Fire trucks

Antioch, CA

They rolled three Engines and a Captain, but by the time I got there with my camera I missed the action. Oh well.

Resurrection

Antioch, Ca

When I lived with John I had my father build me a closet because my room didn't come with one. When John got us evicted, my father suggested I save my old closet "because you never know when you might need one again." I begrudgingly kept it. Well it turns out the new place I'm moving into doesn't have a closet. So I dug this out of storage and now I'm eating crow.

Post #600 & Happy Birthday to John - his 41st.

Clyde, Ca

I got stood up tonight by a friend. We were supposed to move his TV. While waiting for his return call I found this nice web and tried to photograph it. First I tried my flashlight and then I tried using my flash. I'm not happy with either. I think for it to really work I would need to back light the web with a flash below the frame of the camera.

Apple Mouse

Antioch, CA

The 13 year-old has an internship this week at a candy store. She dipped this apple in chocolate and used other cookies to make the mouse face.

Storm moving in

Antioch, CA

When I got out of church it was sunny over my head and very dark north of me. So I went down by the river and took shots of the storm moving south.

(More shots across the water - BTC)
(An almost complete rainbow, if I had merging software - BTC)

rainbow

I need my dad's picture merging software to do these three pictures and the rainbow justice.

broken wrist

A friend of mine broke his wrist playing hop scotch.

cloudy sunset

Antioch, CA

We've had cloudy rainy weather the last few days, then today was clear, but tonight after sunset it got cloudy and windy again and by morning it should be down pouring again.

gutter at night

Bencia, CA

I went out to dinner with some friends tonight. The more and more I take night shots the more and more I think I need to invest in a Gorrillapod.

new tub

Oakley, CA

We got our new none-working bathtub at work today. Technically we got it on Tuesday, but it was 1.5 inches too big to fit through the door so it sat out in the hall way until today.

therapy

Antioch, CA

I have always found washing other people's dishes to be therapeutic. Washing my dishes is a chore but others is perfect therapy.

Inaguration Day

Antioch, CA

I try to not be political on Photo a Day, but I was very happy to be an American today. To see the dreams of Martin Luther King fulfilled and to see our country come full circle from the atrocities of the 1800s - what an amazing day to be an American. I watched as much as I could at home before going to work. Once at work we were left to listening on the radio as the bandwidth for the County's computers were over ran. I came home tonight and listened to the speech one more time and was reminded of what a great country I live in. I loved how Obama reminded us that we are the same hard workers and innovators as we were before this economical crisis. We are the people that put a man on the moon. We are the people who helped two men start a computer company in their garage. We are the people that brought home the Power Soccer World Cup. This hasn't changed since the economic crisis. We've made it through tough times and we will do it again. Because we are Americans.

As icing on the cake, it was nice of MSNBC to show the white moving trucks packing up the last of Bush's crap. Good ridance.

(BTC - More from Yesterday - I like the third one the best)

Chabot Lake

Chabot Lake, Castro Valley, CA

I took my dad on a hike/bike adventure today. I couldn't decide on just one photo a day for today.

(BTC - dogs separated at birth)

(BTC - blurred waterfalls)

waterfall trickles

Who the heck brings Starbucks two miles on a hike?

seperated at birth

We saw a ton of dogs today. These two were the cutest though. As soon as they saw each other they raced toward each other. They sniffed each other and played with each other. They didn't play with anyone else, just with each other. It was like they were long loss cousins.

hog

I've always been a sucker for a Harley, especially one of the police style ones.

bigger boys

The whole gang including Supper (Mama)

The black ears are Lunch's ears. Lunch is a little camera shy so all you get in his ears.

This is Dinner. The 9 year-old accidentally dropped him and now Dinner has a tipped right ear.

dew drops

Oakley, CA

I was trying to catch the dew off of the right corner of the sign but I think my lighting was blocked too much. But hey - at least it ain't a sunset picture right?

contrast in lawn lines

Antioch/Brentwood/Oakley CA

I like the swirls on the hill and how they contrast with the rows level with the camera.

pink trees

Oakley, CA

One of these days I'll remember to go take pictures during lunch or during the morning, but until then you will keep getting this crap.

caned

Oakley, CA

We still have candy canes left over from Christmas.

snuggling zoe

Antioch, CA

Zoe was awfully cuddly tonight. She was all over me as Tom had me watch this TV show I've never seen before: 24. The show wasn't bad but Zoe was a little annoying. I was glad when the 16 year-old got home and Zoe went to annoy her.

doodling

Antioch CA

I was playing Skipbo with a few of my future roommates tonight. While we were playing, the 9 year-old was asking for requests for pictures. The dragon and monkey were my requests.

I took Fancy Simple's advice and instead of running errands during lunch I went down to the Delta and took pictures.
