Things are looking bad...

I received these two emails over the last 48 hours and thought they were cute.

GOT STOPPED FOR SPEEDING THE OTHER DAY. I THOUGHT I COULD TALK MY WAY OUT OF IT UNTIL THE COP LOOKED AT MY DOG IN THE BACK SEAT...

One sign you are driving too fast...

(You'll have to enlarge the picture to see the claw marks on the seat)

HOW BAD IS THE ECONOMY? IT IS DEFINITELY GETTING VERY BAD....

(Cat's are so dramatic)

What is amazing about this picture is that the dog actually could be Joey's double. Joey looked that way when he was around 3 or 4 years old. Kind of makes me sad...I miss him so.

Marley & Me

Marley & Me is hitting the shelves on March 31st
and I'm planning on purchasing the DVD! Yeah!

A day in the life of a Hummer

Steve and I are advid bird watchers, or at least from our backyard. This winter we have had the opportunity to watch over one lone ranger hummingbird, who for whatever reason didn't make his journey south. So we took extra care and made sure he had sugar water through out the winter.

Now I know that most hummingbirds look the same, but this particular fellow is a little more "plump" than the rest of the hummers that arrived to our feeders a couple of weeks ago.

So, I am kind of thinking this is the feller who stayed throughout the winter. The most interesting thing about this particular bird, is that for a hummer he is lazy. He just sits and watches. He doesn't fly around at quick speeds from one end of the yard to the other, nor is he timid and shy (I hope he doesn't become our neighbor's cat's next meal). He just sits and sits and sits. It is hard to say this, but for a hummingbird he is kind of lazy. Nonetheless, he sat long enough for me to take his photo (not a great picture, but trying to take a picture of a small bird in the midst of trees, from inside the house, is not an easy task).

Anyways, since I had nothing else interesting going on in my life right now to blog about, I thought I'd tell you about this little bird.

The Camera's Eye

Every once in a while my camera and I don't see eye to eye, and when that happens, I get some unusual shots. Here are two shots that I found really cool and unique.

The first one is called "The Ghost of Levi Past". Steve and Levi were playing ball together and when they play ball, Levi's concentration level soars high and he moves super quick; thus the picture.

The Ghost of Levi Past

This next shot was purely accidental. I was on my way home one night and I was trying to take a picture of the dense fog, but this is what I got instead. Can you guess what it is? I'll check back in a bit and share the answer.

I've always enjoyed taking pictures, I just wish I was a little better at it. Occasionally though, I'll get a shot or two, like these, that I really wasn't expecting.

The answer: Is it a lighting bolt? No, is it a street light? Yes. The fog was heavy and moving quickly under the street post. I took the shot and then in the midst of the shot, my camera battery died. Pretty awesome, huh? Thanks for guessing, that was fun.
