I have nothing to say about this photo - too tired to think right now...

Which brings me to tonight

Once again, wandering through the house, I ended up at the liquor.  Hmmm...  I wonder if there's anything to that...

Brandy, anyone?

We returned home yesterday afternoon, and now it seems like I'm back to wandering around the house at the end of the day, looking for something (anything!) interesting to shoot.  Not always successful in that...

Cornfield in the snow

I wish it hadn't been so blazing cold at my parents' this weekend - I didn't want to go out to take advantage of the photo ops the countryside has to offer!  But this is one shot from a quick walk I took with the kids...

The long and not-so-winding road...

The kids and I went to visit my parents over the long weekend.  This is a view down the road they live on - so strange to see such familiar surroundings through the eyes of an adult...

Nickels and dimes...

I feel like I nickel-and-dime myself to death sometimes.  But rather than in the traditional meaning of the phrase, I nickel-and-dime myself out of TIME.  So many things need to be done every day just to keep the household going that I feel like I've lost most, if not all - sometimes, of the day doing little 5- and 10-minute tasks.  Folding laundry - 10 minutes.  Sorting and putting laundry away - another 10 minutes.  Empty the dishwasher - 5 minutes.  Etc., etc., etc.  Pretty soon half the day is gone, and I have yet to get to anything I want to do.  But all those little things need to be done, so how does one balance it all?  Some days I do better than other days...

Daily life

Ho-hum.

Pencils

I was cleaning up some of the kids' things tonight when I had an idea for a shot...

From above

I liked the ice water shot from last night (that I only just now posted) so I decided to stick with that "shooting from above" theme once more...

Ice water

Tried a few different things with this glass of ice water last night...  This one really stood out to me.
