So NOT a happy camper!

Hannah is usually such a content baby, but she woke up early on a recent Grammy Day and napped fitfully here and well...you get the idea. Then, she had to suffer the indignity of pictures as she progressed from a priceless pout...(Lisa's bird could perch on that lip!)...

to a single tear...
to a full-blown meltdown!

Tomorrow I'll show you the only thing that would calm her down...

Evening Reverie...

KC is such a lady! (I need some new subjects, but this one is always available!)

Kara wins!

...but I should probably disqualify her since she was with me when I bought these. :) There were several good guesses ....lamp, candlestick, salt shaker... This was another challenging object to photograph. I wanted to capture the iridescence of the mother of pearl without blowing out all the highlights....best I could do (purposely underexposed and used a polarizing filter). These are a favorite of mine...totally unique...antique...made in Paris...Now, don't you want to spritz on some expensive perfume and head to the opera?

Now what is THIS?

Couldn't resist one more guessing game (last one). What is this?
Play along!

Close, but no winners!

Kim and Lisa were both close when they mentioned tassels. I forgot about the tassels in our kitchen and you're right, Kim...they do look similar. Lisa, the close up texture reminds me of crochet too. I had a hard time getting a shot of this that I liked...tried a bunch and this was my favorite. I know Bob wondered what I was doing!! (Love the reflection of the tassel, but not the reflection at the top)...
Thanks for playing along! One more guessing game tomorrow!

Guessing Game

I've been going through Kim and Lisa's archives and thought their guessing game with macro shots was fun. Check it out here: Kim's question http://picsbykim.blogspot.com/2009/05/can-you-guess-what-this-is.html and answer http://picsbykim.blogspot.com/2009/05/traci-wins and Lisa's examples htmlhttp://lisacphotography.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html (top 2 pics) and http://lisacphotography.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html (scroll to the bottom). Thought I'd try a couple of my own.

Can you guess what this is?
I'll post the answer in a day or two. And remember, it's no fun if you don't play along! :)

Yellow rose of Texas...

Hands down, favorite image of the day...oh, the beauty of God's creation! (Took this for you mom...know yellow roses are your favorite!)
