On my way home from work, sitting at a light waiting for the train to pass.

Riley went to go hang out with friends. I had the pleasure of spending the day with these guys and my bike. Not a bad way to spend the day. Happy Memorial Day.

Went to go visit a friend. She made dinner, mushroom ravioli with tomatoes, spinach and rosemary in olive oil. I brought the wine. It was soooo good.

Riley and I both got out early today. We stopped so she could get lunch and then we went furniture shopping. She came across this at one of the stores. If Riley were a pattern this is what she would be. Very geometric.

Riley decided to add purple to the blue that she had going. This covered so much more than the blue. It has so many shades of pink and purple. I looks even better in person.

Sometimes dinner turns out better than expected. The mixed vegatables were so good. Riley said it was the second best thing I've ever made. Just behind my grilled chicken pasta with pesto cream sauce.

I went out to Fair Park to pick up Riley and Rane from the Music Hall. I got there quite a bit early and walked around and took some pictures. This is one of the trees wrapped in lights near one of the doors.

I was out front doing some yard work and this one showed up again. It was getting dark and I love how she blends with the sidewalk. I hope she stays out of the street.

I went out to my brother's house for my niece's graduation party. I forgot about the eclipse and luckily stopped to take some pics of a huge field by the side of the road. When I turned around I saw this. So much of this is just dumb luck.

A friend and I went out to the country to go ride horses. This was such a pretty girl. She wouldn't pose for a photo though. And my horse wouldn't face me at all. He was an older horse and I think he resented having to carry my butt around for an hour.

I came home from work and went for a ride on my bike. When I got back I did some work in the back yard. There were so many butterflies/moths like this one all around the yard. I like that you can see the sun shine through the white spots in their wings.

I made the Greek Chicken Pasta Salad, again. I made this Tuesday night and sent it with Riley for her and Rane for lunch on Wednesday. I had it for dinner tonight. It's so good. I am so glad my friend showed me this one.

Today is my second daughter, Rane's, birthday. Riley and I took her out to dinner to celebrate. This is a huge brownie sundae that is so big Riley and Rane could hide behind it. They are so much fun to hang out with.

I made dinner tonight. Chicken in a tomato sauce with red and yellow bell peppers over cilantro rice. This photo isn't nearly as good as it tasted.

The rain came in really quickly at my house today. I stepped out on my back step and took some shots of the rain landing on my potters bench. I love that you can see the reflection of the splash.

Went back to In Sync Exotics with a friend and her kids. I'm glad Riley came up with the idea to get together with them again. It was good to see them after so many months. The lions were really vocal today. Very cool hearing them "talk" to each other.

I was going to go home and trim some branches on the tree in the back yard. This is my view out my window at work. I hope this clears up so I can get some work done.

Riley and I went to my niece's graduation. She's finishing high school at Richland and graduating with an Associates Degree. We had fun seeing some of the family. Unfortunately some are out of town and missed it.
May 9, 2012 - Wednesday
Spent some time putting a new desk together at work. I had some extra parts that I wasn't sure what to do with.
May 8, 2012 - Tuesday
Went for a walk to get some lunch today. There were two dogs tied up to a tree outside one of the diners near here. This guy was one of them. He was much more calm than the other.
May 7, 2012 - Monday
I went to pick up Riley from her mom's place. There's a pond behind her. There were a couple ducks with lots of little ducklings running around. Fortunately these were close enough to get a decent shot.

Went to a friends house for some grilling, smoking and drinking by the pool. This is our host, Louie. Doesn't he look really cool in the eveing light? He looked at me all night long trying to get me to give him some grilled chicken.

This is the same blossom from yesterday. It's almost completely dried up. I took this around 6p today. They don't last long. I really like how bright the pink stem is though.

This is a Magnolia blossom just outside my bathroom window. I thought it was so beautiful in the morning light. By the time I got home tonight it was completely opened and yellowing horribly. Tomorrow morning it will almost be wilted away.

Riley's mom dropped her off at my office this afternoon. We went to get a late lunch and then walked down to Zen Bakery. The Birthday Cake in the background was good. The Choco-choco-chocolate in the front was delicious.

This guy was on a post in my alley as I was pulling around this evening. It's a little soft because I was shooting through my windshield. I was surprised how close I was able to get before he jumped to a tree and took off.
