I couldn’t make up my mind today.  Originally I was just going to show you the “Gasboy” photo and make some jokes about how this is the long lost cousin of Optimus Prime (doesn’t the text look just like the transformers titles?), and then mention that my wife thinks this is my self-portrait.  But the firetruck pics turned out so well that I thought they need to be co-photos of the day. Enjoy.

The “golden hour” is that time during the morning and evening when the sun is pretty low in the sky, the shadows are long, and the light nice and gentle.  Sometimes it’s more obvious than others why it’s called the golden hour…

Today I stumbled across all sorts of awesomeness, but this is the one that strikes me the most.   This was so totally random…  there were car parts all over the place. Not major ones, this door and a steering wheel were the biggest, but still very odd.

So today I have a guest artist. I decided to try light painting, and had my wife and kids all drawing shapes in the air with a little toy lego LED flashlight.  This one was done by David, and turned out to be pretty interesting.

Six years of marriage.  The middle part of this ring was the engagement ring my grandfather gave to my grandmother.  It was also the engagement ring I gave to my wife.  We added the outer rings to make it her wedding ring.  It’s been an awesome day.

Tomorrow is Valentines day and my 6th wedding anniversary.  This is one of the mint truffles my loving wife made for me for our anniversary :-)

I’m so fortunate to work in a place that has so many cool things to look at!  I foresee much more shop-oriented photos on this year of photos venture.

This weekend is Valentine’s day, and little candies like these are going to be overtaking homes and schools all across America.  I know our home has already gotten a whole bunch of them for ourselves and for kid’s class valentines.

Almost 2 weeks down, and 50 to go…  time for a bit of abstraction.  What could it be?

Tonight we got together with good friends for our weekly “small group” meeting.  While at their house I noticed these little bear figurines on the fireplace mantle, and thought they’d be a good addition to my collection of daily photos.  I thought this little bear had a really fun little personality, and that he needed to be shared with the world, or at least the three of you that know this blog exists :-)
