Day 109 of 365
It's nice to see that when officials forget to mark the kids playground with obvious numbers. The good people of this town step up to the plate, use their own materials at their own cost and clarify things for the rest of us.
Bravo!

Impressions Of Fall
Day 108 of 365
Impressions of the fall season left on a worn out garden bench.
Something about this Japanese Maple leaf blending into the bench just caught my attention.

Sea Of Cup Cakes
Day 106 of 365
Happy 1st Birthday James!
These wonderfully colored cup cakes were all the rage at a birthday party we attended today.
I was good and resisted them, thanks to the sugar free alternative that was just as amazing.

Asian Turkey Burger
Day 105 of 365
Asian style turkey burgers with wasabi mayo and crinkle cut fries. When I'm watching what I eat, this is one of my favorite alternatives.
Thankfully it's a family favorite also,

The Perfect Hitch
Day 102 of 365
Today we feature an individual [not present in photo] who takes great pride in the mooring their boat.
All sailors take notice of this perfect Cleat hitch and coiled rope.
I have no idea what I'm talking about, but the image is cool.

100 Photos
Day 100 of 365
100 days already. This year is flyin' by.
To celebrate this milestone we made a t-shirt for the girls to jump around in. I was only going to post one picture, but they were both so cute and the pictures so fun, I couldn't resist using both girls.

Daffodil Season
Day 99 of 365
I emerged from the cave to do a little cleanup around the yard today. I'm greeted with grass starting to growing, leaves beginning to sprout and all of my Daffodils are blooming this super yellow.

Day 98 of 365
The fifth and last letter of a week long photo challenge where I am spelling my name with photos of interesting letters.
I was worried all day because I didn't have "N"y ideas that fit the project. But, thankfully as I was driving home across the Manette bridge I looked over at the old Manette TV sign and in hit me.

The fourth letter of a week long photo challenge where I am spelling my name with photos of interesting letters.
Today I found this worn our Parking sign with had hand painted lettering from quite awhile ago.

Y
The third letter of a week long photo challenge where I am writing my name with photos of interesting letters.
This letter is from the old ROXY Theater in downtown Bremerton.
Today I announced "I've got to go take a photo of my letter". Somebody said "Why?" and I said "Yes".
At least that's how I want to remember it.

R
Day 95 of 365
The second letter of a week long photo challenge where I am writing my name with photos of interesting letters.
This letter was spray painted onto a cart labeled "caRdboard" at Northwest Trek. I loved the paint peel and random drip in the middle.

B
Day 94 of 365
This is the start of a week long photo challenge where I am going to attempt to write my name with photos of interesting letters.
This letter is is part of the re-purposed Nelson Building sign from downtown Bremerton. It was salvage from the old building and imbedded into the concrete of a new one.

Breaking Surface
Day 93 of 365
This was my favorite photo on a trip we made to the Seattle Aquarium. This starfish was just breaking the surface and the reflection was a very cool mirror image.

Rusty Barrel Reflection
Day 92 of 365
Walking around an empty K.C. Fairgrounds today I saw these rusty old barrels with water pooled on the tops reflecting the sun and clouds in the sky.
I'm trying to find the beauty in everything.

Heads Up
Day 91 of 365
April Fools Day
I couldn't think of anything cleaver for April Fools Day. So, I took a weird picture of my daughter with a 10mm lens I borrowed.
Isn't her head huge?

Cloudy Constance
Day 90 of 365
For a brief moment this morning the clouds parted and Mt. Constance made a bright appearance out my window.
It made me think of all things Constance. Hi Mom!

Dirty Flowers
Day 89 of 365
Today I discovered a very cool App for the iPad stupidly named "100 Cameras in 1 for iPad" by Trey Ratcliff. This app allows you to take a photo with the iPad's camera and run it through a filtering system to give it artistic renderings.
So I went to the garden took a picture of some flowers an this was the image I created from that photo.
Very fun app. Shitty camera on the iPad 2.

Chili Lunch
Day 88 of 365
My wife makes a killer chili. Nearly every Sunday I am excited that she cooks up a double batch so that I can eat this for my lunches. With a little Tabasco sauce and some tortilla chips it is simply amazing.
The best part is she doesn't use tomatoes.

Got Gas
Day 87 of 365
15 years ago a me and a friend went part hunting for this rare gas cap that went to his rare 1969 Mustang GT project car that he never got the chance to complete. Thankfully it was never sold, so today I get the opportunity to get a nice shot of this little gem.
Yes it's a gas cap, but it's a very cool gas cap. When this was manufactured America was on the brink of a gas crisis not unlike the one today.

Niece Movie Night
Once in a long while my niece comes home from college and graces our home with a visit. That usually means we rent a movie and pop some popcorn.

Cherry Blossoms
Day 84 of 365
Everywhere I look this week I saw Cherry blossoms blooming. A gorgeous day provided me the opportunity to go out and capture the moment.

Casting Shadows
Day 83 of 365
Today was another beautiful afternoon. I was able to take a walk with with my beautiful wife and daughter downtown at the fountain park. The sun was shining bright overhead and casting cute shadows.

Joyful Sunrise
Day 82 of 365
Wonderful sunrise this morning.
When I arrived at work I caught this interesting image of a silhouetted Turner Joy with the sun blasting out yellow highlights around the hull. The reflection in the marina water was something I had not seen before.

My How We Change
Day 81 of 365
When I was going through the shots I took today. I had a revelation of just how much we actually change.
A comparison of age 3 and age 40.

First Day Of Spring

Just like clockwork the sun shines, the temperatures rise and the flower buds begin to open. It is a almost perfect first day of spring.

Super Perigee
Day 78 of 365
I waited all day for clear skies and a hopeful shot of the rare Super Perigee Moon.
I'm glad I got one because I nothing else in the basket to post.

Story Time
Day 77 of 365
Tonight we planned on setting up my daughters new "Big Girl" bed. Unfortunately I made some major miscalculations and bought the wrong size mattress for the frame. Complete F'up.
With the crib down and only a bed frame my wife made a great makeshift sleeping arrangement for my daughter. These are my girls just before bedtime reading a story.

St. Patty's Balloon
Day 76 of 365
With a name like Flynn you'd think I would come up with the perfect St. Patrick's Day photo. Unfortunately I'm still stuck in recovery mode and limited to subject matter. This year I'm settling for daughters very colorful St. Patty's balloon floating on the ceiling.
No bars, no black and tans, no jig dancing and no trying to remember Who the F@#k Alice is.

Perfect Get Well Bouquet
Day 75 of 365
It's not like I normally get flowers. I don't really have anything to gauge this against. But, if I were to build the perfect bouquet for myself, I think this would be it. Giant bright orange daisies, green and white Irish carnations, perfectly purple orchids and wonderfully white roses with a spattering of other amazing flowers.
It is simply stunning. Thanks KCU Marketing for lifting my spirits!

Hello Nurse!
Day 74 of 365
I've spent the last 24 hours with very few photo opportunities from this hospital bed. This little button is the most interesting thing I have to play with, so I took a picture of it.
Did you know that everytime you push this button somebody shows up and asks what they can do for you? I want one installed at home.

Laid Up
Day 73 of 365
Today I woke at 1:45 a.m. to an unbearable pain in my stomach. A quick trip to the E.R. and I was diagnosed with Acute Appendicitis. I went under the knife this afternoon and now I'm laid up for week.
You just never know how fast things can change.

Dropped In
Day 72 of 365
With all the depressing weather we've been having, I thought I would show a little beauty in it.
Outside of our home, where the rainwater drips from the corner of the eve, there is a small collection pool. The pool is filled with little rocks, lots of moss, the occasional flower and the steady dripping of rain on a day like this.
Catching the crown of a drip is not an easy task. For this one capture, I took about a 500 shots.

Head Tilt
Day 71 of 365
This is Lola, my mothers Chihuahua. She is a weird dog. She never seems to let me down when I have my camera out. I think this is her version of the cute dog head tilt. A bit exaggerated, but cute none-the-less.

Podclops
Day 70 of 365
I have always been fascinated how quickly the youngest just grasp the newest of technology. When we first handed the iPod to my daughter more than a year ago she just picked it up like it was the most natural thing in the world.
I'm not even sure I should be teaching her to use a mouse, it seems so backward to her.

Too Wet To Ride
Day 69 of 365
I can't imagine what this poor sole went through on this nasty, rainy, windy and just all around shitty weather morning. Even in a covered parking lot the puddles formed. under the tires.
The bike was there all day, I think they called someone for a ride home.

Golden Age of Photography
Day 68 of 365
I love this camera. It is an amazing example of the roots of photography. My good friend Sean was gracious enough to think of me when he was in an antique store. It certainly has a lot of character and is quite a prize.
This evening I was practicing a technique of bouncing my flash off of colors to get a light effect. In this case I was bouncing my flash off my yellow shirt to get the golden light casted across this camera.

End Of Line
Day 67 of 365
When I see things like this, I feel like I'm the only person in the world. But, if that were true, who's using all the toilet paper up?
The fact is, I'm the only one in the world changing the toilet paper.

Dashboard Tiki God
Day 66 of 365
When my awesome In-laws asked me what I wanted from their trip to Hawaii. I told them I wouldn't mind a dashboard hula girl. But, knowing how manly I am they figured this masculine Dashboard Tiki God of War was much more suitable.
They were right.
[Hey Justin, this ones a GOD!]

Tunnel of Fun
Day 65 of 365
After yesterdays yearning to go outside and play (see photo of Day 64), today we took my daughter to a real park so she could play on the slides.
The trip was short lived because of a small accident. It was amazing how the urine made a direct track down the leg and straight into the rubber boot. Not to mention how effectively the rubber boot retained it without leaking.

Dreaming Of Playing
Day 64 of 365
My daughter in her P.J.'s wishing she was outside playing on her playground set which is reflected in the window.

Antique Tractor
Day 63 of 365
I was driving with a friend near Seabeck and spotted these old broken and rusted out tractors being eaten by the earth in a small field. The gate was open so we pulled in to take a few photos. When we were finished, on the way out, we noticed a sign on the gate that said "No Trespassing, Violators Will Be Prosecuted". Ooops! No harm, no foul.
Is the moral of this story "No Trespassing" or "Don't leave the gate open stupid".
David Gray Concert
Day 62 of 365
I knew when I woke yesterday morning the shot I wanted for the day. Unfortunately I only brought my iPhone, it was late and there was no light in the concert hall.
At least I keep it going, even if the photo sucked.

Soaring
Day 61 of 365
Working in one of the taller buildings in town provides me with the opportunity to see the birds fly by at eye level. This was a shot out the window at my desk.

Milestone
Day 60 of 365
I had a great idea for my 60th photo. I was going to drive to the freeway pull over and get a picture of the 60 MPH speed limit sign near mile marker 49 of Highway 3. After I got that shot (which is great) I realized it was only 11 more miles from a shot that was far more meaningful to this project.
Check out the first shot here:
60 MPH
