A Little Play Time

What is this...

 

Oh I know...it goes on my....

A little help here?

It worked!

Fantastic!

 

Liz & Alan

Last week I celebrated my birthday by inviting friends to come over so I could take random pictures of them.  Being friends, they put up with this kind of thing.  Photos/stories will be posted as I get (if I get) approval from folks.

Liz & Alan

I've known Liz since high school...



She is independent, beautiful, and wickedly intelligent.

Not too long ago, she met this guy...Alan.



I don't know too much about him, yet in spite of that, I think it's safe to say he is friend approved.  Because when he's around, this happens:



And that is all I need to know.



Note to Liz - I said need.  Different than want.  Still want to know everything.  ;)

Don't forget to Check the Weather!

Wake up at 4am. Clean the house. Rearrange the furniture. Set up the light kit.  Check. Check. Check. Check.  Confirm that the weather is suitable for travel….ummm…Oops.  One quick phone call and an open palm slap to the forehead later… and I’m sitting in the middle of my room with a free day ahead of me.

The snow may have postponed today’s photo shoot, but by George all that set up was not going to be for nothing.  Enter practice time.  Except for those pictures taken during Christmas, this is the first I've gotten to play with my new lighting kit.  Four lesson videos later (Yea for Lynda.com) and I’m ready to give it a shot.
When I first started, hubby was away.  That left me...

 

 

Cougar Girl...

 

and Storm Girl...

Then hubby came home...

 

and the whole family officially became part of the action.  :)  

Overall, I've got to say...I really think I'm going to like being able to take photos indoors after the sun goes down.  Extra bonus...lighting kit means that while it was -2 outside, I could stay nice and toasty warm inside without loosing a day of shooting.  Oh...yea...I think I'm really really going to like this.

Lesson for the day: Always Check the Weather!

Kittyerobics

Whew...it's been a while.  Lets start it slow with a little kittyerobics....

First stand tall....



 Get ready.....



and stretch.....



Good job! Now off to find a treat and a warm spot to curl up for a nice nap.  :)

Merry Christmas!

Keep and eye out....

Santa Claus is coming to Town!

May the Holiday Season bring you child-like joy and hope.

Merry Christmas!

Smart Watch Faces

Hubby got a new smart watch.  So I decided to make some watch faces for him to use...and figured I'd share them with you.  Feel free to download.

Clicking on an image should take you to the page on flickr where you can download them.  If not, try this link here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/76931929@N03/sets/72157649464971556/

Let me know if it works and if you'd like more.  Thanks!

Just a few Moments - Happy 3rd Birthday!

What was that, you said?



Three? No way!



I know...but it is true!



I saw for myself...there was cake and everything.




























But you know...three's not so bad.  After three years of experience...

Just think of how much trouble you can get into by year four.

Happy Birthday to my little adventure finding niece!
