Photo Fun

I love having a camera phone. It comes in so handy when I want to snap photos of things that just happen to tickle my fancy wherever I am. It's not practically to always tote around my camera, but my phone? That's something that is always with me. Granted, it's a simple VGA camera, one in which even Lucia's 2MP phone cam could put it to shame. But it provides surprisingly good-quality pictures, especially close up. And so I am able to share a few random shots I've felt compelled to capture this past few weeks.

First up: I found Treasure Island! This was on a door that presumably led to a conference room in our old office building:



I had no idea Treasure Island was so close by and that we needn't fly off to faraway fairy tale lands to find it! I especially liked the Hollywood-esque star at the bottom of the sign.

Now, the local Rite-Aid is shutting down, and so has been having closeout sales for sometime. The other day, we sauntered in, seeing if we could find any good deals. Though we didn't end up buying anything, I was richly rewarded with a good giggle when I spied this little rack sign/item mismatch:



I've always thought Slim Jims and beef jerky were bad for your teeth, but man! Wait till you try gnawing on a plastic toothbrush! And those bristles? Impossible to chew, I tell ya!

Finally, a non-funny. This was my breakfast yesterday. Our company provides us with free fruit in the kitchen. Every Monday a bountiful harvest is stocked: grapes, strawberries, bananas, oranges, and apples. Yesterday I took the time to wash and cut up some fruit and made a nice plateful. It looked so rich and healthful and colorful that I couldn't resist taking a pic of my plate of strawberries, apple slices and grapes. With orange juice and a cup of hot steaming green tea on the side:



Mmmm.... breakfast of champions! :-D
