201/365 - Pump House

201/365 - Pump House

(Apparently I took very few photos on day 201 of Project 365, and those I took were kind of blurry.)

This is our new pump house (still under construction, obviously) as seen from the fenced yard (near the patio). Donald's made a lot of progress on it since this was taken, and on this past Saturday (May 15th), we shingled the roof. Once the painting and trimming is done, I'll take more photos.

13/365 - Teal Squirrel

13/365 - Teal Squirrel

It's a dreary day, and I don't expect to be taking many photos, so this particularly uninspired photograph will have to do.

The squirrel came from Dollar Tree, I think. He was never very attractive, and I'd planned to paint him and use him as a garden ornament, but somehow I never did.

After he spent some years outside (fading to an even less attractive state), I finally brought him inside for painting. I wasn't sure how I wanted to paint it, but this wasn't what I had in mind. However, in a moment of madness, I gave the whole thing a wash of watered down teal paint-- leftovers from something else I'd just finished painting.

I can't decide if I like it this way or not... He looks kind of moss-grown, which I do like, so I'll probably leave him like this for a while.


Editing: The usual + a light Ortonizing & a hint of Vibrance.

Edited to add:
Well, I actually did take a few more photos today-- of a little snake I found on our fence.  I guess I'll leave this photo as the picture of the day, but if I'd known there'd be snake photos to be had later on, I'd have waited.  ;o)
