The Dude loves to be on this ottoman in front of the wood stove. I love it when he curls up in the middle so that, from above, it looks like a circle in a circle. I have been waiting for him to do it, while my camera was nearby since I began this project this year. He finally did it today. I had to stand on a stool and hold my camera way up in the air and snap photos without looking through the viewfinder. Glad I got some that were in focus. Later I went to my grandparents to celebrate their 61st anniversary (which was on the 5th), by eating lots of Chinese food and delicious deserts. It was a good day.

Picture today is a little rubber ducky that Santa left in my stocking. He is one of those stress relieving toys, so you can squeeze him and his head bulges out. Entertaining and he looks cute on my desk.

The Dude. Again. He is sitting on the foot rest in front of our wood stove. One of his favorite places.

Decided to try and take a picture of Nutty today. She is not quite so cooperative with the posing as Dude is. In fact, it almost seems like she is intentionally trying to prevent me from getting a good picture. She will wait until I get the focus locked in and then just as I am hitting the shutter she will turn her head. This picture is actually the first frame I took. After that, she knew what I was up to and kept moving or turning her head. My Nutty girl.

Over Christmas my grandmother gave me some old family photos on some Kodak Ektachrome and Agfachrome slides to have converted to digital pictures. I saw the box today and thought I would hold one up to a light source and take a picture. This is one held in front of our window. I think they pictures are from early to mid 1960’s. Now that I remembered about them I will have to see about having them converted to digital format the proper way, but for the purposes of my photo of the day project I liked this.
