more days, more pictures

i'm only on day 16 and i'm already having a hard time coming up with ideas....
and i'm 8 days behind posting here as well? i didn't realize i was so behind....
ok i'm not that behind...my last day was day 11
allllright
so....
day 12
i finally got a chance to take pictures of wonder lake
i don't know why i hadn't sooner.....but its the reason i wanted to get our house....we came to see it in the fall, with the changing leaves and what not....gorgeous
this was around 6pm, just getting home from work

day 13
i was uninspired, and we were supposed to go to the batting cages where i was going to get some pictures of lou batting, then we were supposed to go for a walk, but that didn't happen either.....so i just walked around the house, and took pictures of our old trees again

looks pretty at dusk like that, no?  i really love the old wood sheds that our backyard neighbor has, you can't see them though....

day 14-
yet again feeling uninspired...
this is fruit loop.....louie brought one home for me one night after he was taping one of the dance competitions....apparently the parents and such buy them and throw them up on stage when the performances are done....

he's hanging on my bass stand with my bass at the moment.....he's a cutie

day 16-
we had a happy hour year end celebration at houlihann's yesterday.....which means free drinks free food free beer and such...so i ordered a sam adams, and it came in one of the super special sam adams glasses! score! so i didn't take my purse in with me, so i spent the majority of the time trying to figure out how i was going to smuggle it out...luckily we never got around to giving lena her 15 year gift, so i just put the glass in that bag! ;)

day 17
today
we made it to the batting cages today....waited a while to use one, there was a dad with 2 girls there using the one slow pitch cage, and the other one was busted....the 2 girls there had on some converse with neon laces and it looked neat....they were watching their dad hit some balls (when the one girl hit the ball, it stung her hands so she had her dad finish off)

we went for a walk and i took some pictures down by the lake, but it was getting late and dark, so not that many came out....turns out i had already taken my picture of the day this afternoon....

i still want to post all my outtakes from all my "photoshoots", but i don't want to use up all my space here and stuff....i'll have to post them to my flickr or something and post the link and what not



i'm really enjoying taking pictures all the time...and i'm having fun playing with the different settings and and focusing and everything...i just need to take more and read more and learn more and then eventually i'll get it down good and actually know what i'm doing....trying to take pictures tonite, i played with the manual settings and actually got a pretty good shot off and then i tried it on one of the automatic settings and it didn't come out so good...but the next time i played with the aperture and shutter speed, it didn't come out nearly as good as the first one...
ohwell
its a learning curve
