I found this under the floorboards.

I’m not sure what to say today so I’m just going to leave the picture for you to look at.

I was going for something completely different when I started with this, but as the camera searched for the focus point it made this sun shape in the center. You can still see the color of the crayons in the rays extending outward from the sun shape in the center. And right now it is snowing and there is 3-4 inches of snow on my driveway. It is supposed to go on all night so that is going to be fun tomorrow morning. But since tonight there is no sun, I think that it is appropriate to add a little sunshine to the day.

I think this describes perfectly the way I am feeling this week. It’s only Monday and it feels like the week is chaos already. Unfortunately, I don’t see things calming down until, maybe, the end of the week. So I’m just going to be a mess of colors and splashes of wax for the next few days.

Just as a side note, glass may shatter while you are melting wax on it. I would suggest that you find a different and better way. It was not my most stellar day for coming up with the right way to do things.

The light on the USB guy is out. To light it up he decided to go fly a kite and hope for a lightning storm.

Today I just folded up a bunch of papers and stacked them up. Then I took a picture. It was a day of limited ideas. It happens and I’m not sure what the real solution is, I usually just have to try something until I come up with an idea that works for me for the day.

Ever feel disconnected? How about totally connected? What does this picture mean to you?

Since it is the end of January, I was thinking about how we are a month into a new year, and well past the point where we are pretending to have resolutions that we plan to stick to for another 11 months. And as I looked through some pictures I thought about the physics class where you were asked where to shoot to hit the monkey if it let go of the branch at the same time you fired. The right answer, if you didn’t take physics, is at the monkey. Why, you ask? Because gravity.

Gravity pulls down on us all and if we don’t keep reaching for something higher, we all slip down and end up hitting a target lower than we intended. Sometimes, it is so easy to forget what we were aiming for because of the forces around us that continually pull down on us.

That which does not kill us may make us stronger, but that which makes us stronger sure can be painful. The good news is, that usually the pain dulls after a while and we can carry heavier burdens the next time. Sometimes when we have that strength, we can pick up those around us and let them lean on us for a while when things are too heavy for them.

Sometimes you just have to be different.

Sometimes it’s good to swim with the crowd.

It depends on the crowd.

Is the red swan right or wrong? Or is it just weighing its options?

Today I looked through some of the pictures that you saw littering my floor two days ago and picked a giraffe as the subject of today’s post. I didn’t just throw them all on the floor because I wasn’t pleased with some of them, it was a matter of needing to spread them out to dry. Then for the picture I gathered them together to illustrate how many experiments I had gone through for the day.

I wasn’t planning to do a whole bunch of these animals, or at least I didn’t plan to make them a recurring theme in any of my posts, but as I worked on them I thought they might be a fun print that a child would enjoy. And they were abstract enough that I think there might be a lot of stories that one could come up with while still being able to identify the animal in the picture. The lion from a couple of days ago might be an exception. The more I look at it the more I’m not positive it captured “Lionness”.

I think that it is important to imagine things and to be creative. So, I leave you with blue giraffe eating green leaves and splashing in a puddle, or whatever you imagine it to be.

Today I thought I would photograph a USB port. You can dock your computer, watch the data flow, or sit back and look out at the C. If you’re up to it you can load some cargo if you watch out for memory leaks. I’m going to stop right there, but feel free to carry on with the puns and plays on words, there are a lot more that can be added here.
