Everyday I drive by this field that is covered with a variety of daisies. I keep wanting to stop, but I'm usually on my way to or from work. This weekend I had a chance to take Cooper out, so we stopped by the field so that I could get some shots.

There were so many neat pictures that I couldn't decide which one to choose for my 365, so I uploaded 2!

Less than 2 weeks before baby #3 is due and the house is bustling in preparation. I think it has thrown our other two off because they can probably sense that things are about to change :D

Originally, I chose this as my photo for day 65, but I changed my mind and it's now this one.

Can you guess what this is?

Choosing a title is one of the toughest parts of posting. I'm taking suggestions for a better one :D

I really liked the way the leaves on this tree were glowing in the sun against the wonderful blue sky. So I aimed the camera up and took a few shots.

Got out my old Berol Prismacolor Colored Pencil set and organized and sharpened them. I used to draw a lot in my High School and early College days, but I haven't used these in years. Perhaps I should take pictures of my artwork and post them in my 365!

I took a variety of different shots and had a hard time choosing one. I picked out a couple ones that I liked and posted them below.

One of the sites I've been working on (UI development) was released today: SocialPing; one of the reasons I'm falling behind in posting my 365 shots ;)

Start of month 3 and despite not having time to post or comment, I'm still taking photos. Seems like a round of people recently dropped out of their 365...but I'm determined to finish it!

My MIL gave me this on her recent visit, it's been fun to try and remember some old yo-yo tricks and the boys have had a blast playing with it too.

I did some work out in the yard while the boys played. We haven't seen the sun much, so it was nice to get out for a bit.

After my chores, I convinced them to let me take some photos. Surprisingly, they somewhat cooperated. I like the rim light effect from the sun.

Cooper found this little guy slugging around in our backyard, so I set him up on our moss rocks and snapped some shots. Out of the 5-10 shots I took of him, this was the only one where I was able to get one of his eyes in focus.

Shannon has a baby shower tomorrow, so we're cleaning up the house because her Mom and Sister are coming to spend the night.

Quote by C.S. Lewis

I've been inspired by Michael Hunter's mugshot series and thought I'd try something similar.

Trying to take a SP is no easy task - especially when lighting is involved. Oh well, I had fun and think the end result is interesting, although quite different than what I set out to achieve ;)

If you look closely enough, you can see my contacts...

I was going to post a much cuter picture of my son in the bath - but with all the creeps on the Internet, I decided against it.
