Day Two Hundred Forty One 2010

Random Sunday

Granddaughter Shelby looks like the girl in Willy Wonka who ate the super blueberry candy. I was showing her my new lens and flash filters. She thought it was pretty cool.

Cream City Ice Cream Shop is always a nice treat any day of the week.

"I am Iron Man!"

The Iron Man robot belongs to grandson Elijah, but Grandpa Neil had tons of fun with it this afternoon, loading the missiles he fires from his shoulder armour (or some such).

Elijah works the robot with the remote control. Iron Man walks and talks and sometimes falls over backwards for no reason at all. I don't think he's supposed to do that, but it's funny when he does.

He's pretty scary when he's coming at you. This is Iron Man in the Solaris color setting.

He was shooting missiles at me while I took his picture. He is way cool. And yes he actually says I am Iron Man but it's just a regular guy voice--would have been cooler with the Black Sabbath version. Kids today have no clue as to just how fabulous their toys are.

Elijah in Solaris. Come to think of it, he had just as much fun playing with a yardstick this afternoon. It became a sword and he battled monsters. Imagination is everything. Always.

Day Two Hundred Thirty Eight 2010

Just For Fun

I ordered these plastic color lens and flash filters from the Photojojo store online. If you enjoy photography and taking pictures, you should check out this website. It's tons of fun with cool stuff to buy like unusual cameras and accessories. I saw these filters--you just hold them in front of your camera lens or over your flash and click--and thought they might be fun.

I took a few sample shots just to test them out this afternoon, aiming toward the bright light filtering through my front door.

There are eight of these little plastic cards in the proverbial rainbow of colors.

I won't bore you with every picture I snapped.

I think I'm going to have some fun with this.

Photojojo http://www.photojojo.com is a fun and playful website. Each time they send your order, they enclose a dinosaur which is listed on the invoice as Rawwwwr! No charge, of course. Check it out sometime.
