30 Days of Photographs IV: My junk

September 17, 2013

Junk or no? You be the judge.

OK, so I’m pushing it a little here.

It’s not really my junk.

But considering I’m only in a couple days of this challenge, I figured I’d push the envelope a bit. And if somebody didn’t like it all that much? Well, one of the head honchos is in Finland, so I’m not too worried. Plus, it’s not like the leaders of said challenge haven’t pushed the buttons a little in my monthly challenge, right?

RIGHT?

On the tree = NOT junk. Definitely my tasty treat.

Exactly.

So anyway, this photo I’ve chosen for this challenge comes from picking apples yesterday. The goal of apples is to make an Apple Crisp Ale beer. Yeah, you heard right. Yum.

But that’s not junk, that’s pure awesomeness.

This place had so many apples and so many varieties. What caught my eye was the apples not on the trees. Are these junk? Still good? I don’t know. I stuck with plucking them off the trees.

Some on the ground looked fine. Some not so much. I imagine those would be junk. Maybe not mine, but you get the idea.

To see other’s who are participating in the challenge and did this day’s image, head over to Ziva’s Inferno to check it out!

    I don’t know how apples can be junk unless they’re worm ridden. Right there I see one third of my morning smoothie.

      Care to share this smoothie recipe?

        Scoop of protein powder, one banana, one apple and a cupful or so of frozen berries. Add a little milk and throw it all in the Vitamixer until smooth.

          Thanks, Paul. I don’t have protein powder, but I’m sure I can get it. Sounds like something I’d like to try. I might have to do it and then do a blog post about it. 🙂

Had a good time catching up with some old friends Had a good time catching up with some old friends this weekend and taking Harper to a new place to explore! A good weekend got a #geocaching mega event!

Harper went dock diving today! I'll have more phot Harper went dock diving today! I'll have more photos (likely on her instagram - @Harper_dublin) when I go through them today, but she ended up off the low dock. It was awesome! I also took photos from in the pool, which was a cool vantage point!

Humans don’t deserve the loyalty and love a dog gives. But I’m sure glad I have it with Harper. Looking forward to some #geocaching adventures with her this weekend!

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.

The theme for Week 3 of the 52-week video challenge was "Show your process of making something." Alas, I didn't get the time to do what I wanted to do, so I attacked something I filmed over the summer that I kept putting off.
