Unbelievably Uppity!

It has been brought to my attention that anytime I take a photo with my trusty little Pentax (w/no view finder, you always look at the screen), my pinky is always sticking up. Sometimes the next two closest fingers join pinky. This has ruined more than one shot, as by the time I crop the photo, the composition is pretty much a goner. Above was taken at the community garden - three fingers uppity!

On this particular day, GB (hubby) and I were ~bonding~ over the unbelievably effective lint cleaning gizmo my dad sent me. (You put it on the end of your electric drill and "spin" it up and down the lint vent pipe thingy - canNOT think of it's name.) I was so embarrassed by the mound of lint that thing remove, I cropped almost all of it out. Let's just say we're lucky our house didn't burn down... Three fingers uppity again!

Just one little uppity finger this time. Guess the other two got tired out. (Another lint shot.)

Even when shooting the turtle's nest, there go those fingers up in the air! This one's about a one and a half uppity. And now, read on for the second part of this post.

Unknown, Unidentifiable...at least to me:

I need some help. This bird (sorry for the bad quality - shooting through kitchen windows does that) was attacking my kitchen window and when he/she finally stopped to take a breather, I found I was looking at a bird I couldn't identify. Any idea anyone? I'd love to know.

Here's another angle. I never saw him/her again after that day. I was hoping there was a nest being built in the tree by the window, but no such luck.

I saw this lovely flowering plant in Riverside Park the day Lauren and I went in to see Daryl and Kate. None of the four of us had a clue what it was, but it was growing everywhere and, as you can see, quite beautiful. What about this, any idea what it is?

Here it is again from a different light and angle. That Riverside Park was one of the most lovely, peaceful parks I've seen. Well, except for the crazed in-line skaters coming down the steep (paved) pathway - I thought for sure one of us was going to get run over!

There you have it and as Kate writes each day

Until tomorrow, my friends...

(I'm borrowing that just for today because of the letter it begins with.)

expect anything!

ABC Wednesday - We're up to U!

Do join us!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be short and sweet.

After writing this ~blog~ thing for a short month, I've become aware that I use the !!!!!!!! much more than I probably should. And also the - thing. You know the - words here - thing.

I promise I will be more cognizant of all the times I use !!!!!!'s and --------'s. But I don't promise not to use them. They are what defines my very soul, so don't you DARE ask me to stop using them!!

Hmmm...nobody has actually asked me to stop using them.....that must mean I very personally myself think I use them too much.

I will not take responsibility for that!

Well, that works for me. Deal with it! ;-)

grin!! :)
