Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

Day 2....a long way to go! lol Check out the cake plates I made out of plates and candle holders. Don't laugh, but I have thinking of gifts for Christmas...yes, I said Christmas. These are both for Christmas gifts. Cake plate #1 ~ Goodwill plate .99 cents and candle holder $1.99. Plate #2 - Same deal as #1. All from Goodwill, same prices. I really like the little flowers on the stand of plate # 2. Thanks for stopping in,

Yes, I decided to go for it again.... another 365 days of posting something! So today I start out with BIRDS. And this post is for my friend P2.. more wildlife from my backyard P2. Came home yesterday afternoon from work and spotted this really BIG bird in the backyard at the end of the drive. I only noticed him cause he was big and I knew he was not my regular visitor. I ran in and got the camera and tried to get close but before moving in on him I got this shot...he was eating on what I think was a small bird cause I found the feathers. I know its not a great shot but I think it is a hawk? Apparently Mr. I think he is a hawk has moved in around me somewhere cause this evening as I pulled into the drive again, I noticed him sitting in the tree over the drive. Went in for the camera but he got away. Next I watched this Chickadee land on a branch so I went after him with my lens. Beautiful red bird just sitting pretty for me. And here is a male and female red bird....sitting in a tr...

I made it...I made it....I have been posting a blog or a photo a day for a whole year today....Yippppeeeee! Here's a recap on some I posted. Enjoy.. Now, tomorrow do I start all over? Thanks for stopping in,  

First I want to say Happy Birthday to one of my oldest and dearest friends, Barb. Hope you had a great day. Barb and I have been friends since I was about 12 years old, and anyone wanting to do the math...I am now 51 yrs old. Barb lived down the street from me and I stayed there almost every Friday night. I was the maid of honor in her wedding and our kids are the same age. Her first son, Phil, was born in Nov. and my daughter was born in Dec. Six and a half years later, my son Cory came along in July and right behind him in August came her second son Christopher. We may go months without seeing or talking to each other but I know that for me, her and her husband Phil are always there... I hope they realize that I would always be there for them also.   Now on with the post......This is Holly, my niece, daughter of my youngest brother Mark. Holly is one of those people that there is not much she can't do....sing, act, play piano, sports and grades. So I was n...

I am playing along with another group today that I just found thanks to my friend Pam (P2)... so this will actually be my second post today for day 363 (almost there for my year). So jump on over to blogging from Bolivia and check out some more great shots on Marco Friday.,.... I am a couple of days late on playing along but I hope that is not an issue. This is my marco shot for today. Caught this beauty a couple of weeks ago when the magnolia trees were in bloom. Aren't they just such a perfect bloom? Thanks for stopping in.....again!  

Welcome to Sunday Citar! This blog quote meme was created by http://www.freshmommyblog.com/ . You can stop by her blog to see the quotes and photos that she and everyone else is loving right now. There are just some days that it becomes hard to keep your thoughts and comments to yourself so on those days I need to say this quote to myself. ~My quote today is~ ~Lord as I go through the day, PLEASE keep your arm around my shoulder, and your hand over my mouth.~ Thank you for stopping in,  

A shot I caught when I was out shooting with my niece last weekend. I am always scanning everywhere I go to see if there is something worth shooting. Might not always have my Nikon with me but alot of times I can catch it with the point and shoot..... or file it back to return to with the big camera for the best shot. Thanks for stopping in,

Tuesday morning while on my way to work I had a really nice view. It was a beautiful start to the day and the weather was so nice. This is the view from the front of my car. This was what I saw coming up in my rear view mirror. Very, very pretty. Have a nice day. Thanks for stopping in,
