Day 61 - Poulet Brûlé...

...Or as the French would say, "Burnt chicken".  Okay, it wasn't really burnt.  It was actually just right, and pretty tasty!  One of our local stores has chicken breasts on sale for 99 cents a pound, so I couldn't resist.  The smallest package I could find was $5.50 and had 7 of them in it, so we have lots of chicken.

Anyway, I tried a marinade that turned out to be kind of blah.  I think it would have been just as good if I would have just brushed them with olive oil and threw em on. 

But they were colorful!

Day 60 - Terra Cotta Kittys

Wow, it's been two months since I started doing this picture-a-day thing!  I still have a ways to go don't I?

These are just a couple of the assorted kittycats that are scattered around our house.  All I can say is, it's a good thing she doesn't actually collect kittycats... Who knows how many we'd be tripping over.

This was just a very dim (15-watt?) light bulb in a decorative lamp that lit this shot.  They're not actually this color, but ended up this way because of the weird lighting.  I chose this one because of the shadow it cast.  Okay, I like the overall effect too.

Day 59 - Tree Root Swirls

Suzie and I were at the beach at Redondo today and found this.  It's the root side of a tree trunk, and as you can see it was bleached and pounded by the elements turning it into smooth and clean driftwood.  It was made even more interesting by the rocks that the tree had grown around in a couple places during its life.  The swirls made quite an interesting effect.

You can't really tell how big it is either... I'll leave that up to the reader to ponder.

Day 58 - A Cold One on a Friday Night

I guess the title says it all.  I know I can do better at this, but it's almost a self-defeating quest if you know what I mean...

I'd better just stop with this one for now.

Day 57 - Just a Barn

I was driving home today and took a different route than usual.  I do that a lot lately.  As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I even have a "regular route any more...

This was off the main road on its own private drive so I was able to turn around and go back without any traffic problems.  Like I said... Just a barn.

Day 56 - Rainy Day

I was sitting at a stop light when I snapped this picture today on the way home from work and I noticed something:  In front of me were 3 people walking across the street with umbrellas.  None of them were together, but all of them were Mexicans.  Hmm... Makes sense I guess because you hardly ever see locals with umbrellas...

Okay, now that I read it, it doesn't look even worthy of mentioning.  Never mind.

Day 55 - Doors

This is a shot of our front door from the inside looking out.  Why did I call is doors plural?  Because you can also see the screen door in the shot.  It wouldn't be quite the same without the screen showing through.  Remember... Click for full size...

 
What are you looking down here for? Get outside and take some pictures!
