friday nights are "ordinary time" for my since hubby has started working weekend nights - but we were able to get dinner together before he went in and on my why home I spied a fountain that had some lights and decided this is an opportunity to play. I think I'll do more of these experiments in the future.

remember the hungry hungry hippo game? this guy was a hot hot hippo. hardly would he come up from the bottom of his cement pond - but I was able to capture this brief showing. Such intersting creatures. They look like they would just be kind of dumb and happy, harmless like my husky - but I guess they attack people.

no zoo today - so we drove around looking for churches to pose against the clouds. how do you pose a church? very carefully ...most of them are quite large.

This is one of my favorite shots to date - although it has not been as popular on flickr as some of my other shots. who knows why? Great Apes just cann't get enough respect!

aug 18 sat caterpillar hiding_2550

I have cheated and shot caterpillars several days - becuase I know they are there -but it is intersting every few days to see they are still around - if they have gotten bigger and such.....hopefully I'll see the butterflies they become also.

Doesn't this guy look like he has a frowny face? i think it's becuase I pulled a bunch of weeds in the garden today - and he was hiding under them - i moved him back to the parsley where he had been previuos days but I think he was happier in the weeds. sorry little guy.

aug 16 thurs hummingbirdl line

yeah - it would have been better to photograph him on a flower and in the daytime - but I wasn't home then and I needed a photo today I'm hoping to eventually catch a shot of him in our tree or near the feeder.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
