Our House
Despite the date on this photo it was actually taken yesterday (3-6-07). My sister had asked me to take pictures of our new house (also our first house) so she could see what it looks like. Her husband is in the Army and they live in Arizona. We've lived here almost 2 months.

Thai Restaurant, Berlin
Post outside a Thai restaurant. Food there is pretty over-rated so I won't say more.

Rock Ice
We went into Nashville today and on the way in there are these amazing rocks along the side of the road, and when it is wet and cold we get these beautiful icicles coming out of the rocks. I snapped this as we drove by I cant believe it turned out so clear!

22nd January
No, there isn't an ATM in the stop sign ;)
It's advertising the fact that the restaurant in the strip mall has one available. As does the grocery store next door, the gas station down the street, the bank, etc....
21st January
This is the same tree that was covered in Christmas lights and snow on the 1st of December. Now, no lights, but it's covered in snow once again. The flash picked up some more snow that was still falling at the time.
20th January
Here's a quick way to melt the snow - just leave a washing machine discharge pipe on top of it. You'll have no problems clearing your path. Just make sure you have somewhere to drain the water, otherwise you'll have a bigger problem. ;)
19th January
I picked up this travel literature way back in 2001. I still have it, despite throwing out a lot of other stuff this day. Interestingly (and quite logically I'll add) the "Getting About Britain" guide is in proper A4 size.
18th January
This is what happens when you pick up the paper until the next day - it gets covered in snow. It used to be that the paper was reliably here around the same time the mail came. Now, if it comes before 5pm it's a good day.
17th January
No, it's not a treasure map, it's just the tracks in the snow from my dog. However, if you were looking for, well, you know, I'm sure that those tracks would lead you there.
16th January
Having no leaves means the sun gets through quite easily, and it also makes an interesting photo due to the shadows off the branches.
15th January
Kind of a "Stuck in the middle with you" scenario here for the Cigar store. Then again, they don't need too much space for their wares, and since they don't have such a large roofline, the rent's probably cheaper.
14th January
Ahh, fresh strawberries. Well, not exactly; they're frozen ones from the store. Pretty good tasting, but a little soggy in eating.
13th January
Yay! Here's the box to my new flat panel monitor. Definitely the last time you'll see this box all together. ;)
11th January
Being unusually warm for January, these folks decided to let their pup pop his nose out the window for a sniff of the outside, at 50 mph

2801
A really good example of mother of pearl. These are pastel type colors but you can get all different kinds. I love these shells.

The plants are all different, so I can't wait to see what other flowers and colors we get. I was so happy about this I took many photos of it today as well, and here's the best one. But not long after I took this, the flower closed for good and the plant threw it off. It seems the flowers don't last long.

I bought these Hibiscus plants some months ago but they were in tiny little pots which didn't have a lot of soil in there and what was there didn't hold water. We originally were going to put them into the garden but then the landlord thought they might sell, so instead I kept going to get bigger pots for them but we always ended up repotting other plants instead. But then they started to not look well and the need became urgent. We repotted them two weeks before this shot was taken, and the plants went absolutely nuts. They grew much taller, and bushier, and this was the first of many flowerbuds to open.

I am such a shell fan, because I love the mother of pearl on the inside. This one is really green which is a bit unusual.
2301
I love taking photos of this because no two are ever the same. Most of the time I like to take long exposure shots but this is fairly short and it gives you another effect.
1801
Kangaroos having a snack by Durras Lake - right next to where I was taking this photo, there is a caravan park and people had roos sitting with them by their vans but I couldn't take a shot without them noticing.. ;)
