bird’s eye view {38/365}

posted by on · comment on this post

I didn’t know what I was going to shoot today.  Went out for a drive, thinking probably another barn (which I did get, and just might cheat tomorrow and use … ssshhhhh) and I had my eyes peeled for deer since it’s been so beautiful outside the past couple of days and they like to come out and get warm under the sun.

And then I spotted this guy …


He was massive!  And he kept looking at me while I was shooting away, trying to get a focus on him.  I have one of him taking off, although it’s a little (okay, a lot) blurry.  Freaked me out a little, thinking he was going to come swooping down at me and peck out my eyeballs.  I’m pretty sure he was annoyed with me interfering with his hunting.

I said thank you to him though when I left.  Seriously, I did!

SOOC except for the crop to bring him in closer.  The rest are on my flickr, or will be shortly.  He looks much better enlarged.

shop! {37/365}

Reason #198 of why I love this project – instead of looking for items inside shops like this, I’m looking AT shops like this.  And snapping away like mad.

Big savings on the wallet :)

(okay, so I looked inside … shush)

I love lanterns.  I have quite a few, in various sizes and colors.  This one resides in my bedroom, decorated in what I laughingly refer to as ‘cape cod’ style.

One can dream.

This is my Mom’s sewing box.

When I was a little girl, this sewing box fascinated the hell out of me.  Both sides lift up and out, like accordion styled wings.  I loved to rummage through it and ultimately my goal would always be the buttons.  All kinds of shiny buttons in every size, shape and color you could imagine.  She didn’t sew a whole helluva lot, but when she did, I’d be at her feet exploring the contents of the sewing box.

After her funeral a few short years ago, I had been expected to ‘go through her things and take what you want’  and I wasn’t up to that at all.  It would prove to be a good two years before I was.  I suppose I simply wanted everything to remain the same, with everything in it’s proper place in her home.  I didn’t want to touch a thing.

But I took her sewing box home with me that day.

Today is my Mom’s birthday.

I miss her very much.
