Day 213 - Standing Guard

Happy Thanksgiving! After a very yummy (and filling) dinner, and a major pillow fight with two goofball little boys - I got a picture of these little guys standing guard on the shelf!

Day 211 - Reflections & Silhouettes

Ray and I were at the Milwaukee Art Museum to see the Andy Warhol exhibit and I took a few shots in the Calatrava entry room. I just love the overall feel of this photo.

Day 210 - Swirl

The last phase of my laundry room make-over - painting the floor! The lighting wasn't quite enough (should have bumped my ISO up!!) so I had some blur - but thought the look of the paint mixing and dripping was still fun!

Day 209 - Rascal

I bought this bird feeder at the beginning of summer, and the first few bags of birdseed that I bought must have been the "squirrel-proof" type. I switched towards the end of summer and now the little rodents find their way to it and its gone in a day! Stay tuned for some future posts that will explain why this will no longer be an problem!

Day 208 - When Pigs Fly

It was a beautiful fall day so may people were putting up their Christmas/Holiday decorations. I found these gems at the house down the block. Tell me, what says "Happy Holidays" like flying pigs and geese dressed like Santa??!! Makes you wonder!

Out this afternoon taking some photos in the park. Absolutely love this shot of the water and how it looks almost like tar with the reflection of the afternoon sun.
