After mowing the lawn, I got out my camera and macro lens, I wanted to find something in the lawn for a Macro Monday post. What did I see? This stray blade of grass that somehow escaped the mower blade. And yes, I pulled it out after I took the photo!

After Veronica and I did all that we could as far as finding a place to live, we decided to head down to DC for some sight-seeing and a baseball game. (A housing update post will have to wait, we don’t want to jinx ourselves by writing about it just yet.)
How about sight-seeing *from* the ball game? Look in the lower left corner, we could see the Washington Monument from our seats in Nationals Park.

Walking back to Union Station to catch a MARC train back up to Baltimore, we passed the Capital Building. I had to wait for traffic to clear so I could stand in the middle of the street to get this photo. If you click to view the full-sized image, there’s a little motion blur, that’s what happens when you shoot handheld and use a 1/4 sec exposure time. Oh well…

Dammit, I HATE when I forget to check my camera settings! I looked at the shooting data to add the caption and realized I TOTALLY forgot that I add changed the f-stop to 8.0 earlier in the day. I could have opened the aperture much wider, used a faster shutter speed and gotten a nice sharp image after all.
In bullet point format
Happy Monday!
I bet some of my BDSM-inclined friends thought of something besides my hammock when they saw the title of this post

Happy Mother’s Day to Veronica, my favorite MILF
Sinful Sunday, where it’s all about the image
(Even if they’re older images from the archives….)
Countless hours sitting here
Reading
Writing
Rocking kids to sleep
Watching TV
After 12 years, the time as come to say farewell to this chair, my first Father’s Day present
It spend 2 days sitting at the curb, but no one took it. Then I learned that a young single friend was looking for furniture for her place and wouldn’t you know it, this chair matches the couch she already has. Now it has a new home, at least until the fabric wears all the way through!!
I think this is the first photo published that I shot with my new-to-me Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF lens, aka the nifty-fifty. I like this lens, a lot

As if Veronica and I don’t want to see Italy bad enough, I came across this awesome morning-to-night timelapse video of Venice!
(If you’re wondering why a lot of it looks almost fake or model-like, I bet the photographer used a tilt-shift lens for many of the images)
1. How often do you masturbate?
It depends, when our schedules are in sync and we’re fucking almost daily, hardly at all. Other times, daily, or even several times per day. I haven’t seen Veronica awake since Monday morning and likely won’t see her until Wednesday evening (crazy work schedules this week are to blame!), you can be reasonably sure that I’ll be doing the five knuckle shuffle once the kids are asleep tonight
2. What are you doing to celebrate Masturbation month?
Nothing, just heard about it today.
3. Do you like to watch your partner masturbate?
a. Yes, it turns me on.
b. Sometimes, because it gets my partner very aroused.
c. Not really, it’s boring.
d. No, it’s a turn off.
e. I’ve never experienced it but I’d like to.
A) Absolutely, it’s fun to watch! Besides, especially with a newer partner, you can learn a bit about what they like by watching them. See? The practical perspective!
4. Do you let your partner watch you masturbate?
a. Yes, it turns me on to be watched.
b. Sometimes, because it gets my partner very aroused.
c. No, it’s embarrassing.
d. I’ve never experienced it but I’d like to.
A) I’m happy to put on a show. I might even record it on video if distance is an issue….
5. Mutual masturbation? Yea or Nay?
Sure, why not?!
6. If you had an all-expense-paid trip to San Francisco to attend Masturbate-a-thon 2012 would you go and masturbate? Why or Why not?
Dammit, talk about bad timing, I fly to San Fransisco just 2 days after this event!
Speaking of which, any bay-area friends want to say hi while I’m in town? I’ll be there for 5 days

Bonus: Are you addicted to masturbating?
You say addicted as if it’s a bad thing!

You know when it’s real easy to get a close-up photo of one of these little buggers?
When they land in the paint tray you left outside to dry and can’t fly away!
