"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."
- Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885

Day Two Hundred Forty Four 2012

Freaky Fish Eye Friday


My grandkids, Elijah and Shelby, were good sports and let me take their pictures this afternoon, using the fish eye lens on my Canon Power Shot SX 230. The fish eye distortion of the human body is totally freaky and good for a laugh. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Fish Eye (or Bend Me, Shape Me....)





I was playing around with my little Canon Power Shot SX 230 this afternoon and discovered the fish eye setting that I had no idea was there. (Actually, I discovered several photo settings I didn’t know the camera had.) Makes me kind of sea sick just looking at these. Fun.

Day Two Hundred Forty One 2012

We enjoyed a spaghetti dinner at Fazoli’s this evening, and this is how my hubby Neil eats his pasta—he uses a spoon to twirl it onto a fork, which he says/argues is the correct way to eat spaghetti. I, on the other hand, cut my spaghetti (hack it to pieces, he claims)  into bite sized forkfuls and think nothing of it. Different process, same results, I say. He says it tastes better his way. I roll my eyes. We agree to disagree, and now we’re both stuffed with spaghetti.  È squisito!
