Today is another look at my town, a colorful look. I’m going to try to make this a regular Tuesday feature. We shall see how that goes.
So, last night I’m washing my hair. I’ve got the radio on loudly so that I can hear over the water, (classic rock station-if you’re wondering) and I am hanging over the side of the tub soakin’ the hair. My sinuses are running full force towards gravity (I’m upside down at this point) and I hear a little rappin’ at the door. “What is it?” *muffled words in response to my inquiry. I don’t know who this is, but I suspect my nine year old. “Honey, I have the radio on, the water running, and I’m under the faucet. If you’ve got something to say, either come in or wait until I’m finished.” I begin to wonder when my children will ever develop some common sense. O_o Later in the evening I was browsing the blogs and came upon this story on Michael’s photo blog. http://www.mlpinxit.com/index.php?showimage=66 I hold out no hope for the immediate future. No hope for the semi-long term future either. All the more reason to not drop the ball on this parenting thing. I have to release these children out into society some day.

nice to see more of your town, and to hear more about your kids and mom-hood, micki. coming to your blog is always such a pleasant experience.
oo i want a "free home" =D
looks like a lovely place to live. Nice work.
Shot no.2 is lovely!Love the colours and the angle.
Lovely. Looks like a very classic country style town.
It looks like you live in a very charming place. The first picture reminds me of my husband. He love reading realestate mags from every place we go. I just recently had a talk with a bunch of moms and we were discussing common sense. Is it taught or are born with it?
my favorite is the bench and flowers...i like the composition and framing:-) also the colors is cheerful...nice capture
Good photos, specially third, the lamppost, I like the resistance of colors.
Always cool to get a glimpse of someone's town...gives you a better feel of the person and their environment that inspires them.
Nice colorful photos...the 2nd one...with the bench is stunning actually. Great work!

Very vivid colors, lovely series.
You take pictures of things that I would never think of. I love your ideas and photo's.
great photos - paint a very quiant picture of your town - they are very strong photographically too -
great colours and composition etc,
I really like em
Your ‘no-nonsense’ images are so refreshing after all the manufactured stuff I see - and publish. A welcome breath of country air.
Ahhh, Mickiville. I feel I know you!
Nice shots!
Cool shots Micki. I like the first one. Something about that red paper deal. It's cool.
very nice and colourful serie!! i specially like the one in the middle!! lovely composition!!! :D
Your town truly is colourful. Nice shots Micki
How interesting. Every town seems to have those real estate magazine dispensers. It makes one wonder how many people actually pick the FREE real estate magazines while making a life-changing decision to purchase a home.
A lovely trio of shots - Hometown Tuesday is a great idea for creative fuel!
