Day 67

Yay! Last day of month end! Well until next month.. I went outside after dinner to check if I could see the sun from our patio (had an idea with how the clouds looked at that moment) but I couldn't.. so I took a picture of our friends cactus that's sitting in between our patios. I like the red pot.

Day 66

I know, another Macro shot.. but it's busy month end again. These are my Indian bracelets from when I was a kid. They don't fit me anymore, but I still have them.

Day 65

Last min post! Almost forgot... Capser was sitting on the birdie shower perch this morning & decided it was time to get off. So he took off, flew around in a circle, and landed... on the bathroom fan.. I'm surprised he was able to hold on so I snapped a picture before getting him down.

Day 64

This is one of my favorite things. Because of the weather today, I was waiting for this to happen. However, I find it hard to capture good pictures of sun rays through the clouds unless it's totally cloudy. It was pretty bright here.

Day 63

We got home after midnight last night so all I wanted to do was go to bed. But here's yesterday's picture. Dave Matthews was great! Tim Reynolds was there too, so an added +! I've decided to never get concert seats as far away as we were again tho. (See my facebook for more of the nights photos including Tim Reynolds)

Day 62

Last min pic. Bentley was preening himself & I caught him when he looked up. That wing feather has been sticking out weird for a few days, I think he's waiting for it to fall out or something.

Day 61

I forgot to post yesterday. But I did take this pic yesterday. This is my new desk mate. Their names are Mr. McPricklesons, Ms. Pokesalot, and Cecil. I may start to talk to them and try to make my co-workers think I'm going crazy..

Day 60

Hey 2 months into the project & I'm shooting in public?! Took long enough
We went to the fountains and ate dinner at Boudin. I decided to take a pic of one of the fountains but then I liked this clock better.

Day 59

Birthday flowers Tim gave me :-) If anyone knows what they are, let me know! There's no care instructions :-P

Samsung SL720 f/3.7 @ 1/15 sec

Day 58

Got enough toys? I went to PetSmart today to get Casper some food & then I went crazy and bought Greyson & Bentley a couple toys :-) Here's Grey checking out his before I put it in his cage. It's a macaw sized toy but I thought it'd be good for him & keep him busy for a while.. yeah he's already tearing apart a couple blocks & it hasn't even been 20 min :-P

Samsung SL720 f/3.7 @ 1/45 sec

Day 57

Tim took me to Panther Beach today as an early birthday present. It was nice & then we went to this awesome restaurant, Bella Roma. :-)
I broke my lens though. I think it was already breaking for the past few years (it was the cheap 18-55mm that comes with the camera), but it got worse today and then I tried to unzoom it and it broke. :-( Time to find a new one!

Nikon D40 f/11 @ 1/400

Day 56

Ok, not the greatest picture of course but it's different than a marco shot in our apt, right? I don't know why I didn't roll down my window :-P But I tried to get all the reflections out of the picture. This was on my way home, huge fire!

Samsung SL720 f/11 @ 1/800

Day 55

I know, i know.. my pictures are probably getting boring & I need to change it up! This is one of Tim's guitar amps.

Nikon D40 f/8 @ 1/125 sec

Day 54

Yep! I started another knitting project! (although, this isn't it..) I didn't like how the colors looked in this pic & I couldn't get them to look right, so I turned it B&W and worked out the contrast & curves in PS.

Nikon D40 f/8 @ 1/125 sec

Day 53

This was my morning drink before I stirred it up. Yum! I thought the bottom part looked cool. It's a grande vanilla bean frap with 2 floating shots, just in case anyone wanted to know why it looked like that :-P

Samsung SL720 f/3.4 @ 1/30 sec

Day 52

This is Tim playing Starcraft.

Day 51

I forgot until it was bedtime to post a picture yesterday and then I was too tired to to do it. So here it is. I went to Tim's parent's house very briefly with his sister. There's always pretty flowers everywhere.

Day 50

I met Tim at Peet's today before going to the mall with Amy. I was reading a book and got distracted by these birds. I have no idea what that is, pizza? But the bird on the left was yelling the whole time at the other birds. He could've just eaten with them, they would've let him.. But I think he wanted it all for himself. So then he eventually sulked off and let the rest of the birds eat in peace :-P
Not a great pic, I know. I was like 20 ft away and used digital zoom. I know, things like this is why I should be carrying my Nikon everywhere! But I picked this picture out of the bunch because of how the left birds wings are & where the right bird is positioned & how he looks like he doesn't even care that he's being yelled at.

Day 49

Ack! Very last min post! (11:58pm)

Day 47

Not a great sunrise pic, but that's all I got today. It looked cooler in person because light was shining out of the top & bottom of the little cloud. Plus there was a bunch of clouds to the West but of course not on the East.

Day 46

Another 'meh' photo for me. Just a picture of the branches we got for our centerpieces.

Nikon D40 f/8 @ 1/125 sec

Day 45

Meh :-P I was walking up to my apt from throwing out the trash & I looked back and thought it looked cool with the tree & another tree's shadow.

Nikon D40 f/4.2 @ 1/125 sec

Day 44

:-P Went to antique store today & took some pictures lol. I found this interesting for some reason.

Samsung SL720 f/3.4 @ 1/15 sec

Day 43

We went to Depoe Bay Coffee Co today in Auburn for some milkshakes. They have awesome milkshakes and yes we drive all the way there just for them :-) They have a coffee roaster in the front of the cafe and I took a picture of that but it didnt turn out great. I liked this one better & made some adjustments in PS. I like how it turned out.

Samsung SL720 f/3.4 @ 1/125 sec

Day 42

:-P I took my picture for today at work. The mama monkey is telling the baby monkey to "get down!"

Samsung SL720 f/3.8 @ 1/20 sec

Day 41

Yeah... I'm tired tonight & didn't try to hard. :-P This is the hair comb thing I got for the wedding & a dress that the zipper is broken on haha.

Samsung SL720 f/3.4 @ 1/30 sec

Day 40

Nothing too exciting today. I used to like reading the Chipotle cups but now they're generic. So I like reading their new togo bags :-P

Samsung SL720 f/3.4 @ 1/15 sec

Day 39

Late pic again. I was thinking "what should I take a pic of" and was going to grab my Bible so I could post something on facebook from last weeks sermon & then HEY take a pic of that! So I randomly opened towards the middle and I love that I just opened to this page that has "The Lord is there" right there! :-)

Samsung SL720 f/3.5 @ 1/15 sec

And incase anyone wants to read.. Last Sunday's sermon was amazing. :

James 1 (NIV)
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.... 12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Day 38

Yaaay! With the exception of 5 (need more envelopes) all the invites are together & in their envelopes, addressed & stamped! (Thanks for the help Amy!) Now I just need to seal them :-P

Samsung SL720 f/3.5 @ 1/15 sec

Day 37

Here's some lil ducklings I found at the Antique Trove yesterday. I couldn't resist getting them :-) I wasn't sure if they'd look good in this display thing but thought I'd try it out. I guess it's not bad. They'd look better in something else but I don't really have anything else right now.
