I loved the pattern of the footprints! Also, I believe these were left by a fox... which is good to know that they're still around this area!

Milkweed pods are always interesting! Also a good chance to play around with the new lens.

I pass this guy every day on my walk... this angle looks more like a camel or llama. From the other view it looks like a dragon!

I waited about 5 minutes on this stopped train... so amused at all the impatient people who turned around to go a different route... especially since they didn't get any further than I did! And I had way more fun... cleaning my lens & getting some shots.

Our annual picnic day!! People probably think we're crazy, but every February we take a day to go out & have a picnic. We've been doing it since we met!

Our fortunes. Sam's is better than mine:

One nice thing about picnicking in February- no need to pack a cooler!

Yeah, that may not look like much... but those little pills are the reason I live a semi-normal life.

And believe it or not, that's about $600 worth of them!

(I had a flare today so this is as good as it gets.)

My notebook. I carry it everywhere & log alot in it... from what I eat to when I use the restroom. (It's an IC thing, and I know it's weird, but it helps.)

This is my sister, with her dog, Dublin.

Don't let the innocent look fool you! She's an evil puppy!

I picked this shot because I love how my sis's hair looks so amazing!

I wrote this on Sam's car today, after I got off work, but I was afraid he wouldn't get to see it since it was still snowing... so I took a picture!

This is my favorite tree on the trail I walk every day. Thought it deserved a few shots this year. I'll try to capture it blooming & shading, of course!

I had little time for frivolities today... so a B&W of a grocery cart is as creative as I got!

I was toying with the settings on the camera. I had the white balance set to "cloudy" and I really love the effect it gave!

Since brats are on sale for the Superbowl weekend, my boss had me make a bunch of pepper & onion trays.

The onion smell makes my tummy upset. Blech!

It amuses me that at the vet clinic, instead of a cookie jar, we have a biscuit jar!

The weird things is there was once a guy who ate one of the biscuits!

What does one do when one spends a large sum of money on a new camera???
