Limb Buddies. Love this shot of these "limb buddies". This was early in the morning. I am really happy with the depth of field that the iPhone can capture.

Absolute Contrast 194

Old Timer in the Shade. Walking home the other day, I passed a slightly modified Chevy truck. Very nice, I like things like this—antique and full of character.

Absolute Contrast 193

The Ants Go Marching... It's a pretty abrupt wake up call to the ants when the lawn people come around. I think ants are fascinating little creatures.

Absolute Contrast 192

Still Walking Up. Now that spring is here, the trees are blooming and walking up. The other day, I passed this one tree and the buds were still closed. Little sleepy heads...

Absolute Contrast 191

No, Seriously. I am glad that someone took the time to wrap this caution tape around a whole they dug in the ground while working on the sprinklers. Seriously, I could have fallen in.

Don't Look Down. If you look closely at the middle of this picture, you can see a window washer suspended in mid-air by ropes while he cleans the windows. No thank you—if I wanted to scare myself with heights it wouldn't be while working.

Absolute Contrast 189

In Full Bloom. Nothing says spring like a tree in full bloom. It also has a way of making a lot of people sneeze—if you suffer from allergies. I hate allergies.

Absolute Contrast 188

Broken Robot. Another picture of an almost finished drawing. This has since been done and will hopefully be colored soon. Fun times.

Absolute Contrast 187

Looking Down. While sitting in the passenger seat the other day, I noticed my wife's open purse. I thought it might look cool in black and white, and what do you know, it does.

Absolute Contrast 186

Life In Motion. (series) I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought it was time. It's amazing how straight the lines look traveling at 60 mph.

Absolute Contrast 185

Menacing. I love it when it rains, especially if I am inside and can just listen to it. Nothing beats the smell of rain.

Absolute Contrast 184

The Sippy Cup. Funny, we still use the occasional sippy cup for my 3 year old. She doesn't need it, but it's a lot more convenient than mopping up spilled milk from the floor.

Absolute Contrast 183

C Is For Seed Pod. I came across this seed pod the other day in the desert of a parking lot I cross to and from work.

Absolute Contrast 182

The Lines of Separation. Honestly, I don't remember taking this picture, but find it inspiring nonetheless.

Absolute Contrast 181

Small Signs of Life. Cool morning walks to work, warm sun on my face on the ride home—yep, spring is finally here. These are very small flowers along the walkway where I have preserved so many moments in life with my phone.

Absolute Contrast 180

Which Way Will You Go? Traveling along the bumpy road we call life, there are always choices to be made. Which way to go? Will I choose right? What if I make a mistake? Thank goodness we have the tools and knowledge to find out which way to go.

Absolute Contrast 179

Storm Away! If we have a spring this year like we did last year, this guy (and all his friends) are going to be really busy.

Absolute Contrast 178

I Love To Ride My Bicycle. I borrowed one of Queens song titles for the caption/title for this shot. It's amazing how much of a difference black and white can make to a picture.

Absolute Contrast 177

Intrigue in Detail Part 2. Again, check out the detail. This was taken the same day, it's jut a different plant. They are only about 4" tall.

Absolute Contrast 176

Intrigue in Detail. This picture (and the next one) are some of my favorites. I think what's most intriguing to me is the detail mother nature puts into her creations. Simply amazing.

Absolute Contrast 175

Exposed. I've walked by this several times and finally decided to take a picture and share it. This is a tree root that has come up for air.

Absolute Contrast 174

First of the Spring Season. I came across these the other day while walking to the van. The first dandelions I have seen in 2010. The next thing I knew, I looked up and they were everywhere.

Absolute Contrast 173

Eat Your Heart Out, Brett Leonard (director of The Lawnmower Man). The lawn care professionals are out in force now that the weather has had a turn for the better (fingers crossed).

Absolute Contrast 172

The Monster Lives. The peaceful, morning calm was shattered by the clamoring noise of this beastly monster coming to life.

Absolute Contrast 171

The Long Road Home. I took this the other morning on my way to work. This is the business end of a cement mixer getting ready to do its job.

Absolute Contrast 170

How's My Driving? If they really wanted to know, you think they'd replace the sticker when it was no longer readable. I don't think they really care.

Absolute Contrast 169

Got Cheese? If there's one food that I really like, it has to be cheese. My favorite so far has to be smoked gouda.

Absolute Contrast 168

Got Shampoo? This entire isle at the Smiths near my house is dedicated entirely to shampoo (and conditioner). All different kinds, all different sizes.

Absolute Contrast 167

Steering Wheel Bliss. Another shot of the evening sun glancing off of the steering wheel of my car while I was waiting at a light.

Absolute Contrast 166

Makes You Wonder Where the Exit Is. Too bad all the important signs in life aren't as big and bold as the entrance sign to the hospital. That would make life a lot easier.

Absolute Contrast 165

Toot Your Own Horn. As I was sitting at a light the other day, the light was hitting the steering wheel just right, and viola!

Absolute Contrast 164

My Trusty Steed. Many of you know that I like to draw, just a little bit. I always try and have some form of paper and pencil within arms reach at all times. This is a shot of my clipboard with it's mammoth stack of paper—most of which is full of doodles that are half finished, just waiting.

Absolute Contrast 163

That's Some Serious Damage. I don't know what it is about the ceiling tiles in office buildings, but once they get wet, they look like they are about to spawn a new breed of Alien that is ready to snatch us up, one at a time. Remember, in the office, no one can hear you scream.

Absolute Contrast 162

How Are You Feeling Today? I drew this the other day, and plan on showing off a final colored version at www.jeremyenglish.blogspot.com soon. I wasn't feeling too particularly happy when I drew it. But, after drawing it, I felt better. Kind of like casting out the bad feelings onto paper.

Absolute Contrast 161

I Told You Not To Turn. Again, it all comes down to simple communication. On my way to work the other day, I noticed this on the bank of the canal. I then looked around to see if I could spot a car in the water. No car. Phew.

Absolute Contrast 160

The Joys of a White Crayon. Here's a shot of the Easter egg I did on Sunday. While my kids were content to simply dunk their eggs into the dye and watch them turn different colors, I painstakingly did my best at using a white crayon on a white egg and then dyed it four colors.

Absolute Contrast 159

What Does April Snow Bring? Seriously, we were all set for spring to arrive a week or two ago. The daffodils had bloomed, the kids were suffering from spring-fever, and I was seriously considering wearing shorts and flip-flops. And now this crap.

Absolute Contrast 158

That's One Mean Looking Cloud. These are some of the clouds responsible for the snow and cold that we've had the past few days. Grrr...

Absolute Contrast 157

In Threes. I like taking pictures that show texture, especially when they are close up and it feels like you can almost touch them. This is definitely one where you can see—and almost feel—three separate textures.

Absolute Contrast 156

Little Black Tags. Okay, you've heard the term "little black dress" and "little black book"—I'd like you to meet ""little black tag". Now I feel special.

Absolute Contrast 155

Seriously? Snow in April? This was what I woke up to the other day after being spoiled with spring-like weather for the past little while. Seriously? Welcome to Utah.

Absolute Contrast 154

Fallen Angel. This is one of those spiky seeds I mentioned in an earlier post (AC145). I picked it up and carried it to the van. After I got this shot, it rolled off my leg and onto the floor. I am sure it's still there, somewhere.

Absolute Contrast 153

Just Hangin' Out. I imagine that these little buds on the tree are just as disappointed with the latest snow storm as most of us here. Come on spring!

Absolute Contrast 152

Depends on How You Look at It. I passed this walking to the van the other day and automatically it looked like one of those old fashioned pop bottle openers. Then I did a double take and realized this was the bottom to the martini glass in AC099.

Absolute Contrast 151

Peace, Man. Straight out of the 60s. This was part of the really cool trailer in AC150. Love the character, especially the chains.
