Broken

Broken streetlight in Port Jefferson.  Found it on my lunch break

BROKEN

Amazing how when you look around, there are more things broken than you ever thought.

Breakfast

I am very particular about my tea in the morning - it has to be PG tips and it has to be in one of the "cat" mugs.  I also eat cereal but apparently my cereal does not look good in photos.

BREAKFAST

Soy milk and a banana - my kids don't get me.

Bread

In our house we pretty much only eat bread as a cheese-eating-utensil.

BREAD

Spicy pulled pork sandwich on a Portuguese roll.

Bold

Usually Seb goes to work wearing one of his many blue shirts.  But, once in a while, he pulls off the hot pink stripey shirt.

BOLD

Was at a mall today. I think you would have to be truly bold to wear these.

BODY PARTS

No one would pose except her!

Body Parts

The littlest feet in our house

Blurred

Sometimes after dinner we have "family dance party."  This is Charlotte rocking the dance floor and checking out her reflection in the fireplace.  My brother will be happy to know she was dancing to Michael Jackson.

BLURRED

One of my favorite things in photography is bokeh. The out-of-focus light in the background. Today I took out a small tree from the basement and this ornament. A few years ago, Carly gave this to me but she didn't buy it - she went 'shopping' in the basement. She chose this ornament and gave it to me for Christmas! I kept it hanging on the light over my desk all these years.

Blue

This isn't the photo I wanted to post but it will have to do.  Driving to work I was on the look out for ANYTHING blue... thankfully some mailboxes cooperated with my theme.

BLUE

My favorite color!

Bloom

We had to get new plants for the front of the house last winter.  I have no clue about plants... so when Seb asked what I wanted I just asked for something that stayed green all winter.  The bonus is that they have little red berries.  

BLOOM

Bliss

Awful theme for a monday in the office!!  At least the day ended with my favourite ice-cream.

BLISS

One of my ideas of bliss is Harry Potter by the fire. Since today is 51* there won't be a fire on in the house today but I tried to incorporate a part of the fire with the long matches.

Black and White Image

There was plenty of white in the city today.  It was freezing cold and snow hadn't melted.  We passed a great farmers market outside of the natural history museum.  I wanted to eat the sign... so cute.

BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE

Today, my truck was covered in ice. I went out to warm it up and saw frost on the side window. It wasn't all feathery and soft, more like spiky and sharp.

BLACK

This was incredibly difficult for me. I ended up buying black beans for today's theme. Don't think I'm making anything with them afterwards! Yuck.

Black

One of these things is not like the other....

Beverage

I had an excuse to check out the "beverage" aisle today.  Always amazed at the variety and size of sugary drinks available.  Without the flash I couldn't quite get this in focus.  Oh well.

BEVERAGE

When I think of beverage, I think of juice. Orange juice makes me think of mornings and sunshine.

Best Friend

Friendships can form unexpectedly, in the most unlikely of circumstances.  For some reason people are brought together and later they discover they have more in common than they realized.  This blog is a testament to that.

BEST FRIEND

BENEATH

I stood beneath this plant today which looked like nothing special. The top of the leaves were typical - rubbery and smooth. Underneath however, was an amazing surprise. It was the softest velvet ever. I closed my eyes and it felt like my horse's muzzle or Carly's hands.

Beneath

I found this theme really hard.  In the end this was the only picture I took.  I think I like the way the reflections give the illusion of being beneath the water.

BEDTIME

I bought this book when Carly came home from the hospital and we used to read it before bedtime. Beautiful illustrations and a very sweet story.

Bedtime

My bedtime ritual.  Get glass of water (just in case), set alarm, read book. good night x

Bathtime

The faucets are open, bath is filling up.   But I love that if you look carefully you can see us in the reflection of the faucet!  My other pictures were of baby shampoo.... but when I saw yours I uploaded this instead!!!

BATHTIME

Found at the back of the cupboard. The end of the baby shampoo.

Barren

I drove to our local beach today.  It was so cold.  I took some pictures as quickly as possible and dashed home.  But the blue of the sky was amazing.

BARREN

Barns

I came home this morning with lots of barn pictures... and seb informed me they were sheds, not barns.  So in despair I took the "Uno moo" barn out into the yard and took a pic of that instead...

BARNS

I drove around the neighborhood today, looking for interesting barns. There are quite a few structures that are part of the houses but they were more like sheds. Some might have been barns at one time but the owners have sided them to look like the houses and not at all what I had in my head. This barn is part of a very old home that is now for sale. I would love to see the inside.

AUTUMN

Autumn? Really? This basket was filled with beautiful mums about 2 months ago.

Autumn

The last autumn leaves hanging on....

ATHLETIC

I opened the blog to post this picture and I thought the computer had somehow uploaded it already when I saw yours!!! These running shoes have gone many steps with me and they make me think I am  feel I am athletic.

Athletic

There is so much irony here....

Asymmetrical

Whenever my english friends and family visit the US they always take pictures of the american fire hydrants.  Today it was my turn!

ASYMMETRICAL

This is my Nut Bracelet. I realize its not exactly asymmetrical since the colors are different on each side but I think its pretty close. Shawn made this for me for Christmas. He bought the nuts and string at the store then went online to YouTube and made it. My (asymmetical) Nut Bracelet.

Art

This is the 9/11 memorial in Port Jefferson in front of an ice cream store. Don't like the picture at all but I didn't have much choice at work.

ART
I have to tack on my picture to yours because yesterday was a rough day and I didn't get to posting. This is a picture Shawn drew. I love the drawing but don't like the picture at all.

Arranged

I drive by this little vineyard every day on my way to work.  The rows always look so perfect

ARRANGED

When I think of arranged, my first thought is of a bouquet of flowers, an arrangement. But its January. Today, Shawn made pretzels and arranged them on the cookie sheet (he's my neat nik)

Architecture

ARCHITECTURE

I found this to be a strange house. It looks like it was originally the top of a house, cut off and set on the ground. Maybe its the sloping roof or the long shutters that reach the ground. Maybe because there is nothing in the front - a porch or landscaping. Either way, weird.
