Project 64, Week 13: Spring Green

The Crayon color this week for Project 64 is Spring Green....and what could be more Springy or Green than a Spring Peeper???  OK..I know I've used pictures of frogs before...but the name of my blog is Spittin Toad after all.  :)

 I have always loved these little creatures...Salamanders too!!  When I stumble across one I still have the urge to catch and just hold it in my hand.....

I'm afraid there is no hope of out growing it...I am 50 ya know.  :)

The sound of frogs croaking on a spring night is music to my ears...After hearing a loud c-r-o-a-k on my patio I spotted these "little guys" in a small water garden ....last year a frog laid eggs in it....the tadpoles were so fun to watch grow... I wonder if either of these are the same frog..or maybe a returning baby?



                           Now hop to it (I know that's bad but I couldn't help it) and join the fun!!!

And don't forget to say Hi!!

Project 64, Week 12: Tickle Me Pink

Spring is slowly arriving on my little farm and this weeks color for Projects 64...Tickle Me Pink was such a pleasure to look for!!   I headed strait out to my garden....which always makes me smile....in fact you could say I was "tickled" to do so!!  :)

Anyway I found a Plethora of Pink....



Pink Primroses

This shot of my Primroses is my favorite...I love the little white edging around each petal....Of course I edited it (along with the rest of my photos) on Picnik ...I am so happy I found that web sight...it's easy to use and has made a huge difference in my photos!!!  I give it 3 happy faces!!  ;) :) :-)

 Here is and example of what one can do...pretty good...huh..OK for all you pros this is probably no big deal...but to me (with my very old camera) it's simply AMAZING!

 Of course so is my Flowering Current...The hummingbirds (or as we like to call them the hummers) just LOVE this plant!!


Another close up of my Current



Here is a picture of my Daphne...It's not a fabulous looking plant...but the flowers are Oh So Fragrant... I have one planted by my front door.

A Sunday Drive...

Last Sunday I had to take my son to a friends house to work on their History Day Project...It was way out in Indianola by the bay...Wow what a beautiful place to live!!!...Anyway on the way back I got kind-of lost....not super lost ...just kind-of lost...I knew if I kept driving up hill I would eventually hit the main road!!! Have I ever mentioned to you that I believe that things happen for a reason? I truly believe this....You just have to trust in God!!!

Soooo as I was driving up this super long hill...there it was on the side of the rode with a FREE sign on it....This WAY COOL TV.....Well of course I couldn't pass it by...There was a vintage dresser next to it but it was to big and heavy for me to fit in the car by myself...Both pieces may have been out in the weather for a day or two because none of the drawers on the dresser would open...but had it fit...It too...would have been mine!!!

The TV is a Panasonic and I have no idea what year it is...or what I'm going to do with it...Garret has already taken the back off trying to figure out if we could put a flat screen inside....at this point he says that won't work....Hmmmm...Don't need another aquarium!! :)

I did my usual and checked  Etsy to see if the had any TVs like this for sale.....just to see what it's worth...but they didn't have any...not a big surprise.....it would be pretty heavy to ship!!

Anyway...while I was looking I came across this great little pin from Not your Grandmas Vintage that I thought was worth sharing!

Project 64: Week 11 - Scarlet

This picture was actually taken last fall...but it was too perfect for this weeks prompt from Project 64...Scarlet (Not to mention I have been to busy at work to get out much). 

Mr. Tree Frog wasn't hard to spot......He was  just sitting there on my Peony plant with his lovely green skin showing up as a shinny contrast against the bright red color of the leaves.

I took several pictures of him before he decided to hop off....The one on the left I edited with  picnik using  HDR-ish on the effects page.....I think this just might be my new favorite tool!

Thanks for visiting!!!

Pebbles and his Magnificent Head of "Hair"

As I mentioned in my last post...My little Polish chickens are my very favorite to photograph...They are also the entire family's favorites to pack around  and cuddle with...yes I did say cuddle...I have never had cuddly chickens before...but these guys are truly content to just sit on your lap and snuggle!!

Any way over at Madeline Bea's Sunday Creative her creative prompt for the week is MAGNIFIED....and I thought these photo I took of Pebbles were perfect!

Just look at that head of "Hair"....hey you might say it's MAGNIFICENT....Hee Hee.
Stop by Madeline Bea's and join the fun!

Sunday in My City...Chasing the Moon...

Last night I threw the whole family in the car... well OK maybe I didn't throw them...but we all got in the car picked up Grammie and headed out to get the perfect view of the moon...It was the closest to earth than it has been in a very long time....I think 18 years...but don't quote me on that!!!

 We drove around for a while because my "darling" husband was sure that there would be a great view of it in an housing development...Duh???  Anyway we finally convinced him to head North towards Poulsbo where we got these shots of it coming up over Liberty Bay.

My camera is an old point and shoot...so the pictures didn't come out the way I had hoped...but after doing some editing on picnik I decided the weren't half bad.  ;)
