Photo Hunt black

While Hiking one day at EMSP I had the good
fortune of having one of my favorite things,
that is black, (my camera) out

when we heard very load whiring I looked up and snapped this:)
big loud black bird

and I love noticing the black that appears where none is:
like on the right hand side of this clear glass of herbal tea

Spiral

Can you tell what this is?

I was playing w/ glass and light this week
I found these bottle s today at a garage sale for $1
I think it was worth it just for the picture:)


And the first shot is the inside of this insulator

Average kid with piercings

Bags photohunt

I'm thinking for this weeks Photo hunt people are posting
Halloween bags-- but we are not going trick- or- treating
this year so I thought I'd trick you and show you my old bag
which has lost 5 of its six legs

and the treat I got --My new bag that is soft and brown.

Happy Halloween.

Tied and buckled (photohunt)

I wonder how much time is invested in getting these boots
on or the whole uniform and then the horse tack as well

It seems to me they work hard to get ready to go out
and work even harder.

Photo Hunt 'upside down'

The photo hunt theme for this week is upside down
SO I searched and found these:
Remember this: Exactly one year ago
my favorite upside down shots
My two sons on the trampoline


they spent years doing flips on this trampoline

when I look out there these days it looks lonelywith only birds resting

but I can remember the years of fun

and imagination it was for our children

The trampoline isn't the only one that misses those Upside down fun times.

Photo Hunt Electric NYC TIMES SQUARE( Edison)

This may well be the largest concentrated use of electricity in the world --wHAT DO YOU THINK?

I knew I had a picture from our recent trip to the Smithsonian that fit this Photo hunt word but when I found it I was somewhat disappointed with the quality but knew it fit the theme perfectly--
The evolution of electric Light bulbs in the display about


the inventor of the light bulb Thomas Alva Edison


Thomas Edison was born in Ohio. (my birth state) seventh child (also like me) maybe I was supposed to be an inventor? I better get busy:).

Edison started school late due to childhood illness. His mind often wandered and his teacher Alexander Crawford often called him "addled". He was kicked out of school three months after starting. Edison was then home-schooled by his mother, who was previously a teacher. She encouraged and taught him to read and experiment. Many of his lessons came from reading R.G. Parker's School of natural philosophy.

He was partially deaf since a young age, and became became a telegraph operator after he saved Jimmie Mackenzie from being struck by a runaway train. Jimmie's father, was so grateful that he took Edison as an apprentice and trained him as a telegraph operator. Edison's deafness helped him as it blocked out noises and prevented Edison from hearing the telegrapher sitting next to him.( that was for me -I love history)


on a side note we saw this Edison Phonograph player in the museum in Grapevine TX. It is a smaller version of one we had in our Dining room when I was small! -- Edison invented the first recording device that worked( originally w/ tinfoil )it played the thick 78's (Records) they predated, but paved the way for-33's-45's, 8 track tapes, cassette tapes, cd's and ipods! SO, we can thank Edison for our Light and Music!!!

(another side note we used to hide bowls of bean soup and other food that we as kids didn't like in the doors that held the thick records..Sorry Mr Edison :0

Photo Hunt Utensils

I love that they are now making these colorful utensils! My daughter was admiring the ones we saw in the back to college section but they did not look strong. She cooks daily so When I found these strong cute ones at Ross I got some for her. I love the Smiling slotted spoon and how the reflection of my Florescent light gives it a curly eye brow:)

We will be singing the Children's song "the primary colors are 1,2,3, red, yellow, and blue" every time we use them:)
