Day 170 - new artist is born

So Emmaline is following in her mamas footsteps. Another artist is born. Yup, I'm so proud. She definately has her own "style" and did this pic free hand in no time flat.

Day 169 (24 wks) - SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!

Many of you remember how completely excited I was at finding the "Toy Car Story" cars awhile back. I even went online ISO the other "Car" parody cars (bugs life, monsters inc...etc). Well, no such luck. I DID, however find Mike and Sully online but didn't make that final step to purchase them online. Just couldn't do it.
So imagine my glee (reminicent of a 2 yr old) in seeing Mike and Sully at TARGET!! Oh yeah, baby. They're mine. ALLLLLLL mine.

Day 168 - Jaded

Day 164 - all about color

Day 163 - "valley faire"

This is a lithograph my mother bought at an art auction many years ago. The hills remind me of Vacaville. It hangs it my living room and reminds me t have "fun" now and again.

Day 161 - bloomin'

Day 159 - Pretty in Pink

I looked out of my window and saw this bizarre sky. I've heard the saying "red sky in morning, sailors take warning...red sky at night, sailors delight." So.....what's pink mean?

my well loved, well worn flip-flops.

Day 148 - Discovering Discovery Kingdom (21 wks)

Seriously I could have posted about 30 pics today. We had such fun at Six Flags (no longer Marine World) Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo.

See more pics Sure they're not looking at me...they're looking at SF's photog. Thanks guys!

One of two, newer, younger dolphins...boy they were having a blast. This one kept zooming in on Ian who was sitting in the window.

At first I was really bummed with how this pic turned out but once I opened it on my computer at home...I loved it!

Day 147 - Park it!

After months and months of waiting our new park opened up. Of course we had to test drive everything. It was fun! Ian loved the bulldozers and Emmy loved the spinning seat.

Conquering the rock wall.

tea in the train cars.

Day 141 - what a difference ISO makes

ISO 100 - 1/250 (I think)

same lighting conditions taken within 1 minute of the last pic.

ISO 800 - 1/40

Day 140 - natural technicolor (20 wks)

No color pop action was used. This is real color.

I defogged, burned the edges, sharpened for web and added my watermark.
