313/365 - Wide Angle Trixie

Trixie doesn't know I'm sharing this embarrassing photo. ;o)

(By the way, that's my hand she's licking.  The wide angle lens distorted it, so it looks a little weird in this photo...)

262/365 - Pool Party

Aunt Carla and Uncle Johnny hosted a grill cookout and pool party-- an Independence Day weekend tradition, now, since Granny and Aunt Carla both have birthdays right about then. (There are a few more photos of the day in my Flickr photostream.)

243/365 - Stormy Weather

Not much to say-- stormy, dramatic clouds + wide angle lens = this photo.

Note: Some of my Project 365 photos have gone missing. Either I deleted them before they were uploaded or they disappeared into a black hole on our computer. Or I never took them at all, and this is just an early sign of insanity. I've looked high and low; they're nowhere to be found, so for present I'm just skipping days 239 through 242 (June 10th through 13th).

238/365 - Triximo

Every now and then, I try to get a good photo of one of the dogs with the wide angle lens. So far, it's proven difficult. To get the really good distortion I want, you need to be right in the dog's face, but when I put a camera that close to our dogs, they either turn away or come forward and threaten to get wet dog nose all over the lens. It's going to take some patience and luck...

223/365 - Patch of Blue

Also known as a break in the clouds.

218/365 - New Neighbors

My parents' new house is still not quite finished, but it's further along than it was when I took this photo (May 20th), and it's only a matter of days/weeks, now! Every now and then, we walk over to have a look at the progress, though we go less often now that all the big stuff is done (and the heat, humidity, and weeds of summer make it less pleasant to walk).

(This is the back of the house, by the way.)

216/365 - Foreboding

I was in the mood for a little murky, eerie imagery today-- and the weather complied-- so the rest of you will just have to suffer through it. ;o)

215/365 - Wide-Angle Sky

We were having fun that afternoon, playing around with our new toy-- an ultra-wide-angle lens. This was the day we got it.

Prepare yourself for many photos of the sky, most of which will probably bear a strong resemblance to this one. ;o)
