Action. Week 22-52

A little action for Charlotte and her enthusiastic (awesome) aunt Sara at the Memorial day carnival.  So much fun.  I've been making major progress with my understanding of the various focus modes on my camera.  I have to say I was pretty thrilled to catch this shot even though they were spinning around and going up and down at a million miles an hour.  Continuous tracking is my new best friend.

Signs. Week 21 - 52.

I love this little sign at my daughters school.  It directs the children to the playground.  Magical place.  Doesn't it make you just want to follow the sign?

  Not sure why but I just liked the lighting on this sign - that late evening sky with the neon sign just starting to light up.

Communication. Week 20-52

From the oldest member of my family to the youngest... we are connected.  Don't know what I would do if I couldn't reach my family across the ocean in an instant.

Food. Week 19-52

I have been dreading the "food" theme.  Taking good photos of food intimidates me completely.  So instead I just decided to take pictures of everything I ate all week.  Of course I forgot about breakfast and lunch.  But most dinners I remembered.  Not that anyone cares but this is what I ate!

Monday night: Cinco de mayo leftovers... fajitas and Monday night margaritas

Tuesday night - Birthday dinner at a tapas bar: scallops, lamb meatballs, seared tuna, chocolate cake

Wednesday night. Grilled shrimp salad on placemats from home...

Friday lunch (I guess I forgot Thursday dinner): Random mix of salads with crab cake and spicy chicken.

Friday night: finally i found a decent pizza  in our town. Thin crust with perfect ratio of sauce/cheese.  Real cheese.  Not that kind of goopy cheese grease that you find at most pizzerias. Of course I also tried the divine grilled octopus. yum.

Then we all (reindeer included) went out for icecream.  I'm stuffed.

Reflections. Week 18 - 52

Hi!  Here I am in the reflecting glass of some rather peculiar (and filthy) sunglasses.

This goose was chilling out at the fish hatchery.  Clearly hoping to get fed.  The water was so perfectly still that reflections were easy to come by.  Week 17 already?  This year is starting to fly by.
