get to a snow picture. This guy sits on my desk from the solstice to the equinox. He has a plan.

I was going to call this "Three For Tuesday". This is something I've been meaning to try for a while. I am not totally thrilled with the result, so expect another version of this at some point.

Frogs aren't the only wooden animals in the house. Here is some chainsaw art that we got last Oktoberfest.

The Edge

This is one of the three wooden frogs in our wooden frog collection. Expect to see him again and the others in future shots. At least the glass that he sits upon is not blue.

I realize it is only day 4 and this is my second blue glass shot. Just trying to be optimistic.

Opener

This is a can-opener that I accidentally brought home with me from a friend's house. I took the shot as part of a Zooomr photo assignment.

This was a bottle of meade that our hippie-mountain friends gave us for Christmas. Didn't care much for the meade, but I love the bottle.

This is a small green table that sits on the deck. I adjusted the tempature in Photoshop to make it feel more like January.
