I have a ton of sites that I check out everyday for various things but mostly for the photography. 90% or more are daily photoblogs like mine but there are a few that stand out everyday and a few that have abolutely brilliant moments. This is one of those absolutely brilliant moments captured nearly flawlessly by Martin Kenny at Seen Objects.

I can’t get enough of that boy in his Spider-Man suit. I hope his spirit never gets squashed!

Erin and I bought a string trimmer today from Lowes. After some research on Consumer Reports online, we decided to get the Troy-Bilt TB70SS. It has multiple “optional” attachments like a blower, hedge trimmer, and edger.

The thing about trimming is that it always looked so fun when I was a kid watching my Grandpa trim around the bushes and house. As a matter of fact I did think it was fun when I was a kid and got to do it for a few minutes. But now that it is my responsibility as a homeowner, it just isn’t as much fun anymore. I mowed the yard trimmed around the whole thing.

On a related note, I still have not completely mowed the front hill in our yard. I thought the timmer would make it possible but I still cant reach the whole thing. As I was struggling away at it the nice elderly lady from across the road came over and asked me if I wanted to know how to cut the hill? I said sure. She told me almost amused with herself and her secret knowledge, “You need to tie a rope on the mower and lower it down…” I had suspected this was the way I needed to do it but had not tried it yet. Guess I am going to need to buy a rope at Lowes next time I am there :)

Ok so my birthday is right around the corner and I thought I would throw this out there. If anyone wants to make me really happy they could find items on my B&H Photo wishlist that would put a giant grin on my face! Here is a link if you are interested (or just nosey…that’s ok too:)

Have you ever seen anything like this before?

These two birds were out on the porch last night in different corners of the porch and now tonight when I came home they were sitting in the same corner right nextg to each other. I am assuming that they are sitting there all night but isnt this odd? Click on the image to see it larger.
