"Rain, Rain, Go Away!" - Or Please, come out & play!

This pictures is definitely a case of not knowing what you've got until you dig a little deeper. We haven't had rain here in San Diego in about two weeks and as we head into the dry season it looks like we won't be getting much more this year. It's a challenge for me to grow a garden (just another thing to take care of) and moreso in conditions that differ a lot from NJ's seasons, but with extra attention paid to the watering, our garden is thriving.

I was taking pictures of the plants, two strawberry plants, a tomato plant, some wildflowers and two tiny pots one of tomato (from seed) and the other of peppers (from seed)... unfortunately, I forgot to label them... lol So I guess we'll see what grows from each.

Anyway, back to the story... I was shooting the plants when I noticed the drops of water from an earlier watering lingering on the leaves. I shot in macro, but the pics were jus so-so. When I got them uploaded I blew this one up to the actual pixels and low and behold, picture 13 :)

Update!

Okay, so maybe it's not such a "twin thing," anymore. Any of you that know us in real life, and most of you those of you that only know one or the other, know that we have a love/hate relationship. Well, the LOVE has taken it's course and it out like a winter storm. Both of us being as stubborn as we are and the fact that we won't see each other for a couple of months, makes this phase a little longer.

That, paired with some personal issues I have going on, I haven't really taken any pictures the past few days. I promise I'm not giving up though. I didn't get the chance to take a frozen treat picture but I did get to the Carlsbad Flower Fields (SD girls they close this SUNDAY so get there before then if you haven't been!) today and I got a bunch of awesome pictures. Here are 5 of my favorites. Check out my FB for the rest of the pics!!!

Hopefully, the tide will turn and things will settle down between the two of us and the pictures will start rolling in from both ends. Until then, please stay tuned for more of my photos!

Today's Theme is....

Frozen Treats.

"Empty" - Bowl

Cody is quite the character. This is one of those completely unplanned pictures. I was sitting on the couch on the phone with one of my friends when Cody makes an appearance with his empty bowl in tow. He does this quite often. Luckily my camera was sitting right next to me.

It wasn't until a few minutes after I snapped this that I went into the kitchen to get another cupcake (see: Sunday's theme) that I realized that he did something else that he does often. He emptied that full bowl of water all over my kitchen floor.

Thanks alot Cody! I needed to mop the floor anyway!

Today's Theme... No Post...

Today's theme was suppose to be empty. I got some crappy news today and I'm really not up to taking pictures. I'm going to try my hardest to take one tonight, if I feel better, and if not I will take & post an "empty" picture tomorrow along with whatever tomorrows theme is. Sorry.

My FAVORITE picture so far...

Our 1000th view. :)
