Princess Jewels

It's Almost Thursday!!



Who isn't distracted by shiny things?

I was just bopping around the house looking for something shiny and I remembered the "jewels" in "The Princess Potty" (aka - my daughters' bathroom). This is a better picture than the one I have in my header. Yes, it's the same jewels, I just think this was way better lighting, color, and degree of shininess :)

Please join in the fun and show us all your shiny stuff. All I ask is this:

1. Post on Thursdays - Mr. Linky is available now - so jump right in.
2. Choose your favorite, because only one picture is allowed each week.
3. Use the button code below in your post (putting it in your side bar is optional, but much appreciated).

Inside A Hot Air Balloon

I haven't played Ruby Tuesday in awhile. So, here I am :)

Although it's mostly on the orange side, I thought it was okay for Ruby Tuesday. Orange is made from red, right?

I got to talking to the pilot and his crew at the Hot Air Balloon Race this past weekend. As they were blowing up the balloon, one of the crew members took me to the slit they open when decending and let me stand inside the balloon.

That's propane firing into the balloon. Yes, it was hot. I had to make sure I stayed on the grass and not on the balloon itself. It was a difficult task because it was really windy and the balloon kept rolling from side to side. I'm lucky I got a shot this good, most of them were blurry because I had to keep moving.

I'll have more balloon shots coming this week. Once I talked to one pilot, it was really easy to talk to others. No more from inside the balloon, but some other close-up, cool ones.

To see other Ruby Tuesday shots, stop by Work of the Poet.

Classic Mustang

It's Almost Thursday!!



Who isn't distracted by shiny things?

On a recent excursion throughout the neighborhood, this guy was making the rounds. Seriously, I heard him across the lake and was bummed that my camera didn't have a strong enough zoom to catch him. As it turns out, he was just cruising. Not speed cruising, more just showing off his cool, buffed, shiny classic. I heard the rumbling and knew he was heading my direction. I stepped out in the street to get him to stop. He was more than happy to let me take pics.

Fire Escape

I follow the photo blog of Heighton-Ridley whom I believe to be a pretty fine monochromatic photographer. His images have a very dramatic quality and I can't help but to study them so I don't miss anything.

He's having a giveaway in the month of September in which you can win one of his prints - you can see all his work at his main photo site (http://www.highton-ridley.co.uk). I personally like Church Yard Sentinals. I suggest you stop by and check him out and get yourself entered in the contest - you actually need to enter on his blog. To see the rules, visit September Freebie Prize Draw now open!.

Please let me know if you enjoyed my monochromatic image today by leaving me a comment!

Old vs New

Another shot from Chicago. This was just a nifty building detail until I got to look at it closer on my computer. It's actually an indian chief's head dress above a bald eagle. I have no idea what the name of the building is, but I found it very interesting that it depicted the both the native americans and the symbol of a new nation in one architectual element.

Even though I've walked past the local wine bar on numerous occassions and had never really paid much attention to the chairs. The sun was shining just right on this day. I couldn't help but notice those chairs!
