First Aid Kit – Snapshot of the Day, No. 233

Joe and I decided to do something nice for his parents today and clean their boat while they are out of town. We used Simple Green and bleach on most of the boat – and it took most of the day to finish our task. THIS is what Joe found in the hull of theContinue reading “First Aid Kit – Snapshot of the Day, No. 233”

Monkey Business – Snapshot of the Day, No. 232

My sister and I spent the day together today, and we spent part of it at the Chattanooga Zoo. This is in part of the Spider Monkey exhibit. Apparently they like to play with the patrons. We were told they like to blow kisses, too.

Shoes, Shoes Everywhere, and Not a Pair For Me – Snapshot of the Day, No. 231

You know what they say! Women love shoes and they can’t have enough of them. I, on the other hand, am lucky I have any shoes at all. I can no longer find my size. Especially in heels. I suppose the buyers think most people don’t wear size 5, so why order them? I can’tContinue reading “Shoes, Shoes Everywhere, and Not a Pair For Me – Snapshot of the Day, No. 231”

Magazine Rack – Snapshot of the Day, No. 230

Look! Actual books and magazines. Who would have thought. Of course, she’s the only one there….. I went to Books-A-Million today to kill some time while waiting on Joe, so that’s where I found this woman. I love going to bookstores. They are very quiet – yet full of stories.

Murray – Snapshot of the Day, No. 229

One would think this dog was homeless and sad from the expression on his face. He is quite the opposite, I can assure you. He had gotten into cobwebs and Husky fur, and was trying to get them off of his face when I grabbed the camera. (Actually, he had removed most of it byContinue reading “Murray – Snapshot of the Day, No. 229”

Early Halloween – Snapshot of the Day, No. 228

I used to work on a mask series several years ago, so this time of year was always my favorite time to look for unusual masks. I would never have …… well, I might have used this creep clown mask….. but I usually chose something unusual vs. scary. I shot black and white sheet filmContinue reading “Early Halloween – Snapshot of the Day, No. 228”

Blue Plate Special – Snapshot of the Day, No. 227

Being back at work, I don’t have that many opportunities to find something spectacular, and today was no different. But it’s kind of unique. I decided to be sociable today and go to lunch with a few of my fellow co-workers. We went to Southern Star downtown. This pillar was displaying the specials of theContinue reading “Blue Plate Special – Snapshot of the Day, No. 227”

Lake Dinner – Snapshot of the Day, No. 226

And we’re back. This is the back deck of Dockside Cafe inside Harrison Bay State Park. We had dinner with Joe’s parents there after we got back from our trip. I chose it because it was pretty much as far removed from Manhattan as it gets….at least in the U.S. Well, perhaps not; but itContinue reading “Lake Dinner – Snapshot of the Day, No. 226”

Italian Dinner – Snapshot of the Day, No. 225

We stayed in Long Island and watched football all day this day; but we did get an opportunity to go out to eat at a local restaurant – Caffee Amici. We were all very tired, so it was good to just sit and visit.

Car Tourist – Snapshot of the Day, No. 224

We had a whirlwind trip. My cousin’s husband drove us everywhere. (We owe him a LOT for his generosity.) But at any rate, if you’ve ever been in a car or taxi in Manhattan, you know it’s a very fast-paced experience. And more than a little horrifying. This shot pretty much sums up how weContinue reading “Car Tourist – Snapshot of the Day, No. 224”
