Feel The Power

More fun with light painting :)

for Skyler

 

He "made" this tonight...and asked if I could post it...

He said it's a "robot droid". I thought he was cute. =)

Is this game over yet?

It seemed like such a good idea to do the PAD again, but at this point, I'm really running out of steam. Tonight, you get a watered down version of a quick read I had today on Strobist. The concept is to zoom the lens, while the shutter is still open. Maybe with a little genuine effort I could have done something to be proud of here, but instead, I've decided to have some nachos & Diet Coke, and call it a night.

Anybody else tired?

A New View...

My Ava loves to swing! And this is the view that I get being short :)

Words to Live By

Think positive. : )

I know, I'm goofy.

As Requested.

My niece and newphew had thier birthday party at Rascal's Fun Zone, in Whiteland yesterday. They both had a great time, along with a few of thier friends. Hundreds of pictures later, this was one of the few 'real' smiles that I got. As requested, all techincal concerns were put aside to capture that rare moment when he forgets that there is a camera around.

well, i made it...

 

...home and into my comfy socks... =)

Everything is New

This is Josie, our friends' daughter, to which everything brightens her eyes and is new. These days, I feel the same. With a different outlook on life that is much more positive, I see much more as new and I have to tell ya, it's no wonder little ones are so happy.

Muhahahahaha

While some may get excited about the first time candy corn gets put on store shelves, I get a different giddyness about the fall. Halloween. It is approaching this year, and I am getting prepared. With the candy corn, other delights grace store shelves, and I just can't help myself. This little fellow served me well last year, and will be called to duty again in the comming months. Until then, I'll be planning how to scare the crap out of the kids in the neighborhood this year :)

Yet another sky pic

But at least I thought this one looked cool

Lazy Afternoon

Piggies

Mine are smaller!

Fair

Went to the Oregon State Fair today. It was interesting compared to our Texas one. :)

Are You Kidding Me?

Who thought THAT was a good idea...

Ava's entertainment

We went to Lucas Oil Stadium to watch some football and my daughter entertained herself the entire night by doing this!

IT'S NOT YOUR FATHERS TAURUS!

Went to the gun show today...was not able to purchase a gun this time but a frriend of mine picked this one up for work.

The Dreaded Penalty Shot.

Thanks, to G for the significant help on this one.

Not quite a 'self-portrait,' but a portait of myself... I think it's well within the spirit of the rules.

I'm Tired of Taking Pictures

Little Ethan was the youngest in a family photo shoot today. He was done. lol

Make-up Shot.

Decided I needed LaRosa's today for lunch, so I hopped on the bike and headed for Cincy. I was lucky enough to find one well before I got that far. And there I go again, Gumping my way through life.

playing with fire

 

**and yes, Mr. Plummer...I do Fondue**

penalty

 

Now I can say...

 

...I know what happens in an ally in lower Greenville

**for those of y'all not from around here; it's lower Greenville Ave, Dallas, Texas**

Breakfast

First attempt at a food shot. I think it turned out rather well. I wasn't sure which was better, the one posted, or this one. Next attempt I should probably iron the tablecloth, lol.

Life isn't fair.

Why is it that some ants get to walk at their own pace, and others have to run back and forth carrying a heavy load all day? Doesn't seem fair to me. What's probably even less fair, is that after I used them for my PAD, I committed a mass murder against them, then went on about my day, like nothing happened.

It's a chopper baby...

They build the coolest bikes in Dallas...

Time

While pickiing up around the house, I had to remind Katie (once again) that she needed to put her shoes in her closet where they belong. Then it hit me, just by looking at these ugly (but cute) little (but big) shoes. She's EIGHT already! How did that happen?

Itsy Bitsy

This would look so much better if it had morning dew drops on it.

That's My Girl

Sick Day.

Not really feelin' so hot today, so this is all you get.

And yes, I know I owe a penalty.

Zoe

Plumb
