WEEKEND POTPOURRI: SATURDAY SNAPSHOT — JULY 14

Welcome to another exciting weekend with Saturday Snapshot, hosted by Alyce, At Home With Books.

Today’s event will be a potpourri of snapshots with no particular theme.

In my first shot, I am featuring my photographer son Craig Robinson, who is very seldom in front of the camera, but here he is, studying that beer can as if it contains the secrets of the universe.

 

Here are some of his quirky shots, starting with the one he has dubbed Viking Woopass.

Next comes a shot of tiki memorabilia collected during a journey up the State of California in 2007.  A zealous quest for tiki stuff for a friend’s Tiki Bar in Prague.

Not to leave out the usual subjects of my photo events, here’s Heather, pondering something quirky at the bar where she works.

And Fiona wants to show off her new hair color.

 

Finally….here is my newly configured office work space where I now showcase my new laptop.  The laptop needs a name, by the way.  Any suggestions?

Come on by with your comments and links…and I’ll return the favor.

  1. I love the photos…they are different and unique…your desk looks perfect now…until you change it around again the next time you get an idea…I am not good with names so you are on your own there!

  2. I can see the humorous quirk to that one’s personality! Great angles and details in those shots! As for the computer, we call ours, The Oracle. Have a great weekend!

  3. Great pictures. I haven’t see a totem pole in a long while, and as far as a name for your laptop, I’ll just say my Kindle still doesn’t have a name after several years:) I did name the iRobot Vac Roxy though:)

    • I’m not sure why I need to name everything, but even my cars usually have names! Now that I think about it, though, my current car doesn’t have one…hmm.

      Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy that gorgeous granddaughter.

  4. What a great array of photos. People ponder strange things in your pics.

  5. Great collection of photos this week — thanks for sharing!

  6. I can see why he’s studying that beer can – it’s very interesting.

  7. What a fabulous work space you have – is it an entire room, or just a corner? We are trying to turn our elder daughter’s room in to a study/music room (for him)/sewing room (for me) but so far I seem to have lots of things in various piles on the floor!

    • The actual work space is that corner, but in the rest of the room, I have a sofa bed, chair, and bookshelves. So the total effect is “office/study.” Thanks for stopping by, Christine.

  8. I’m thinking you’re son is trying to see if there are any drops left in that can…. lol. I never thought about naming my laptop….so I don’t really have a suggestion. The Oracle mentioned by Susan sounds like a winner, though.

    Here’s my Snapshot.

    • You’re right, Bev! I’m sure he wants to get every last drop…lol

      I like The Oracle, too, but don’t want to “appropriate” it; perhaps something along those lines, though. Thanks for stopping by.

  9. fun photos! Men do have a tendency to get really in tune with their beer cans :) Book Savvy Babe

  10. Are there are any names that would match the names of your other electronics? I always enjoy theme-named stuff… And I’m always tempted to name computers Hal, but I feel like it would be asking for trouble!

    • My Kindle is named Sparky…you know, from “kindling.” lol
      So something along those lines, although nothing comes to mind! Thanks for stopping by, Cheryl…and I like themes, too.

  11. It’s nice to see a photo of the photographer! They always get left out of the photos. The new workspace is looking good.

    • Thanks, Leslie…I agree about the photographer not often being in pix. When he was a kid, my eldest was always the one snapping the shots. Later he got a tripod so he could be in some of them.

      I’m feeling comfortable in the workspace, and even though Laptop can migrate to other locations, this one seems to be the favorite for now.

  12. Staci@LifeintheThumb

    I want that tiki!! Very very cool and sometimes answers are found in the beer can!! LOL!! Great photos!! Hmmm….as for the name of your computer….my Kindle is Mr. Darcy so of course I would have to suggest an Austen theme!! :D

    • Ah, great idea, Staci. Although my Kindle is Sparky, I was thinking that a literary name for the laptop would be appropriate. I was thinking of Daphne (for DuMaurier). But the Austen theme also occurred to me, along with Louisa May (Alcott).

  13. Love your pot pourri,

  14. Liked all the photos! Interesting shots, all…..

    Here is my Saturday Snapshot post!

  15. A nice variety, and I really like the quirky shots – that is one big beer can.

  16. Aww penguins, I love penguins, like how you record little things in photos :)

  17. What a fun collection of pics!

    I’m no help naming the laptop. Mine tends to have a lot of four-letter words in its name!

    My Scottish Saturday Snapshots

    • Ha-ha…love the four-letter words idea for naming. I am sure I’ve been peppering those upon my laptop, as I adjust to it.

      Thanks for stopping by, Lisa, and enjoy your week.

  18. LOL, what a great collection. Those vikings looks like they’ve been seeking the secrets of the universe at the bottom of a mead mug for way too long.

  19. Fun mix of photos. Many people have looked for meaning in the bottom of a beer can…

  20. Great selection of pictures!

  21. I had to look at that can awhile, wondering what was so interesting to examine it so intensely!! Lol. Great pix.

    I’m horrible naming things… I’m still brainstorming for my book light, which will be my first attempt. I named my rabbit, I guess… “Bumpity”. Almost TOO cute!

    • So did I, actually. I wondered what was so fascinating, but probably he is pondering if any drops are left…lol

      I think I finally settled on a literary name for the laptop: Louisa May (Alcott).

      Thanks for visiting, Laura.
