Day 20 of the 30 Day Photo Challenge:  Long Exposure

After halfheartedly trying my hand at a daylight long exposure, I decided to pull out a shot from July 4 2008.

I love the way the streaks of light are exploding at the same time!

Here is my shot from the waterfall in the backyard.  I wanted to go to Minnehaha today for this shot but the heat was high with high humidity.  No air-conditioning in the CRV and all those steps at Minnehaha....

This historic house was built for Jean Baptiste Faribault in 1839. The house, a fine example of Colonial architecture, was built of yellow sandstone quarried locally with a red sandstone front. Read more here

Forty-Two Bottles of Beer on the Wall....

Day 17: Food

42 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.... and a tupperware pitcher full, what to do?

Yesterday I bottled the beer that Andy and I brewed on March 28.  Yeah, I know a little late, but I thought "yunno I'm going to bottle it anyway" so I did.  I ended up with 42 bottles and one pitcher.  The pitcher is full because I didn't sanitize enough bottles. So I filled a pitcher and put it in the fridge.  I can boil brats this weekend , I thought.

The 42 bottles of beer

So today I decided to make beer bread.  I chopped up a jalepeno and cubed some cheddar cheese and tossed that into the batter, Yum.  Probably would have tasted really comforting back in the cold April weather, but nonetheless, it tastes yummy.

So here is my Food picture for Day 17 of the photography challenge.

What is love?

Day 16:   Love

Baby Cardinal

So I was coming back home from a late hair appointment and I was thinking damn I have to do my photography challenge...before the day is out....it's 7pm!  Yikes.  This challenge really gets on my nerves if I don't have an idea ready to shoot.  In my head I was thinking well I could go out in the back yard and find a L out of twigs and then an O and so on....
I pull up to the house and their is Tim rescuing a baby chick cardinal out of the front bushes.  He had fallen and lost his way...the cardinal mother and father were swooping from the roof clearly watching Tim's every move.  Then Tim placed baby safely back into his nest =LOVE.
