Fisheye fail
What's the fun of having a fisheye lens when your dog won't cooperative for a fishy nose shot?
Another old one from June:

Use of texture
Texture on a shot of my husband's bamboo plant:

I still have so many photos from 2008 that I haven't edited yet. I'm going to try to start doing a few a day. This is from back in June.

Knitting
I've been on a knitting kick lately.
I've mostly been on a hat kick, but I've made a few felted items too.
Those of you who saw a Poland Spring vending machine in my photo yesterday were correct:
I just thought it was kind of funny to have this beautiful museum building with a vending machine plopped in the entryway. But at least it's a Poland Spring one in the Poland Spring museum!

Poland Spring Preservation Park
The chapel that I posted a couple of weeks ago is on the grounds of Poland Spring Preservation Park. You've probably all had a Poland Spring water or two in your life, huh? The building on the right in this photo is the original bottling plant. I posted a photo of the smaller building(where the original source of the water was) on the left back in October. The Source
I liked getting right next to the building with my fisheye and looking up at the tower.
Here's a wider shot. Can you see what's in the entryway?

Time
Time.
It sure does fly. A recently scanned photo of DH and DS from 14 years ago.
Between looking at this photo and joining Facebook a couple of days ago and finding some high school and college friends, I'm feeling old and nostalgic. Speaking of Facebook, why does it make me nervous to request people as friends? I am such a weirdo.

Redecorating
Here's what DH and I spent our weekend doing--painting our living room. I love it. It looks just like coffee ice cream. So much that I just want to lick the walls.
This all started as a plan just to move the television from the family room to the "formal" living room, which was rarely used but is much roomier, with furniture that's in better shape. Then we decided to get a new TV. We went with one of the big LED ones, so it didn't fit in the current entertainment center. So we went to the furniture store to buy a new TV stand. And before I left the store I ended up ordering this set for the living room:
It will be here in about six weeks. So we decided to paint the room before it gets here. Below is the current set, which is kind of great-grandma-ish. It will go in the basement TV room where the kids hang out when the new stuff gets here. The dusty rose (gag) valance I had there before painting is gone now. I loved that so much when we had it done 10 years ago and now I hate it. When the new set gets here I'm sure I'll be posting another photo and asking for advice on a new window treatment.
So the project that should have cost $0 has become pretty costly, but I love my new coffee ice cream walls.
