Marina park beach

I took my wild child to the beach for a walk today. It was a lot of fun exploring.

Bubbles bubbles bubbles . . . .

Yes, we've resorted to most anything to keep this lil girl busy. =)

Sail boat pics

We have a lot of ocean around where I live. I took these yesterday at one of the local beaches on my lunch break.

When I went to get diner tonight I was pulled to the beach. Naturally I had my camera with me. :) I was a few minutes later than I wanted to be but I wont complain about what I got. They came out well.

I love that I don't have to leave my driveway to get some cool pictures.

These are from various days but all taken from the driveway.

Beautiful sunset and palm tree.

I took this while waiting in the drive thru at KFC tonight. I have begun to take my camera with me everywhere . . . you never know where a picture will happen.

My expressive daughter

I edited it with all of the swirls for privacy reasons.

Learning the new camera. . . .

So I got a new camera for my birthday!! Yay me!! This one is a Sony a200 DSLR. I had some daylight left after work today so I walked the neighborhood and snapped away. Here are the results.

4th of July pics

I only have two from tonight but they are awesome!

Spider oh beautiful spider . . .

I have a large spider living in my roses. She makes a large web nearly every night since we tend to destroy hers every time we move our truck out of the driveway. I caught her in rebuilding action tonight. Isn't it awesome?!?







Here is the rebuilt version that I found this morning.

My brother "Little Giant"

Building from freeway

Yup it is just that but it intrigued me so I took a pic of it.

Beach pics

I went to one of my local beaches not long ago to learn my camera a bit. Here are some of the good pics. :)

Safe pics

A few months ago we went to watch a friend perform locally. We had a good time, it was a typical night except for what I found in the women's bathroom.





Yup, you guessed it, I found a safe in the bathroom and since I had the camera with me I just 'had' to take some pictures.

Hannah Graduates Kindergarten!

We had to do a traditional pose against the wall.
