Week 23

It was super windy, so Katie's hair just went flying. She is such a pill during haircuts. I went out just in time to help hold on to her while Mark finished up her back legs. I ended up covered with teeny little dog hairs that ooze through my clothes and made me itchy for the rest of the day.

I was outside trying to maybe take some pictures of the corn field, and then I thought about trying to get some lens flare. I hauled boys out, checked Google, and was underwhelmed with my results (got some cool flare, with some cool colors, but the photos were out of focus…). Was heading back inside when I saw the dog and the man laying on the grass. This isn't a perfect photo, but it's pretty darned close.

First Junior High Baseball game: Will pitching, Joe on First. I need to remember to bring my zoom lens, this is as close as I could get to the action.

Another cell phone picture from Mark: there is a hole in the tile, which requires much digging in mud to find and then repair. Mark has needed the boys to help with the digging, and they've been out several days, coming home just covered with mud.

Several days ago, I tried to use a Dryel home dry-cleaning bag to freshen up a piece of clothing. The bag ended up sitting on top of the dryer, and the cat has claimed the bag as a toy. It is a very crisp plastic, and it makes a really nice crinkly sound.

This is totally posed, I wish the light had been better so that I could have had a faster shutter and gotten them both in focus, but it was hard to get them to cooperate even a little bit, I had to work fast...
