Magnet

Day 147



I think of this wooden refrigerator magnet as a Tiki statue, not unlike the one that caused so much trouble for the Bradys on their trip to Hawaii. I may be completely wrong about what this magnet is, but even so, magnet + macro lens = today's photo.

Mega-Picks

Day 142



A funny thing happened on the way to taking my shot of seven for the PhotoChallenge.org challenge. I took the lid of the container of multi-colored toothpicks, and saw this. Sometimes, seven is not enough.

Flame

Day 109



The weather was perfect for the first backyard campfire of the season. Under the moon and the constellations, the air was cool, the beer was cooler, and the fire was warm.

Turn a Square

Day 94



Continuing the entropy theme for April, I took this shot at a seemingly unused barn that I pass by all the time.

Dismantle

Day 92



For the month of April, there is a new challenge from PhotoChallenge.org . This time it is not colors, but rather it is "entropy". So, as best as I can keep up with it, look for shots this month that show disorder, randomness, and devolution. Today's shot is of our mantle, which is over 150 years old. It is rough and split, with random bits of metal that it acquired from its time as part of a barn.

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.
