there was something about the way the sunlight light was hitting it caught my eye

Here is a picture I took of the Nolan Sisters skinny dipping from the back of my yacht. In the background is the lighthouse at Alexandria.

Below is the picture I missed of Zero's birthday party. Note the truculent stance and the obdurate facial expression, connoting sulky disapproval just before it dissolves into angry tears.

I failed to take this photo after letting Katie out and then, wondering why she hadn't appeared at the door yet, peeked out the window through the blinds and saw her sitting quietly at the topmost part of the property, on a little hill that the Maus used to sled and wagon-ride and roll on relentlessly, staring out at the water, shoulders square, ears up. Just watching her domain, taking in the clouds and the grass and the birds and the climbing sun, doyenne of the household, contemplating.

This is just a blurry snapshot that I couldn't take of Christopher's face the moment he realized that not only had his computer hard drive crashed, but that he'd lost our entire beautifully-shot, edited and produced short film project with it.

Yesterday because I was driving and I didn't want to endanger myself, my passenger or other drivers, I did not take this picture with my cameraphone of the back of the Toyota Highlander:

It had a cutesey stick-figure daddy and a cutesey stick-figure mommy.

Where the cutesey baby and kitty should have been were two outlines in dried glue shaped like a cutesey baby and a cutesey kitty.

Not sure if there were unused baby shoes for sale from the same people.

Here is a furtive night time snap not taken through the dining room window of a once-handsome man who lives alone, staring intently at the computer screen trying to find just the right words to indirectly woo his ex-wife back on his blog. A cat sits contentedly in his lap, a hot toddy is at his elbow, and he wishes that after all these years, he could just get this pain over with.

This micrograph I didn't take of the bread dough I just made doesn't show the yeast eating starches and sugars and burping out carbon dioxide thereby inflating the little bubbles of gluten formed by the kneading my Kitchen Aid 6 qt mixer did. It also does not expose the fragility of life implicit in the fact that these wee sleekit cowrin tim'rous yeasties will be Burns'd at 350˚F and will indeed die in the name of deliciousness.
