January 24th - Skully Bones

The water was green today, at the Coast Guard Pier in Monterey.

The boat in the far left background of the previous picture but front and center of this one, is the "Skully Bones." It's green. :)

Here's a closeup of the boat, although it's kind of hard to see (at least on my screen) how green it is. You all get three shots today, because I'm just not happy with any one of them to have it be the only one.

January 23rd - Tortoise

My neighbor's Tortoise was out today. :) The rain has stopped for a while and the sun shone today, so I'm sure this guy was pleased! It's kind of difficult to see, but it's eating the grass and has a mouthful here. I forgot to mention, I think he looks to be about 2 to 2 1/2 feet long (.61 - .76 m) to me.

January 22nd - Greenbacks

Greenbacks, today. Although our money isn't all that green anymore. This makes me look a little rich. I wish. :P I was entering the bills into Where's George? when I got the idea to shoot this photo for today.

January 21st - Super Cute!

Super cute scarecrow I found on a walk today. He just looks so darn happy, doesn't he?

January 20th - Almost Out!

Almost out! I spaced on taking a photo today, and spent the evening making jewelry while watching a foreign film (Lemon Tree, it was set in Palestine, good flick!), and so here's today's shot. Earrings. I think they're super cute! :)

January 19th - Moss on a log and Snow White

This is moss on a log in my yard. My hubby brought home some firewood, and this was on one of the logs. I thought it was neat. It's not as green as it is in real life, although I did try to boost the green a tad.

And there's a bonus shot for today:


Here's a "Snow White" Chrysanthemum from my yard. They're itty-bitty, like small daisies. Maybe 1 1/2 inches across. It's hard to see, but there are rain drops there. We had thunder and lightning three times, so far, today! That's rare for us!! :) Sorry it's a bit blurry. I still think it's pretty.

January 18th - 68 degrees

Part of the Galileo thermometer I bought for the hubs for Christmas. The 68 degree bauble is actually green liquid, but for some reason came out quite blue on top. :P

January 17th - Saucer Plant, again, this time in the rain!

Yes, I did a picture of the saucer plant already, but it's raining today and it looked pretty to me, so here's another one.

January 16th - Stick peoplez!!

I makeded stick peoplez! :) Yeah, I was bored...well, actually, crafting with my daughter. Fun times. :)

January 15th - Flash! Aah-ahhh, savior of the universe!

How's this for green? :) I was at a friend's house for dinner tonight, and they have a chameleon. Since I didn't have a camera with me, other than my cell phone's 2 mp camera, they let me use their Nikon and emailed me the pictures I took. How nice! What a lovely camera! However, since I'd not used one of those, the focus isn't exactly right on the nose. Oh, well. This little guys name is Flash, by the way. And I do mean little, he's maybe 3 inches long! :)

January 14th - Psychadelic!

My computer is running really slowly tonight, and I forgot to take a picture until almost 9 pm! It took 2 hours to process and upload this image! So frustrated! Going to bed now. Sorry about the cruddy shot today.

January 13th - Paper clips

Not just a random pile of paper clips, but they denote the amount of weight I'd lost on Weight Watchers. Each silver one is one pound, and there's a colored one every 5 pounds. This only shows about 55 pounds, but I've lost a total of 85 so far! :D Still working on it, though. I have about another 60 to go! I've been stuck on that number for about a year, now. :P

January 12th - Frogs!

This is part of my (and my daughter's) stuffed frog collection. I'm the frog lover, but she keeps them in her room. :) The pink one in the middle was my Valentine's Day present last year from my hubby. The one with the picture frame had a picture in it, but, for whatever reason, my kid took it out. Dunno where it is, now.

January 11th - Still Life

This is an orange and a tangerine from my mother-in-law's yard. I love how it looks as though the orange is the "mom" and the tangerine is the "baby" being protected by the leaf "arms." See it?

January 10th - Purple Muppet Flowers

I love how the flowers look like little Muppet birds, or creatures of some kind. These aren't from my own garden, but a neighbors a couple of streets over. Aren't they pretty? :)

January 9th - Yellow and Blue

Yellow and blue make green! :)

This is some of my kid's sidewalk paint, it's chalky so that's why it looks chunky.

January 8th - Jade Plant

Here's a Jade plant from my yard, in bloom. I'm not overly fond of Jade plants, they grow too big, and spread too much, imo. However, I do love the delicate little flowers they get at this time of year. :)

January 7th - Saucer Plant

Here's a saucer plant from my yard. This started as a cutting (a "breaking off" really) of a friend's plant. I trimmed the end, planted it, and two years later, it's HUGE! :) I love saucer plants. And, it's green in the middle, where it counts, right? ;)

Btw, yesterday's earrings photo was the same style as all the others because I'm keeping the photos consistent for my Etsy shop, when I get around to listing the merch. :P

January 6th - Finished

Here are yesterday's earrings, finished, since there was interest in seeing them. I'll try not to do too much jewelry this month, from now on, so you all don't get bored.

January 5th - In Progress

A pair of earrings in progress. I have a picture of the finished product, but it didn't turn out very well, so no diptych today, like I'd hoped for. :P
