My 365: Happiest Boy in the World

melian78 — Sun, 27 May 2012 06:00:13 +0000

It’s not Leo’s birthday yet, but we went ahead and gave him his “big present.” He loves it!

Now we just have to set up his WiFi, then he’ll be good to go (just kidding)!

My 365: Happy Caturday

This cute little guy (or girl? I can’t tell) belongs to a neighbor.

Happy Caturday, everyone!

My 365: Ice Cream (or not)

melian78 — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:00:47 +0000

By some bizarre genetic coincidence, I have managed to produce a child who DOESN’T LIKE ICE CREAM.

I kid you not … when we go to the local ice cream joint, he asks for a plain cone, hold the ice cream.

Oh well, he’s easier to clean up this way, I guess!

That’s okay, Kiddo … it just leaves more ice cream for Mommy.

My 365: One-Point Perspective

melian78 — Wed, 23 May 2012 06:00:46 +0000

Something about this angle of the fence reminded me of learning about one-point perspective in art class, years and years ago.

Also, I really like the texture of this fence. Doesn’t it look like an aerial photograph of rocky terrain? (Yes, it’s probably mold, but I don’t care!)

Okay, I’m done “fencing” now. *rim shot*

My 365: Oot-Da

melian78 — Tue, 22 May 2012 06:00:29 +0000

Leo is currently going through a “farm” phase: he likes cows, horses, and all kinds of farm animals. This horse was a Christmas present from his Aunt Pauletta.

So anyway, Leo loves horses. He calls them “oot-da,” for some unknown reason. I’m thinking of publishing a Leoese Dictionary.

“ONWARD, Oot-Da!”

My 365: One More Purple Flower

melian78 — Mon, 21 May 2012 06:00:05 +0000

And here’s one more purple flower shot. I confess that I took this picture at the same time as the one from yesterday, but I really wanted to share them both!

My 365: Purple Flower

melian78 — Sun, 20 May 2012 06:00:46 +0000

Ooo, pretty! I know I’ve done lots of flower pictures already for my 365, but I still like to take them. If nothing else, they make good wallpapers for my computer!

Fun at Blanchette Park

melian78 — Sat, 19 May 2012 06:00:03 +0000

I had a great time at Blanchette Park with a beautiful family!

This next little guy was completely unconvinced that he should have his picture taken, and didn’t want to look at the camera …

But I was sneaky and managed to get a few shots of him accidentally looking.

What a fun family!
