93.365.4 Creative Block

Monday April 2 2012.

I'm suffering from a creative block these days. I've been really struggling with the photo a day project this year. So much going on at work, at home and just no good ideas coming to me these days. Ah well, I guess I'll survive.

91.365.4 Planting Sunflowers.

Saturday March 31 2012.

The kids planted sunflower seeds today. We put them on the window sill to get plenty of light until they are ready to transplant to the garden. Should be fun for them to watch the flowers grow.

We went to Fatburger for dinner today. It was really good! I think I found my new favorite burger joint. Even the kids pigged out.

79.365.4 New Toy!

Tuesday March 20 2012.

I got a new Camcorder. Went for an HD model this time. Nothing over the top just a simple low end model to capture the funny things the kids do. I like the HD idea though.

77.365.4 Warm Glow.

Sunday March 18 2012.

I looked over and she was sitting the the warmest sunlight streaming in from the living room window that I've seen in a long time. I just had to capture that light with such a cute subject sitting there. :)

72.365.4 Assembly.

Tuesday March 13 2012.

Finally some assembly worth photographing. This exchanger weighs a light 30,000 lbs. There are 2 on the assembly just like the one in the background. Pretty cool to watch them lift and set them in place with such precision.

70.365.4 Clean!

Sunday March 11 2012.

The boy and I cleaned up his room today. Ok, I cleaned and he pulled more out for me to pick up again. I've taken this photo of the center of his room so he may see what it should look like all the time. LOL. We will see how long it lasts.

69.365.4 Close Your Eyes And Jump!!

Saturday March 10 2012.

We went out for a much needed spring walk. Of course there are puddles that require jumping in before you can pass them.

68.365.4 Mud!!!

Friday March 9 2012.

Well look at at that. 12°C today. Everything is melting like crazy now. Finally. The worst part is the mess in the yard. Don't let the poor representation in the photo fool you. Those ruts are 6 to 8 inches deep already. I'm not even sure what color my boots are supposed to be. LOL.

67.365.4 Forgotten.

Thursday March 8 2012.

The snow melted off this drum and there it was. Forgotten. Who knows how long it was sitting there but it's garbage now.

Valves and handles. I love these big valves. They always fascinate me. 350 lbs each for these ones.

61.365.4 Arial View

Thursday March 1 2012.

I happened to have a manlift in the yard this morning so I decided an arial view of the yard was in order. I was only 30 feet up. Next time I'll go the full 60 feet.

Ah, well. It can rust.

54.365.4 Yet Another Scrap Yard Fire.

Thursday February 23 2012.

The scrap yard across the road from us has at least one fire a month. this one was bigger than most. 3 fire trucks came and took quite a while to get it under control.

I'm not sure what was burning this time but It's usually old fuel tanks.
