Day 349 - I'd Call It Vintage

Our old Toastmaster. I think we got this thing as a wedding gift, and in June we'll celebrate our 15th anniversary, so I think it's about time for a new toaster. It's not like toasters are pricey, but it's just one of those things where it's always worked, so we've never bothered replacing it.

However, something that can handle four slices and bagel sizes would be nice.

Day 348 - Not Connected

Seems like I've been getting this message a lot lately, and it's quite annoying. It only lasts for a few minutes when it happens, then it comes back on. I wasn't sure at first if it was my service or my home network or my computer itself, but I discovered that when it happens, it also affects the other computer in our house, and I don't think it's a network problem, because I can still perform other network functions, just no internet, so the problem must lie with my service. This photo is from Tuesday.

Day 347 - Cold Fountain

Here are a couple of views of the "Trinity" heart sculpture in front of the Heart and Vascular Center at King's Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, Ky. The recent cold weather has left some interesting ice shapes in the bottom.

Day 346 - Watch

Slow photo day Sunday.

Day 345 - Swim Meet

Kenzie doing her freestyle at Beaumont YMCA in Lexington on Saturday. It was the 12 and under state YMCA championships, and she finished 5th overall in 25-yard backstroke, 6th overall in 25-yard freestyle and 7th overall in 50-yard freestyle.

Day 344 - Master Chief

Friday's shot is of James' Halo toys he has around the office.

Day 343 - Reece Likes the Gameboy

Reece discovered his sister's Gameboy Thursday night.

Day 342 - Morning Moon

A full moon shot taken at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. There's actually more daylight than there appears to be in the photo, but to get the moon detail, I had to bring down the exposure, which turned it a nice blue to purple gradient color.

Day 341 - Window Light

I lit this toy in a dark room by sitting the camera on the floor with a five-second exposure, and using a small cheap flashlight to shine on it. I was actually just playing around, never intending this to be anything, but thought it ended up being sort of a neat effect. The window light is from an incandescent on the front porch.

Day 340 - Is this thing about over yet?

Running low on ideas Monday, and didn't have much time to go look around for a photo. This is from Lisa's glass collection.
