What "What's This" is, plus...


Well, I got some interesting answers to my "What's This"...! Glue, fizzing water, water fountain, bottle in front of window screen, a bottle of something, bottle of infused tea, water bottle held in front of a screen... Thank you to all who guessed!

So, here is more of the cropped picture...

Yes, liquid in a fancy bottle, in front of a screen...

And here is the whole thing. I'd just filled my 'pretty bottle' with clear dish-washing liquid. It was still bubbling from being poured in, and looked so pretty, in a ray of sunlight. So I put it up on the window sill over the sink, to get more sunlight through it. For a *Photo Opp*!!! Just pretty... Then I thought of the "What's This"... And went with it.

Remember the 2 little tomatoes we were watching? Well, they finally ripened...

So we got together the makings for a BLT. Well, for two BLT's but I only show one.

And here is one!There are lots and lots of tomatoes, but all green. So, the way things are going, this may be it, for BLT's from our own tomatoes, this summer. :-) Yes Sandi, please send me your True Southern Recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes. Looks like we'll be trying some, this year. :-)

:-)The old Oak tree, which can be seen out my patio door. I love this old tree. Have no idea how long it's stood there, but we've been here for nearly 40 years and it was here when we came.

I like to take a picture of one particular thing, over the changing seasons.

I'll have to take one, out my front door... too. Even though electric {etc.} lines show, in that pic. -ugh- We don't notice them, day to day. But when we take a
picture, we do. Otherwise we must 'blank them out' or something.

We never put pictures of Grandchildren on the Net. But these are so fuzzy, that I think they're ok. 'Twas the youngest one's Birthday yesterday, and the first pic is of the frenzy of unwrapping. ,-) Needless to say, I've not mastered *action* shots with my camera yet!
The second pic is of him totally engrossed in a techy toy. The little screen is illuminating his face...

Now I have to download and crop all the Birthday Party pics and dispurse them to the family...

"Baby, it's cold outside!"


Click on pic, for larger view

The early morning sky, looking to the South... The tiny moon is in the branches, on the left side of the tree. But it's hard to see. :-( I still have to master the zoom setting. {Among a lot of things, which I still have to master.} I tried to capture snow flakes falling, the other day. By reading the instructions and trying to change settings. But it was "a bust." So, I'm back to use of simple Automatic Setting. But I was given a new camera, to have the ability to do different settings and get different photo effects. {Like showing the moon, in the proper size. But still able to be seen clearly.} -sigh-

Yes, I want to -sigh- and give up. But I don't want to either. Grrrr...
I will keep trying to learn!!!

Baby, it's cold outside! :-) Top line was the time, 7:20am. Middle line was inside temp, 65.4F. And the bottom line was the outside temp, - 1.5F.

The sun is shining and it's crystal clear, still. The snow looks like some *mad baker* covered everything with lots and lots of whipped cream. But this "whipped cream," has tiny diamonds embedded in it!!! :-) A sparkly and beautiful Winter world!!!

Anthony trimmed my hair this morning, and I tried taking some pics, in the lovely big mirrors they have there. I like the pictures. Except! The overhead lighting makes my hair look yellow on top. See above. Eeeeeeek! So I used one I took at home, for my Sidebar. These at home in just sunlight {below} let my hair look its natural pewter. :-)

Views of tree tops, out back door...


Yesterday, I showed an evening view, taken outside our back patio door. This morning I took a couple, there also. So I thought I begin a series of shots, to the same West and South directions. Now. Later in the Autumn. Early Winter. Deep Winter. Etc.

So... The following photo is facing to the West. Same as yesterday's evening shot.


And the one below, is facing to the South.

These were taken on October 5th. I hope to keep taking them every once in a while, and show the color of the leaves changing. And then to show when all but the pine trees, have lost their leaves. Etc. Etc.

In nice weather, can step outside my door, as I did for these. When the rains of November come, I may have to just open the door and take a quick pic, before I get wet. And surely, in Winter, I'll stay inside. We get too much in the way of slippery conditions on those couple of steps down to the patio, to venture out
that way, most of the time. But the pics will be as close to the same view/direction, as I can get. Just for fun and for a topic for some continuing photos.


Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, I'm trying to do better with putting photos on my photo blogs. If I want people to keep looking at them, I have to put photos up regularly. I am really going to try... Again... Honest... :-))

In Photos-City-Mine and in Seasons Snapshots.

Thank you in advance, for peeking in on them.
