Reginald MacGuffin, I Miss You

I’m at a loss for words. Last Thursday evening Reggie’s health had deteriorated so much and there was so many health problems and he was so miserable, that I had to make the awful decision, but I think the best for him, to have him put to sleep. I had intended to write more tonight, [...]

Hospitals and Earthquakes

I was up most of last night with a very sick Reggie. I finally got him to settle down by curling up with him on the couch…where we kind of-sort of really didn’t sleep. This morning he seemed a little better and the vet’s gave me some medication for him, but by mid-afternoon [...]

Snow Dog

Last year I shared a picture of the huge snow elephant some people built. The same people, about 1.5 blocks from my parent’s home, built a snow dog and bone this year. Wow!

Backup

I wrote this post three weeks ago, but never got it posted. It’s about the night the sewage backed up into my house. It’s also about a picture of Reggie backing up. Since this happened a few weeks ago, I don’t know why I’m posting it other than posterity for me and Reggie’s picture is [...]

Sushi

No, I’m not really afraid of sushi. Thanks for checking!

Weather Pictures

Update: Life has interfered and I haven’t even transferred the pictures to a computer yet. Both Reggie and the car are sick, and I don’t know how I’m going to get help for both. Even getting them to the right locations won’t solve their problems…I might be carless for days and days because of the [...]

Christmas!

Merry Christmas and many blessings to each of you in 2010!

Wishing you the very best!

Jackson Pollock or Colorized-Etch-a-Sketch

Kazza inspired me for today’s post. My camera is focused on the lights on my Christmas tree.

The above image was created by wrapping the camera in it’s cord. When I let go of the camera it spun to the end of the cord and then bounced. (It’s a short, wrist-cord so [...]

Here’s Lookin’ at You Kid

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and a happy day with blessing to those who are not Americans…giving thanks really doesn’t need a special day!

Winning Score…Sort Of

I went to Homecoming at my “old” college today. It’s the first time I’ve gone when it wasn’t a reunion year for my class and it’s the first Homecoming football game I’ve attended. I managed to sort of catch the winning play on video…only somebody bumped me as we all jumped up screaming and the [...]

Not to Repeat Myself

My next door neighbor graciously loaned me his really cool 12x pocket digital camera. Yes, he let me “play” with it. I had planned to post some pictures that I took, but it’s been a long night and I’m tired. Pictures to come in the future, I hope. I used my own camera card, so [...]

Header Images

I’ve finally put some of my own images in the header, what do you think? I’m not completely thrilled with them, but this was a good start and experiment with cropping images to this odd size. I least like the flowers image, it looks choppy or something’s off. Holler if you do or don’t like [...]

Autumn

Autumn, or shall we say fall, used to be my favorite season. I just love the colors!

We don’t get a lot of red leaves in the Chicago area, instead we get lots of yellow, so when I see red…I have to snap it.

Here’s some red and yellow, already on [...]

I Need to Cough

It’s in my chest…a big cough, followed by another cough…and they are desperate to get out. But there the coughs will stay, choking me and tickling me and teasing me, basically tormenting me. Thank you Reggie. Shankopotamus.

He may be a shankopotamus, but he’s adorable. I know the picture is blurry, but I like it anyway…it’s so [...]

Caught in the Glare

Crane in the Glare

There’s a crane smack in the middle of the picture and the sun glare. Easier to see here. Too bad about the Fed Ex trucks, but they wouldn’t let me move them.

Biking

A picture I took over a decade ago on a fantastic biking trip to Prince Edward Island, Canada. I wish I could find the original of this picture, it had better color.

St. Peter and Paul

First day out in the big world after my flu bug. Other than the humidity, it was a beautiful day! I was in Naperville, IL, so I snapped a few pictures of St. Peter and Paul church. It’s a beautiful church, and you used to be able to see it from every where in the [...]

Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

Life and work got busy and blogging got ignored. Then, right as work calmed a moment, I got really sick.

I used to get the flu a lot when I was a kid, but I haven’t thrown up in over 20 years. Nope, now when I get the flu these days, I get other nasties. No [...]

Time for Your Close Up…Exposed

Well, Kazza figured out yesterday’s image in one guess and she’s so brilliant I’m sure it only took seconds! Here’s the full image:

Close Up Exposed

I have to admit, pink and orange and yellow and lime green are not colors I would normally put together. Too bad the depth of field only allows the center [...]
