Red Sky at night, sailors delight

Red in the morning sailors take warning....

I think that is how it goes. It was beautiful sunset tonight. This was taken on the way out of my parent workshop. I took four snaps today. This was snap two. My tripod was a 1999 toyota camry.

Teacher

[TOP picture] Another teacher in the house? Pretty good posture and body position, never turning your back to the kids!!!! And my 2nd shot: was this a tilt shift lens or photoshopped? What is your guess?

11:31 Happiest time of our lives

Our daughter has made our lives so different, in the most spectacular way. Five years ago today we became one of the oldest parents of all time, well maybe not of all time but darn close ;) She has made us stay so much younger and today we celebrated her 5th birthday. We bought her a scooter and of anything she has received from us over the short 5 years this is by far the best present she has received, in her mind. The token blowing of the candles, uneventful to most but precious to the parents

And Evie, her best friend captured in a perfect light situation. Evie turns 5 in 3 weeks and they have been joined at the hip from the first week of their lives. AND I ONLY SHARE this photo with my daughters big day because I think it is one of my best shots of the year. Evie loves the camera, unlike my daughter. I hope to get feedback on this one. She also made my blog March 10th.

Play Ball CBBL

CRISP: Eric picked the category this week. My shot is a fall classic. Early October reminds me of crisp clear cold days in the northwest. It also reminds me of baseball both real and fantasy. I have been in this fantasy Baseball league for 14 years. The winner each year gets the Wild Goose Baseball trophy. It is signed each year by the winning team. The coach then keeps the trophy until the following classic and then sends it the the winner of that season. I have had it in my possession 2 of the last 3 years and am in the running again this year. My team is not as good as last year so I am a long shot to win it all. In fact the 8 teams in the playoffs I am ranked 8th. I should not get out of the first round of the playoffs. I still have the box that Dave B. sent it in from Maryland.

Smiling eyes

Her Grandma Gwen would always say she smiles through her eyes, much like her Daddy. Grandma knows best. I saw my daughter so happy today. She had the biggest smiles throughout the day today. We celebrated her birthday early and with her closest 25 friends. ;)
Early morning wakeup as she ws too excited to sleep in, we opened Grampa's present and she loved the CD's. Ate breakfast and jumped in the car to head to the jumpy place. 10am kickoff and all the kids had fun. Had pizza and juice, cake and said our good-byes. Got home and I ran to get my tire fixed. Upon my return we opened presents. and the day had not even started.

Seeing double

Well it's more than a double, I am seeing 7 different images. Done without a tripod... and the last time I try this w/o a tripod. LOL

Letters from home

I don't remember so many tub toys when I was a kid, but come to think of it I don't remember much as a 5 year old. These seem to be her favorite right now. SHe is always asking, what does this spell and it's something like gfwaq....try and tell a 5 year old what that spells...well she is not 5 yet but in a few days we will celebrate the big 5.
