Quirk

176:365




177:365




178:365 Weather bomb




179:365




180:365 "I had a brthday prde. We wint bowling."

I chose the above shot even though this one better embodies the spirit of this week's prompt:






181:365 I broke one of my Mom's wine glasses and felt devastated.




182:365 The last day she was 5.

With tomorrow's shot, we're half way there. This week's prompt: stuck in the middle

What do Blondie and my pictures have in common?

I set "pest" as last week's prompt, but, instead, everywhere I looked this week I saw parallel lines.



169:365 The white-knuckle drive home from the grocery store.




170:365




171:365 Globe and male




172:365 Varsity hockey from the cheap seats, although Len much prefers this shot of the t-shirt canon:






173:365




174:365 This tree is in the park across the street and I can shoot it while standing on my front door step. Last week, it framed a striped pink sunset in order to make it as picture of the day. Other days, it's come very close to winning. When I saw this, however, there was no doubt in my mind that it would trump every other shot that day.




175: 365 OK, so it's cheap to take a picture of your TV, but, c'mon, how could I resist? It's no wonder my daughter is an imaginative child. BTW, 10 points if you can guess which pests are the stars of this retro show?

This week's prompt: quirk, and it's going to be good because Misty is a-comin' to town and we're going to shoot a bit of quirk together.

Wherein the zoom lens and the birdfeeder start paying rent

162:365




163:365 Epiphany




164:365 Etude for furnace vent, balloon and two cameras




165:365 In the shadow of Lord Beaverbrook




166:365




167:365 OK, can anyone tell me who this fellow is? We have a # of them outside the back door. Huzzah for the new birdfeeder.




168:365

Let's see, where are we at? I find that by the time I've uploaded 7 photos, I don't have much to say. So how be I just give us all a new prompt? Oh I don't know. There's a mouse scuttling about my kitchen as I type right now, so let's try pest.

Resolutions or waffling?

155:365 This fellow's only resolution was to make it to the New Year. I think he failed.




156:365 Remember that shaped bokeh trick I told you about last week? Here is my better effort with it.




157:365 This is my New Year's Eve shot, although I was tempted by this funnier one:



or this one of the girl actually making it 'til midnight:






158:365 At the Lieutenant-Governor's New Year's Levy, Ganong Chicken Bones are hard to resist.




159:365 I wish I'd had time to adjust the light but I still like the way the lines on the sandbox roof spiral out from this guy's head.




160:365




161:365 Len at his noon-hour pick-up game.

And while I'm here, I think I'm going to change #153, the doll skating shot in the last post for this one:



There's also an October shot that I'm going to change at some point. Clearly my resolution prompt has lead to nothing but waffling.

So, another week done and a brand new year to work with. For those of you who like to look at pretty pictures, my friend Dani has just started her second round of Project 365. Can you believe someone would do this twice? It was Dani's original go-round that inspired me to do this, so I'm happy I can now look at her great shots on a daily basis--or every couple of weeks when I can clear time to get to them.

As for a prompt, how about routine?
