The Mundane World Around Us

[MARS]

In which I, and hopefully you too, take pictures of things we see in our day-to-day life and show the world.

This was the street a few days ago. Today it looks like this again.

Waitin' for the slug. Hello, slug!

[Vendetta]

I like this idea!

But it's pitch black outside right now.
Here's a doge

That's actually really cool dude. Nice work. Our worlds are very different.

I was actually thinking there would be a slug in the picture. I am disappoint.

This is my road, viewed from the end of my driveway.

My house is at the very end of the trail, its barely seen in the center of this picture.

Some pictures from my trip to the countryside earlier this week.

Not particularly pretty since it's not green/spring-y here yet. I'll be sure to get some once it does look nicer.

Two or so blocks of old buildings; inside, they're real long and narrow, often with brick walls. Kinda cool. Also for the record that FOX sign is only on an empty half-building rather than an open functioning theater, just to make it look pretty.

Long straight highway going through fields and trees.

We have the same model of mouse, I tink. What an unimportant factoid!

[Aarah]

Noodley soup. Looks nice!
Am i the only one that is drawn to look at all the stuff around the main focus of pics, more than the thing itself?
(I suppose not, seeing as Phil commented on the make of mouse)

Please don't look at the bread crumbs.

Not that great quality but while in the indoor practice facility on campus for Band Camp, a dragonfly landed on one of my fellow trombone players' sleeves and stayed there for several complete run-throughs of our opening show (including peak step which is basically high-step-jogging) and the drive back to our main building. We thought it might have been dead but right before we left it flew right off to mind its own business.

We named her Cecilia.

EDIT: Two more things that are more photo-y.

First is a few little shots I took, mostly of the sun making my campus look really pretty. I love little views like this.

Classroom in the Music Building, all to myself and my trombone

Community room in the building I used to live in, also all to myself

Fall colors and buildings

Also, here's a few pictures from the field level of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome during a Bowl Game. Being in the UL Lafayette marching band has its perks, including views of thousands of people watching you play your heart out.

Some great photos here! Liking Unionhack's sunny pics and bandcamp ones.

Here's a squirrel that was in my garden:

Huge-ish pictures.

Here's some random pics

This is in my backyard and here's the project car I ramble about from time to time (future daily driver). It looks like it's in 1 piece but the interior is half gutted.

Here's (half of) my office/storage (for lack of a better term) with all kinds of stuff.

And here's me randomly biting my lower lip (I do this habitually for whatever reason). I'm in phase 1 of growing the beard out. I need to clean it up a bit before the neck beard starts coming in.

leroy, is that a seat from the car in that second pic?

Figured I'd show my desk, which is where I spend probably 95% of my waking time when I'm home.

Shot of my full desk setup, conveniently right next to my bed for quick nap access. You can also see the Kinect for my Xbox One and Storm of Swords, which is what I am currently reading for pleasure, when I have time. And of course, my Diet Coke, which I can't live without.

Hidden:

Closer, if more blurry, shot of my desk showing the slide out keyboard tray. I just got this new desk about a month ago, and the keyboard tray is new feature I haven't had and I absolutely love. You can also see some of my game collection (my books are hiding the rest) and of course my mousepad is the American Flag.

Hidden:

Most of my books for this semester. I'm still waiting on 2 of them to be delivered, but this will give you a decent idea of my course load this semester.

Yeah it's the rear bench seat, it's two pieces.

[Dohva.]

I've enjoyed all of your pictures! Its nice seeing what the rest of the world looks like through people's photos. (Scrib, I like your mousepad!)

Figured I'd share some Alaskan pictures of my own. These were all taken close to my house (the first is from my deck) on our hikes. Sorry but the quality of my phone camera stinks, warning.

Animals (the second pic is of my cat on top of a bird's nest):

Here's a few from a hike up a ridge I live near back in May.

About 2 weeks after I did this hike me and some friends decided to do the same hike. When we reached the top, one of my friends tried climbing down a 60 foot cliff, and fell off, breaking both of his ankles, his tailbone, left wrist, and part of his spine. Even though I didn't take these two pictures I still thought it was fitting for the thread.

Here's a picture of him after falling off the cliff. (Some mild gore so be warned)

And then the cliff he fell off:
