Tiny Bubbles!

I was checking out 365 Day blogs on Flickr to see what awesome ideas other people were coming up with. I got this idea from a picture on http://onplanetcreativity.blogspot.com/. What I discovered first about this experiment was that I only had orange food coloring, bummer! Then I discovered that after stirring the water and oil together, by the time the water stopped moving most of the bubbles had popped! But definitely still worth trying again. I just have to get out and get some food coloring!

By the way... as you may or may not know, I am always on the look-out for faces in things. Do you happen to see a face in this picture?
Hint: lower left corner :)

I may be showing my age here, but I just loved Fonzie and Leather Tuscadero. I wanted to be as cool as her! Of course I was/am, you know. Oh the good ole days, Happy Days followed by Laverne and Shirley, now that was a great night of television!

Oh Deer


My husband and I went out and did a little hiking today. Even though it was only about 35 degrees, it actually felt somewhat warm. I was hoping to get a few pictures of deer and luckily we did. As we walked along we spotted the first two, photographed here.They stood and stared at us for about a minute, just  long enough to get a few pictures. The 2nd photo is of the same deer, just giving us one more look before heading off to the safety of the brush. We did walk up on 3 more deer on the other side of some trees, couldn't get in close enough to get a picture of any of them. I also enjoyed all the cardinals that were flying around. I must have seen at least 6 male cardinals.  I didn't get any pictures of them but the bright red against the brown of the landscape, oh so pretty!

You Can't See Me!

 A few paper clips, some camouflage paper, low on the creativity, and TA DA! 
A grumpy looking face that you can't see! Ha!

Happy Bouncy Ball

What does a 17 year old buy when they have a quarter in their pocket? A bouncy ball of course! Oh the love of a bouncy ball. When she was little, every store we visited that had a ball machine got a quarter. The super-sized bouncy balls were the best! Solid colored balls, balls with designs and balls with faces! How exciting! I bet if I went through some boxes in her closet today, I would still find a handful of bouncy balls.
Isn't it great that we can still be a kid no matter how old we get!

Self-Portrait

I hate having my picture taken, just hate it! But here one is. Why post a picture of myself when I just said I hate it?? because you have to step out of your comfort zone every so often. And because I took this picture, I will accept the fact that it is a bit blurry, the lighting stinks and the point of focus is on the big curl on the right side of my head!

Sweet Temptation

I will not eat this candy bar, I will not eat this candy bar,
I will not eat this candy bar, I will not eat this candy bar!

Jim ate the candy bar, Jim ate the candy bar,
Jim ate the candy bar, Jim ate the candy bar!

Whew! That was close!
