2012 photo of the day :: day 2

Today’s offering is a close up picture of a lamp that we recently purchased. There are 3 goosenecks that have aluminum “pom pom” shades. We put red light bulbs in the lamp to make it more of a background light. I thought the shades would make an interesting picture, and since I am still getting used to doing this photo of the day thing again and went almost all day without taking a picture, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take a picture of them.

2012 photo of the day :: day 1

I’m back! My 2011 photo of the day project sort of fell apart at the end of August (I did however successfully complete a photo of the day project for 2010). I definitely needed a break, but I really have missed photo of the day. So, I am back for 2012. We are having a nice relaxing New Year’s Day. We are hanging out with the critters, sitting by the wood stove and watching TV. Not a bad day in my opinion. I took a picture of the dude. I think he has missed posing for the camera. I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to 2012.

A picture of blackberries cooking away on the stove. I picked 12 cups of berries and I am making some Krem,. Basically cooking down the berries, straining them, adding some sugar and starch. Serve with some cream. It is also good over ice cream.
