Catching Up

A friend came into town this past weekend, and all the happy hours, wine tastings, eating, and laughing, not to mention an incredibly luxuriously relaxing Sunday, got in the way of posting photos. But I did carry my trusty camera and phone with me, and I did my best to remember some of the themes of the day while out and about. Let's see how I did.

March 11--Someone You Talked to Today: I have no idea who I talked to on the 11th, but I did talk to these two lovely (albeit underexposed) people on Friday night. So that will have to suffice.


March 12--Fork: My goal had been to capture a sign of the restaurant in town named Fork, thus killing two birds with one stone, but we never made it that far on Friday. By the time I remembered the theme, I had already polished off my ricotta-stuffed mushrooms, some sea salt flatbread, and several meatballs. Yum! This was all that remained.


March 13--A Sign: A couple signs seen on the walk back to the car after a lovely happy hour at Flatbread Pizza in downtown Boise.


March 15--Car: This guy was in front of me yesterday on the drive home from the airport. I have no idea what he has against gyros. I think they are a very tasty treat. In fact, last night, this license plate must have been lingering in the corners of my mind, as I decided to order up a bunch of Mediterranean food from Mazzah's for our book club. Yum, gyro meat. Or maybe he doesn't like gyroscopes? I don't know. It's a puzzle.


March 16--Sunglasses: It's time to feature another gorgeous niece, doing her best Vogue in my monster Smith sunglasses. (My camera phone does not have a flash, obviously.)


March 17--Green: On St. Patty's Day, I headed out to the local co-op to gather up the ingredients for our wine-tasting tailgate party at Indian Creek Winery. As I walked back to my car, a bagpipe piped up from around the corner. And there was a guy in a kilt (yes, I know, kilts are Scottish, and not Irish ... as are bagpipes, technically), serenading the parking lot. I know a lot of people aren't fans of bagpipes, but I think they are so eerily cool (when played well).


Wow, I am ALMOST caught up with the month.

Whoopsie!

Yesterday, in searching for the next five photo-of-the-day topics, I actually decided to sit down and read the rules. Apparently, this photo-of-the-day thing requires carrying your camera/phone around and taking pictures of the day's theme on that day. Go figure. I have been seriously cheating.

So yesterday, I started taking pictures in the actual moment. This is going to be much harder, as this now requires me to think about the theme while I'm out and about, remember to have something to carry a device to capture that theme, and then, the hardest part, get home and get it from my camera/phone and onto my computer. For many people, this is easy. But I have an Android and a Mac, and the two do not always play nicely together.

Yesterday was not the 14th, but I thought it was, just like today I think it is the 15th. I'm also having serious trouble remembering whether it is 2012 or 2013. Really. I think all the talk last year about 2012 being the end of days made me think that 2012 already happened. Anyway, none of that is important ... well, is any of this important, actually? So, I went out and took a picture of clouds, because that was the theme for the 14th, which is what I thought yesterday was.

Confused yet?


I love my retro camera app almost as much as I love my nieces. It makes photos look so cool.
