Turning Circles

This week's assignment at You Capture was "Circles."  I have been scoping out windows in buildings, tailpipes in cars, and these awesome circular sculptures that hang in the library at work.  But.  But then I got sick, and instead of venturing out bravely into the cold, I snuggled under covers and sacked out.

Today, however, I drug myself back to work.  Unfortunately, by about 2:00 p.m. my head gained approximately 53 pounds in weight, and, nodding forward, I realized what I really needed was more sleep.  I prevailed however, and stuck it out my 8 hours before driving home and taking a quick snooze on the couch.  

When I awoke, it dawned on me that today is Thursday (I'm real quick on the uptake when I get sick!) which meant I'd run out of time on You Capture.  My goal this year is to enter at least one photo-type blog entry each week, so that I can force myself to practice my photography more.

All this to say that I got out the camera and prowled my own little abode for circles.  Hopefully next week I'll get beyond these four walls...

 

This little gem is a music box that my aunt bought in San Francisco for my 18-year-old son when he was about a year old.  Being the good mom that I am (and a closet frog-lover), I immediately stole it for myself put it in a safe place for him, so that it wouldn't get ruined.  The box plays "Singing in the Rain" while the little frog dances.  Still one of my Evan's favorite toys.

I *Heart* bird houses.  But I keep them inside for decoration rather than outside where they'd be personal fast-food restaurants for our outdoor kitties.

 

Patriotism abounds in this house. And we are so proud of our men in uniform.

 

In addition to bird houses and frogs, I have a thing for owls as well.  I won this little guy from Our Name is Mud.  I just love his little eyes, don't you?

 

Then finally, catastrophe struck: 

Being my usual graceful-self, I pulled a chair out from the table to stand on.  Alas, the cord to my Scentsy was wrapped around said chair leg, and crashed to the floor.  

:o(

At least I was able to stick with the theme..  Guess I'd better go back to bed.
