Hexagonal /WWJStick on his truck?

Kerry . Tara


Kerry:
Hexagonal - Brandon on the playground, through one of those domed plastic window thingies.

Tara: WWJStick on his truck? - Every single sticker on this truck is Jesus related. Actually there are a couple of Rescue sticker but most of them are about Jesus. My favorite is "Yo quiero Jesus?" [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]

Obscenity (Theme) : Graffiti / F#@$

Kerry . Tara


Kerry: Graffiti - I was all set to upload a different picture, and then I saw the one that Tara had on tap as a backup for today and I thought, hey, why not make today a theme day? I took this picture at the playground yesterday because I am making an effort to document as much of the graffiti as possible, in case I ever get around to writing a complaint letter about the lousy job that security has been doing around housing. Anyway. It's hard to take pictures of graffiti on this plastic playground stuff because of the way the light comes through it; the letters end up looking translucent and not really showing up in the picture. In this case, it looks kind of cool. (Also, if you look closely, you can see that this picture is actually on its side. I usually upload directly from my camera and I'm too lazy to put it through photoshop first to rotate it.)

Tara: F#@$ - No cussing signs at the oceanfront in Virginia Beach. [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]

Wispy-Puffy / Giddy Up

Kerry . Tara


Kerry:
Wispy-Puffy - Clouds. How horribly unoriginal. They were really pretty, though!

Tara: Giddy Up - I thought this carousel horse was funny because it had a dead bunny and a gun hanging off of it. [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]

Chipped / Blown Away

Kerry . Tara



Kerry: Chipped - The playground where I took this picture still has sand instead of that squishy asphalt stuff they use now. At first I was like, hey cool, this place is old school. Then I realized that it smelled like poop. That squishy(ish) asphalt stuff might scrape up your knees pretty badly if you fall on it, but at least it doesn't smell bad.

Tara: Blown Away - My old dog, Lulu. [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]

Raindrops / Beach Watcher

Kerry . Tara


Kerry: Raindrops- It rained while we were at the park today. Then it stopped, then it rained again. It was a very light rain, so we stayed outside. Anyone who's lived in Hawaii for more than a week or so knows that light rain rarely lasts for more than five minutes. Anyway, I thought that the glare of the sun through the raindrops on my sunglasses looked really cool, so I held the lens of my camera up to the lens of my sunglasses to take this picture.

Tara: Beach Watcher - My niece, Haley, looking down at the beach from the restaurant on the Virginia Beach pier. [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]

Coffee / Creepy Trees

Kerry . Tara



Kerry: Coffee - I don't really know what to say about this picture. I don't even really know why I took it. I just thought it looked kind of cool. Tuesday was my walking buddy's birthday, but since we don't walk on Tuesdays (I teach on Tuesday mornings) we "celebrated" yesterday. We were going to go to Coldstone (at the bottom of the big hill) but neither of us really felt like ice cream, so we got coffee instead. So I guess that's the story behind this picture. It's coffee.

Tara: Creepy Trees - I took this at around five in the morning when we stopped for gas somewhere in North Carolina. [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]
