Delicate Arch
Just a photo of Delicate Arch today. Amanda and I headed to Arches National Park this morning specifically to hike here again. We must have got lucky with our timing, because when we arrived at the arch, we had it to ourselves for a little while. On our way back to the Jeep, we passed a bunch of people headed up the trail.

Tuffy Tape
Today we have a photo of the packing tape that was used on a package I received today. I thought it looked cool with the colorful heavy warning sticker in the background.

Dusty Jeep
Well, my 30th birthday way exactly one month ago today (yes it was a short month), which means that I have managed to keep up with this photo project for a full month so far! Only eleven more months to go. Here’s a photo of the steering wheel of my old 1992 Jeep Cherokee that has been sitting behind the garage for a while. There was a lot of dirt and dust on the interior, so I needed to wipe off the part over the Jeep logo for it to show up at all.

Broken Paint
The previous owner of our house had painted the windows on the garage black and boarded them up from the inside. This is a design that is in the black paint on one of the windows that caught my eye.

Painting
Amanda is in the process of painting our bedroom this evening, so I thought I would venture in there and take a photo. Here we have a brush with the new color on our wall. She is actually using a roller to paint, but I asked her to use a brush for the photo.

Ghost Hands
I decided to have a little more fun with my camera this evening. I had a few ideas that didn’t really pan out, so as I was looking around for something to photograph, I saw my netbook sitting on the table. I thought the keyboard might make a good subject, but I wanted to make it a little more interesting.

Butterfly
Today’s photo was taken of a butterfly at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens that was just hanging out and didn’t move the whole time we were there.

The bonus photo today was taken by Amanda while we were at the Botanical Gardens.

We were originally planning on heading to Arches National Park today so we could hike to Delicate Arch. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with us, so we ended up staying home. After having some breakfast, Amanda remembered that it was the first Sunday of the month, and that the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens offers free admission today. It was a great opportunity to play with my new lens. Here’s some of the photos I took on our trip there.

Fan Blades Expanded
This afternoon after hiking at the Colorado National Monument, I installed a new ceiling fan in our bedroom. After getting it started, Amanda painted the ceiling in the room, so I needed to wait until it was dry to complete the task. I had leaned the fan blades against Amanda’s black photo bag and noticed that it might make an interesting photo. After taking a few, I thought I might get a little more creative to see what i could do. On the photo above, I ended up zooming in during the shot, and I think it turned out pretty cool.

Lone Ford
After getting rid of my F-350 back in January for the new Jeep, Amanda’s old car is the only Ford that we still own (for now). It will be going on sale soon, so I figured I might as well take some photos of it before it’s gone.
