Rich Tatum > Brick o' Jumbo Shrimp 
My son, A.J. was strolling (jumping, hopping, skipping, weaving -- he's very active) out of the church door a few Sundays ago when he got interested in the patterns on some nearby bricks. He asked me to take some pictures because, he was sure, these were shrimp that had been fossilized in brick.

I wasn't sure about that, I told him, guessing that many brick molds have bits of cloth or stone built into the mold patter to give the bricks random texture. It makes for more &quot;interesting&quot; walls. (Hence, his own fascination!)

This looks like it might be some shrimp-like curl of leather or something, but it does look amazingly like a shrimp. Who am I to say?

If anyone can identify this, feel free!

Rich Tatum > Ahhhhh! Swing! 
My kids love to swing. Or they love me pushing them. I think swings are just a vehicle to get their daddy to push them around.

Rich Tatum > Motion --> Big grins. Repeat as needed 
I, too, used to love to swing.

But, then, I also used to enjoy that woozy feeling you get when you step off the really fast spinny thing that makes you dizzy.

They have medication for that nowadays. I avoid that, too.

Rich Tatum > Something to which you do not want to get to the end of. 
This brand new nylon rope is surprisingly reflective! (And hard to climb, I should add.)

Rich Tatum > Under my Hand 
This is the pebbled grip on top of the stick that shifts my car into &quot;Drive.&quot;

I tell you, I really like to find stuff within arm's reach to photograph. Within arm's reach. Really.

Rich Tatum > The view from the top of my head. 
Okay, so if you're supposed to wear hats to keep the sun off of your head, why is there so much light coming through the darn thing?

Rich Tatum > Succulents? In Michigan? 
My mother-in-law lives in the non-arid climes of Western Michigan. And she loves cacti and succulents.

Go figure.

Rich Tatum > I Love Hue 
Somethink about the pristine and sharp-edged newness of wrapped crayons just invites me to pick one up to draw a nice, brightly colored line. I think they appeal to my kids, too. These crayons always find their way home to reside in the cracks of our furniture, or to melt in the heat of an enclosed car.

But, still, you gotta love crayons.
