Day # 78: the Inch Worm
Met this little guy in my car on the way to work this morning. I didn't want to flick him out the window, as that would be certain death, so I carried him all the way to work on a piece of cardboard.
Once we arrived at work, I put him on this typical manila folder on my desk to take this picture. To give you an idea of how tiny this little bugger is, this particular folder is less than a quarter inch thick.
After I took the picture and watched him boogie all over the place, I picked him up and took him outside to be in the plants. No worries, I made sure he was well hidden from the birds!

I already took that photo yesterday, but it matches perfect with the theme and so I take it as a photo for today. Hope you don´t mind! =)

Made that photo tody in the Technical Museum of Vienna.
That´s the hand of my boyfriend - if you´re wondering! ; )
Alison: Day # 74 - # 77
The last installment. This means I'm finally caught up. I have no excuse not to stay caught up either. Things have settled down now. I'm moved, my job is back to normal, I have internet at home again, everything seems to be settling for the time being.
So here we go:
Day # 74
The anchor. My parents have owned this thing for quite some time now. It's cool, I think. Their house is on the water and they've got this great nautical theme going on.
Day # 75
Karolyn gave me these daisies from her bridal shower. What a great party favor -- they're drying in my kitchen window as I type this.
Day # 76
This Rosary is the other example of the black/dark object on a bright white background. This one's from St. Patty's day. I didn't get to celebrate much, but it's okay. I'm only a percentage Irish. =]
Day # 77
This buoy is only about an inch and a half in diameter. It's tiny and it's hanging in my living room.
THE END!
See you tomorrow!

Alison: Day # 69 - # 73
This is Part III of the four part installment series of my getting caught up on the photos of the day.
Day # 69
Dandelions. They're hopeful flowers. Actually. As hopeful as I perceive them to be, truly genius is what they really are. Take your typical flower -- a rose, a lily, a coreopsis -- these flowers depend on the animals of the earth to pollenate them. Dandelions count on the wind (or children, or me).
Anyway, I love them.
Day # 70
This is a seed pod I collected off a "great specimen" of a plant that grows in my office's yard. I don't remember what kind it is, but I remember a lady stopping by and raving about how she'd never seen one so big. I'm took these seeds home in hopes of growing my own whatever-it-is.
As you can see, the pod itself is drying out and becoming quite brittle, when this begins to happen, the seeds fall to the ground and start anew.
Day # 71
I was at work the other day and fell very painfully ill. I left work early and went home to try and sleep it off. When I talked to my mom she said, "go to the doctor now!" So I got dressed and drove myself to a walk-in clinic. After being diagnosed and getting a shot of anti-biotics in my rear, the nurse asked me to sit for observation of any possible allergic reactions for about ten extra minutes. This is what i did while I waited.
For those of you not from the US, perhaps this is what the typical walk-in doctor office looks like.
For those of you living in the US, if you ever need to get Cipro (an oral antibiotic), ask your doctor or prescriber if he or she knows anything about Publix filling prescriptions for Cipro for free. Because my doctor was kind enough to tell me up front, but if she hadn't, I would have gone to CVS. Publix gives Cipro (and other oral antibiotics) for FREE.
Day # 72
I wrote a personal blog about this day. To the untrained eye, this looks like my sister and a guy laughing while he licks a bowl of ice cream, but to me, to Susan, and to the guy, this picture represents the first time Susan and I have seen Tommy, a childhood friend of mine, in six years. This was taken the day after his birthday and while he was visiting Florida with his wife and daughter while on leave from the military.
I didn't realize how much I missed him until I heard him laugh for the first time in such a long time.
We were at Chili's and since it was the day after his 24th birthday, Susan asked the wait staff to sing to him and bring him an ice cream.
Day # 73
Dad and Bowie. There isn't much more to say about this one. I love my dad more than anything in the world. And I love it even more when I catch him candidly laughing. This is him, with he and my mom's spoiled poodle named Bowie. I don't remember what he was laughing about, but I remember Susan and Kelly were sitting in the direction he is looking and they're always up to something funny.

Day # 63
Charley, my girl. She was so anxious to explore her new house when I moved, but for the first handful of days, I wouldn't let her out because I wasn't fully unpacked and didn't want her to get into anything. When she did finally get to explore, I determined, based on her behaviors, that she likes the place. =]
This picture is of her stretching as she slides out of her hammock (that colorful thing) and onto the drop down door and toward me so I can put her down to explore.
Day # 65
I posted day # 64 already. You can find it here. This is day # 65. Jon-Michael and I were on our way to my parents' house in separate cars. I noticed the moon, called him, and he suggested we pull over and photograph it. Well, those pictures didn't turn out well, but while we were pulled over, he waited patiently for me to do some experimenting with extended exposures. Here's my favorite one for you.
Day # 66
This was Karolyn's bridal shower. She's Jon-Michael's sister. I already consider her a sister of mine and had such a great time getting to know her friends and extended family at the shower. This is her and Momma Soracchi hugging during the shower. I'm glad I captured this moment.
Day # 67
Lucy. She's my girl. The more introverted of my two dogs. I don't think she likes the camera much. While Blondie is so easy to photograph, Lucy behaves as if the camera is going to steal her soul. She almost always moves away from the camera when I take it out, and if she doesn't flat out move, she definitely looks away. This picture is a rarity! I caught her off guard. She had been facing to the left, I snuck out, knelt down, and called her. When she turned and saw the camera, it was as if she'd given up. She just reluctantly put her head down on her paw and gazed at me. Such a beautiful girl!
Day # 68
More bottles. Only these belong to my new housemate, Angela. She's got a small collection in comparison to my mom and dad's collection. But hers are also sitting in a place where sun is able to pass through. Like I said, something about bottles catching sunlight appeals to me.
