Decay (Old / Abandoned) - Runner up

This is what I had planned on posting for last week's theme but wasn't all that pleased with the look of this pic taken from my car window while exiting from I-94 onto I-75 here in the D with my little Canon Powershot. I tried again another day on the way home from work with the Canon Rebel DSLR but not so easy while driving, and the shoulders have so much garbage on them I was afraid I would get a flat if I pulled over.

Week 12 of 2011 - Decay

An old stove decaying in my backyard as yard-art. I "found" this last summer while cleaning out my mother's old shed before tearing it down. My father probably got it in a garage sale many, many years ago.

A close up of the tag: US Stove Co.

SUPERMOON

Last night we had a Supermoon.
The moon looked this way because it was just 211,565 miles away from the earth.
That's the closest its been since March of 1993.

Week 11 of 2011 - Texture

This piece of coral from a Caribbean trip has been sitting on my dining room table for quite some time now. It's from the island of Nevis from the spring of 2010. Today I discovered its texture while using my macro extender lens.

Dare I say the snow has mostly melted?

I went outside a few weekends ago and could see grass and dirt and earth so I screamed "goodbye snow" and of course it snowed another 5 inches that night. This time I will not scream it but blog it since I do not think Mother Nature follows my blog. But she should.

The snow is mostly gone now and it kind of amazes me that in my garden the strawberries (top of pic) and lettuce (bottom of pic) are still green and alive.

Week 10 of 2011 - Vanishing Point

My chimney from ground level vanishing into the gray dusk sky. I was working SO much this week that I didn't as much procrastinate as just didn't find the time to take a pic for the week. At the few last moments of light today I decided my chimney would be a good subject for this theme. I mean me and my chimney have a history! (See Chim Chim Cheree.)

Tiny centrosaurus

I bought an accessory for my camera from Photojojo.com and it arrived with a small centrosaurus in the package!

I also recently bought a lens extension tube to take macros with my current zoom lens.

It was like Photojojo knew I needed a subject to photograph.

Week 09 of 2011 - Diptych

I've been waiting for this to bloom for over a year now. I guess the 99 cent plants require patience.
