Day 4

I went out and about the town today with the wife and my youngest daughter. We didn't do much, just to A.C. Moore to get some poster board for a background and to do some grocery shopping. Speaking of which I think the clerk at the grocery store paid us to shop there today. We paid for our groceries with cash and debit card. Once we swiped the card she gave us the cash back and the wife and I looked at each other and asked her if she was sure. She said she was and we left the store wondering what had just happened. Rebecca checked the bank account from her phone and realized that the clerk had only charged our account the difference and not the whole amount. In this day and age I will take every break I can get. Have a great night everyone and support your local grocery store, they might just return the favor.

Day 3

Had another very cold but sunny day here in central Maine. I went down by the river again today and took some more photos facing west. The river is thinking about freezing and there are small patches of ice floating downstream.

Orton Bridge

Ok, so I know that I just posted my 365 picture but I just tried the Orton Effect on one of the photos I took today and am very happy with how it turned out. Just wanted to share it with all of you. Have a good night everyone.

Day 2

Today has been a fairly good day. My mom watched the kids while the wife and I went and did some shopping. I also stopped downtown to take some pictures of the old train bridge. I took my 365 picture there as well as a few others that I think came out decent. I am mulling over ideas for photos for tomorrow since Kyrie will be back in school and I will have a day to myself. Possibly exploring Water Street here in Augusta. There are some great spots down there if you don't mind walking a little bit. I hope that you all have a great day and an even better tomorrow.

Day 1

I have decided to restart my 365 day self portrait project. I was doing it last year and the move caused me to miss days after completing over 300 days. This year I will be focused and I will complete it! I will not be posting the pictures to Facebook because I often have to re-size them which causes some distortion to the original image. I do hope that you will follow me on here or on my Flickr account. Have a wonderful year everyone and I look forward to your comments and criticisms.

It's Electric

I had to rewire the outlet for the clothes dryer today. I am getting pretty good at this electrical thing though. I have also in the past week replaced the porch light and three receptacles. The wife of course couldn't resist taking a photo of me being "Handy Manny" as my youngest daughter calls it.

Arrived

We have arrived here in the great state of Maine. It is wonderful to be back home after being away for so long. It appears that we have brought winter along with us. Kyrie is loving the snow and McKenzie keeps the wife and I busy all day while her sister is in school.
