A Photo A Day [Days 306-308]

I'm still catching up on picture from the long weekend. Hope you all had a great holiday!


My husband and I took an impromptu trip to the beach. Of course, by the time we got there it was starting to get dark so we barely had time for a quick walk on the beach and a few photos. Still, it was nice to dip my toes in the ocean for the first time in a long while.



This is a highly edited photo from the beach using one of Picnik's featured effects. There's no rhyme or reason as to why I chose it other than that I like how it enhanced the original photo.



Went for a walk in a new (to us) area. Despite being assailed by flying bugs who seemed unable to avoid us it was a nice change of pace. Saw lots of Queen Anne's Lace as well as about 15 rabbits during our short walk. It's like they've been breeding like, well, rabbits!

Snooki Pumpkin - The Horror! The Horror!

12 days 'til Halloween. I am not ready. Don't have my decorations out and don't have enough candy for the kids. Let's not discuss the fact that my "costume" will consist of a pair of jeans and one of my many Halloween t-shirts. My lack of preparation this year is frightening me. It's just not like me to be like this!

I now present to you the most horrifying pumpkin you can expect to see all season:


That's right. You too can make your very own Snooki pumpkin thanks to The Swell Life. For those of you not in the know, Snooki is an unnaturally orange creature that haunts the streets of the Jersey Shore, leaving behind in her wake terror and puddles of booze-filled vomit. The pumpkin is a surprisingly accurate replica although the real Snooki is much more orange. But this is close enough.
