I got one response to the photomeme from laughingmagpie, so I took a few pictures of my DVD shelf.



The bottom shelf is exclusively my movies, but the other two are mostly a mix of movies shared amongst the family. For the most part, you can tell which ones are mine because they are meticulously organized according to a system that makes no real sense to anybody but me (partly chronological, partly by genre, partly by which colour cases look pretty next to one another, haha).

A closer view of my classic movies. Oh, how I wish my collection was about ten times bigger!



The middle shelf. Hmm... let's guess which movies are mine? And, wah, Prisoner of Azkaban is still missing from my Harry Potter line-up. I guess I'll have to buy a new copy; I saw one at Wal-Mart yesterday for $9.44.



Finally, the DVDs on top of the TV -- a location reserved for recent purchases and current viewing material. I bought Annie for my sister's birthday yesterday (residual childhood obession), and the rest is a testament to my obsession with goofy detective shows.

As long as I had the camera out, I walked around outside for a bit and took some more pictures. I've shared the wild and crazy side of my yard before, so to be fair I've balanced it out with the more picturesque portions.





On my way down to the lake I caught a few ibises (I had to look up the proper plural for that, and it still sounds weird) taking a stroll along the beach. There were a bunch of kids hanging out right across the point, though, so I didn't end up taking any more pictures by the water.



The most uneven driveway in the history of the world; at least it is pretty!





Most of the camellias are dried out and dead, but I found one fresh bloom hiding right at the top.

That tree with the all the grey stuff hanging off it is beautiful...what sort is it?

I'm pretty sure it's an oak, covered in a lot of Spanish moss.

Your pictures are very pretty. I really like the one of your driveway! =)

Thank you :)

Nice!

A lot of overlap between our shelves! For my wedding anniversary, we're going to get a nice real wood set of shelves for the DVDs - they are getting out of hand. I like how you consider colour and look of the cases one of the criteria for your shelving system! :-)

Ooh, sounds like fun! I think it's probably time for me to invest in some new shelving as well. When I'm at home it isn't so bad (although I am continually encroaching on everybody else's space), but when I'm at school I've just got heaps of books and movies shoved into a plastic box under my bed. Not exactly the most organized thing ever, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Your DVD collection is beautiful.

Also, is that lake within walking distance then? D:

[snowystingray.livejournal.com]

Within walking distance for me? Yes, because my house backs up to it (that's the back gate of my yard in the picture). For the kids across the lake... Well, there is a fairly new community over there, but most of the houses are further down and I don't think anybody lives directly across from us. But, yeah, it's still within the community walls, so I can't imagine that it's that hard to get to; it probably just involves weaving through a lot of brush.
