Let's try this again:  A hint about the phonograph record is that I had it in my pocket and said well I'll try this Always prepared ex-electrician  image.

Then someone already correctly guessed the In all finer restaurants pepper mill but come on folks! Surely this familiar item couldn't make you stumble.  Just look around! just stands there looking around .  You'll give up an "Aw, shucks" when it's identified I'm sure.

I think I might have got the combination right for posting finally.

I got to fishing around in my pocket and, of all things, came up with this:

Then I got to playing around with my portable studio and wondered how this would look:

And just to finish off a trio I figured this one would probably be too easy but including it anyway:

the rest of the family.  We had a nice supper at a local establishment and both the grand boys were sterling models of

When the hour grew late my buddy left and there I was with my Canon S3-IS and a full charge on the batteries.
   I played around with the porch furnigure Bird cage and tea-table Chair and shutter and up and down the street.   Then I started messing around with the white color

house is: Blue House and Spring Onions "Across the street from the blue house" is my final direction when guiding strangers in from the highway.
   Ever the gageteer, I dig down none too deeply in my bulging pants pocket and retrieve a small (3- AAA cells) higher-power

LED flashlight. Playing with light 01
   My mind goes into a zone as I set the shutter speed on 15 seconds Playing with light 02 and let the aperature fall where it may...

   As a footnote, I'll say this is my first experience also with editing HTML and it ain't the breeze I've long suspected it ain't!  Editing and getting everything in place took between one and two hours. Perhaps it will come easier with experience.  It is, however, something I've enjoyed more than I thought I would in spite of the effort.
