Project 365

Friday evenings

Steph and I like to sit out front in the evenings with an adult beverage. It usually attracts a crowd which is always nice.

I do declare

We are getting closer to planting the garden weather-wise, which makes Steph happy. Me, I’m just happy to bring out my favorite sculpture to watch over the farm.

Only the shadow knows

I think he’s trying to tell me something.

The Psychology Of Hitting a Baseball

Hitting a baseball isn’t easy. Cam’s first plate appearance he struck out, and he was crushed (all the boys get really mad). This is a player-pitch game and some of these kids throw so hard I’m not sure I could hit it. I had to talk him down from the tower after his first at bat explaining that the pros strike out a lot, and he better get used it since it’s part of the game. I told him “on your next bat don’t worry or fear striking out just step up and hit it.” He walked up and did just that – a base hit.

Good Luck Troll

This is Steph’s Good Luke Troll. It was originally found in the glove compartment of her first car she bought in 1988, a diesel Volkswagen Rabbit. It’s been in every car of hers since. So it was only natural that he’d find a place in the new car.

Yankees

Cam’s Little League baseball team is the Yankees, and he got his team gear today. We told him he couldn’t sleep with the hat on. He was disappointed.

Yankee Springs Time Trial

When I can I love to capture faces of riders minutes after they finish their races. This is what it looks like after racing for over 90 minutes in the elite field. Shattered.

Madone

17 lbs of carbon goodness. It took a while to get here but it was worth the wait.

Salmon

Trying to make up for all the candy and ice cream.

Nite Rider

Geoff has been introducing me to how nice it is to ride at night. We have lights on the front and back of our bikes, so we are probably better seen then during the day. We don’t go far or hard – mainly just doing laps around the lake. The last few rides have been a blast.

Talent

No idea where it comes from but Luke has a future on the stage or in front of the camera. When asked a question pretty much about anything it’s usually answered with a sound effect, prat-fall, or some funny gesture.

Squirrel?

Say the word, just say the word, please just say the word.

Dinner

My family doesn’t think it’s strange anymore that I take pictures of food. I’m going to raise my game. Hopefully they won’t be concerned when I start lighting it as well.

Happy Easter

Texting

Luke prefers to text over calling. No idea where he gets that idea.
