365 Project - Day 327 - Pouring

Day 327






We made a stop at the mall today, upon leaving Sara wanted to play in the water fountain. We got there to agree to only dabble in it. While she played, I shot a few images with a slower shutter speed.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 326 - Playing Horse

Day 365




Today, we took a drive just to get lost and find something new. After about 20 minutes of driving, we happened upon a field with roosters, lambs, quail, and 2 horses. Perla pull over so I could get a shot of the day. Once I got the fence, the above horse started to approach until it was only inches in front of me. My first thought was 'Thank you for being a friendly horse!' but then I was thinking, while kneeling down for the shot...'Do horses spit? Nah...that's Llamas...I think'. Well I'm happy to report there were no surprises during the shoot. Sadly, Sara was sleeping when we got there and would not wake up to say 'Hi'. She did, however, enjoy the images later once we were home.

Enjoy.

365 project - Day 325 -Backup Power

Day 325

I was putting the final touches on a slide show for a wedding when we lost power. Luckily, I have an APC backup power supply! Had enough time to save my last changes be for the PC shutdown into darkness. The backup battery pack was a $90 investment and tonight it saved me from having to redo the slide show later. Another one of those 'things' you should have. * This post was sent completely from my smartphone!

365 Project - Day 324 - Love

Day 324




One sign with a big meaning. We have signed to Sara since she was an infant. The results are that she knows more than 60 different signs and can put small sentences together. This past weekend we were at a get together with my step-brother's family, mom, and relatives for his daughters 1st birthday. While there we were using sign language, speaking Spanish and English, just a good reminder of how diverse our family is. And yes Sara is exposed to all three languages, plus I'm adding a little Japanese to the mix.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 322 - Different Light

Day 322




Tonight I was playing with a macro lens, cell phone (light under the acorns), and of course, acorns. Just looking at different ways to light objects, and the flashlight function on my cell phone was just powerful enough under a toy desktop to help illuminate these acorns.

Speaking of light, I just realized that my image that was submitted in the Pictage & Rangefinder Cover Contest is now able to be voted for, Image #931. So if you feel so inclined, please give it a vote.




Enjoy.
