The Daily Post (July - December 2012) : I'm half way through my sixth year of taking daily photos. I'm still taking the photos, but am finding it difficult to have the time each day to post them. So, while I may lag behind, I usually try and catch up at some point.

I had to attempt a shot of the roses the hubster got me last week before they're gone. (October 25, 2009)

"A rose is a rose is a rose."
~~ Gertrude Stein

Ashley helped me with my daily today. She said her grass skirt looked like corn stalks -- and decided to peek out from behind them and give me this pose. Thanks for the help Ashley! (August 31, 2009)

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
~~ Carl W. Buechner

Play Ball?

This was all I could see of Progressive Field when I got to work this morning. The sun was actually shining above all that fog, and reflecting off the filthy windows in my office.... but I thought it was a neat shot anyway. To check out the view I normally see each day, click here. (March 24, 2010)

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
~~ Rogers Hornsby

When Larry said he wanted to go to the auto show today, I thought I'd have to take a break from my Irish-themed photos .... until I spotted a shamrock on this 1931 Alfa-Romeo Monza. :-)
(March 5, 2010)

“Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it."
~~ Anonymous

Last week I did Valentine's photos -- this week it's flower photos. Luckily, the big guy got me a mixed bouquet. :-)
(February 18, 2009)

"Flowers are love's truest language."
~~ Park Benjamin

It was a rainy day with a cold front moving in -- and the s-word was even mentioned in the forecast -- so I brought some of my tulips inside to brighten my day.

Children and flowers .... children and flowers .... seems that's all I use for my dailies lately. Oh well, only one more week until April 15, and then hopefully my life will get back to normal. :-)
(April 8, 2010)

"Life isn't a tiptoe through the tulips."
~~ Shannon Hoon

The Unknown Smugger? :-)

Here's my contribution to the self-portrait challenge. I am so NOT comfortable in front of the camera, but I thought I'd give it a try. Originally, I was going to crop the photo so just the glasses were left, but decided to let you see a little bit of me.

It was wonderful to see so many of you participated! It was great to put faces to a lot of the names here in our community. So here's a big Thank You to Janet for the challenge -- it was a fun idea! (January 9, 2011)

“Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.”
~~ Bernice Johnson Reagon

Another quick shot with the point and shoot......

That's becoming quite a habit with me, isn't it?

Anyway, I noticed this scene as I was waiting for my bus and wondered about the story behind it. There was no one around -- just these clothes all along the benches. Was it a homeless person's clothesline? Even though it was snowing? hmmmmm .... guess I'll never really know. (January 27, 2011)

“The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
~~ Oscar Wilde

I thought I'd give you all something to smile about to start your week. :-)

This is actually another photo from the birthday party on Saturday ..... guess we can tell what he thinks of parties ..... (January 24, 2010)

"A cat, after being scolded, goes about its business. A dog slinks off into a corner and pretends to be doing a serious self-reappraisal."
~~ Robert Brault

Trying to get home ...

I snapped this shot while waiting for my bus. By the time it arrived, I imagine I looked like Frosty the Snowman, I was so covered in snow. But I was one of the lucky ones and got out of downtown before rush hour -- when people sat for hours and hours, going no where. Our son's normal half hour commute took over five hours. Winter in Cleveland -- gotta love it! ;-)
(December 8, 2010)

"Winter is nature's way of saying, 'Up yours.'"
~~ Robert Byrne

Ice ... which according to the forecasters, is heading our way. It's snow now, turning to sleet and freezing rain, and then back to snow -- with the possibility of substantial ice accumulation. Of course, it could be worse and we could be getting the feet of snow that's falling elsewhere.....
(January 31, 2011)

“O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
~~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

As I've said before, being part of the daily community helps keep me motivated to try and improve my photography -- and I love getting ideas from so many of you and your photos.

So ....... remember the photo of corks my nephew, Greg, took? Well, today I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration Greg! (January 21, 2011)

"The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box."
~~ Henri Cartier Bresson

The Godfather

Another one for the scavenger hunt. Larry has always felt like part of the Irish mafia, so he was the perfect person to use for my interpretation of "The Godfather". (February 28, 2010)

"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
~~ Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando)

Lucky for me I had these candy hearts, because I had nothing else for a daily.

But of course, it is less than one week 'til Valentine's Day, and I'm sure you all knew this was coming, right? :-)
(February 8, 2011)

"Jumping at several small opportunities may get us there more quickly than waiting for one big one to come along."
~~ Hugh Allen

The leaves may no longer be on the trees, but they still give us some lovely color. (November 3, 2010)

"Colors are the smiles of nature."
~~ Leigh Hunt

Edging toward 100 .....

I know so many in the U.S. are suffering with high temperatures, so I'm sure this is a familiar sight to a lot of you. We were actually around 95 degrees (in the shade), but by the time I got out of the pool and got my camera, a thunderstorm had rolled through .... cooling it down to a balmy 90 or so. (July 18, 2011)

“It ain't the heat; it's the humility.”
~~ Yogi Berra

Wishful thinking?

I was out shopping today and couldn't resist getting Maeve some rain boots. Spring is on it's way, right?
:-)
(January 13, 2011)

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
~~ Anne Bradstreet

My hibiscus is blooming indoors. Forget spring .... come on summer! (February 17, 2009)

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
~~ Albert Camus

Hope all the Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day! (May 8, 2011)

"Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother."
~~ Ann Taylor

Maeve was picking mums and picked one for Mom, and one for each of her grandmas. We put them in water to keep them fresh and when I spotted them today, I thought "daily photo?" :-)
(October 21, 2010)

"Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons."
~~ Ruth Ann Schabacker

We had another scorcher today, so my choices were: another pool photo, or one of my roses. The roses won. (August 31, 2010)

"Where flowers bloom so does hope."
~~ Lady Bird Johnson
