Macro 31/31: 'Tatoes

Molly loves boiled potatoes. I like them, too. I like them even better when they're subsequently fried in butter (and spices).

Macro 30/31: Vroom!

You are forgiven if you think these look like either hardened wads of earwax (ewwww) or chocolate-covered insects. However, they are actually chocolate-covered "cars"-- as in Bilar, Donald's favorite gummy/marshmallowy candy from Sweden.

Macro 29/31: Invasive

This Japanese climbing fern can be very pretty. Too bad it's invasive...

Macro 28/31: Trixie in Profile

How can the same dog be so charming at some times and yet the ultimate brat-butt at others? It's puzzling...

Anyway, here she was in one of her non-brat-butt moods.

Macro 27/31: Sunshine Yarn

This is the color I'm using to edge the squares in the Circle of Friends-based afghan I'm currently making. I'll also use this sunny yellow to join the squares and make the border. (Or at least the foundation of the border... I'll make the final decision on the border once it's all put together.)

Macro 26/31: Fluffy Weeds

Random fluffy (& blurry) weeds...

Macro 25/31: Variegated Thread

Pretty and bright...

Macro 24/31: Indian Hawthorn

Lots of berries around home this time of year...

Macro 23/31: Running Trixie

...in hot pursuit of the frisbee.

(Not the sharpest photo I've ever taken, but I like how alert she looks in it...)

Macro 22/31: Weed Seeds

Last year, these were pretty purple-pink wildflowers. Now they're interesting seed pods.

(I think these are a type of Agalinis, formerly known as Gerardia.)

Macro 21/31: Waves in the Sand

We spent part of the day at the beach. This was my first time there since the mess with the oil last year. Everything looks beautiful and clean again, thank goodness.

The dry portion of the beach was covered in these little wavy lines-- and if you watched closely, you could see grains of sand scudding over and along them, carried on the brisk northerly wind.

Macro 20/31: Rosy

Close-up of a potholder I crocheted. I actually made two of these quite some time ago, but I just now got around to crocheting around and attaching the plastic bone rings-- the finishing touch!

Macro 19/31: Before & After Oatmeal Cookies

I think this may be the first time I've ever made oatmeal cookies. I was impressed with the results, though (if I do say so myself!), so I doubt this will be the last time.

Macro 18/31: Bird on a Wire

...two photos combined into one.

(The sky behind the bird was actually a very flat grey, so I used a photo I took of a different part of the sky.)

Macro 17/31: Making Progress

I think I have nearly half the squares I need for this blanket.

Macro 16/31: Saint Petersburg

...which we played on Sunday afternoon. :o)

Macro 15/31: Dominion Intrigue

...which we played on Saturday afternoon. :o)

Macro 14/31: Color, Stacked

...It's getting taller, slowly but surely!

Macro 13/31: Feed the Birds

On such cold days, they appreciate a little hospitality.

Macro 12/31: Goodbye, Christmas.

I sorted and put away all the Christmas ornaments, and Donald took down the tree and put it back into storage.

Goodbye, Christmas, for another year.
