Day 96 - Teapot Mothers Day

Day 96 - Teapot Mothers Day

Today's photo is of an English teapot, today I think about Mum.  We skype but it's not the same.  UK and USA do not have the same date for Mothers Day.  Dearest Hallmark, how can we fix that?  #photoaday #Project365 #MothersDay #bigBen #teapot #hallmark

Day 81- Drive-in

What does Paul the Outdoor movie guy do when he is not running a FunFlicks outdoor movie event? He watches an outdoor movie. WestWind is one of the few drive-in remaining, last year I took my son to one. This year the whole family went. Amazing experience. #Drive-in #outdoormovie #photoaday #Project365 #westwind @WestWindDriveIn

I have walked past this many times. I'm sure there must be an interesting story as to why this pole has a knitted jacket, is it Knitting graffiti (thank you Wikipedia) or something else? #knitting #photoaday #pole #Project365 #SanLeandro #YarnBombing

Day 69 - Driving Selfie

Full disclosure, set camera on tripod that was jammed behind front seats, set f-stop, focus and used Magic Lanterns Intervalometer (timer) to take photos every 15 seconds. Do not text and drive, selfie whilst driving, check email etc. It's not only your life you could ruin... rant over.
