October 4-11, 2008

Saturday morning, I left the house before the sun came up to drive to a nearby race. This is nothing new, and was actually the second time last week that I did the same thing.

But this time, I was driving east into the rising sun. And once again I was aiming my point-and-shoot out the window and hoping for the best. I promise I’m keeping my eyes on the road, it’s just luck when a shot actually lines up!

I love the reflection on the hood of my car.

At last Sunday’s race, I won a plant as a random prize. I was able to snag the last purple mum — the same color I planted last year. (Last year’s can be seen in my banner image.) All but one grew back so I will probably plant the new one in the blank space. Though, it is much larger than the others!

I still have flowers in my planters!

And finally, I’ll leave you with a kitty photo. The light was bad, but I love how she was looking right at me.

September 28 – October 4, 2008

I’ve been busy, again. I didn’t take too many photos this week, and most didn’t turn out the way I would have liked. But I’m here to share them anyway — and hopefully I’ll be able to visit more of the other “Weekly Winners” participants later in the week!

Here it goes …

I could have gotten something great here.

But my point-and-shoot, which was conveniently in my purse, has been eating batteries lately and died. I was forced to use my cell phone instead.

Or here, the boats on the water were beautiful.

But blurry and not really lined up/zoomed as I would have liked. Yes, I was taking photos out of the car window while driving over the bridge again.

I do kind of like this outtake when I tried again:

Love the late-day sun, and at least it’s in focus!

Finally, some kitties. They can never be losers!

Hmm … where did this week go? Not too much to share this time around but here it goes:

Currently this is hanging on the sliding glass door in our kitchen:

‘Tis the season for these guys in the garden:

They sometimes decide to make their webs across our door frames. This guy took residence across the back door for a few days, thus the warning sign:

Since he feeds our “stray” Meadow every morning, my husband unfortunately walked through a web one morning this week. At least the spider was gone!

Now for some non-creepy photos:

(Taken from my cell phone. They were both on my lap.
I had to use the flash so they blinked, but it’s still a cute photo!)

August 31 – September 6, 2008

So I spent the first part of the week in Virginia Beach, but I don’t have much to show for it. We saw the B-52s perform on the beach Sunday night … but we far away and my photos are really bad.

I did get some shots at the Billy Idol show the night before that were slightly less crappy, but that would have been for last week. I had to go to bed after the show and couldn’t edit any more photos. I’ll have to do a follow-up post later with some concert details.

Anyway, the only shot I feel like sharing from the beach is this slutty pirate from “Pirate’s Paradise” mini-golf. We played there last year, too, and had to return for a rematch! (Uh, I lost both. But I was really close this year!)

Here she is. Not exactly a great photo, but it makes me laugh.

It’s obvious that she would struggle with a bra, but I wonder how she tied the knot in her shirt?

The kitties fill out the rest of my “Weekly Winners” slots.

I spent a good chunk of time Saturday on the couch with Jeter, waiting out the “tropical storm.” (Just a lot of rain around here.)

He looks all sweet and cuddly, but it can get a little painful. Sometimes he gets grabby.

Sometimes he gives love bites.

But he usually gets away with it because he’s so cute!

Now, I don’t want to leave out the others … here’s Posey snuggling on the bed:

And Joey trying to reenact last week’s photo:

He likes sitting there.

That’s all for this week. Visit more Weekly Winners at SarcasticMom.com!
