Hotel Hotties...

After a brief lapse in my navi-guessing prowess (we only got a little lost, and only for a moment), we found ourselves at our final hotel destination... Sallie had fun with the revolving doors...don't see many of thos…
For today, I think I'll quit talking so much and simply post pics of our drive from central California across to the Pacific coast. It was the quietest part of the trip...we just relaxed and took in the scenery. We sta…
Pavement and A Poppy...Day Two, Part Two

After a few more miles of dust and dirt, we were back on the pavement once again...heading towards Tropico... The name itself conjures up visions of palm trees and beaches...but alas..nothing but a shack town with a mi…
Sallie's dirt...Day Two, Part One

So after we gased up the Tahoe, we were on our way again. Gas prices remained around $3.20 or so (for regular, mind you). What we SHOULD have done was put up sails...it gets super windy in the central area of California.…
And we're off like a herd of turtles...

Okay, so I'm pretty much caught up and can now delight you all with my recent adventure with my mom and sister, Sallie. I'll nudge you if I see you nodding off... Our goal was to visit what we have fondly starting calli…
How do you turn this thing on, anyway...?

Last week, George and I had a shoot here at our home studio, but since he had sent my Tamron lens from my 20D in for adjusting and we hadn't gotten it back yet, I had to shoot with his Olympus E-1. No problem I thought, …
God's curly ribbon...

We have a lot of ferns in our yard (I love ferns cuz I don't have to do anything to keep them alive...they just seem to survive whatever comes along). When they start "blooming" they have the most playful curled leaves..…
It's a piece of cake...

Our photo class assignment for this week was "Photo Essay" which I love do... I chose to document Barbara's latest project: a 25th wedding anniversary cake (her first paid cake job). I'm so proud of her...it turned out b…
Random Rainy Day "Art"...

We had a nice little rain today...nothing like the weather the east coast is expecting, or what the midwest has experienced. Just a nice little rain. So, I cleaned around the house (finally!) and then found some old pho…
Beware...doggie pics ahead...

I know what you're thinking...*gag...not doggie pics again*, but I've worked really hard this week so now I'm relaxing by playing around in photoshop with the cutest little grand-dog in the whole world. Really. Well, exc…
Spring break...for the moment

George is in L.A. for the Dodger home-opener this week and left me with his Canon 5D...woohoo! I so want my own now. But anyway...this is my favorite time of year...so many beautiful flowers. I wish Xanga had scratch-n…
I've been randomly framed!!!

At the end of our photo class on Tuesday, one of the girls said she really wanted to photograph the area around our neighbors house up the road. (Some of you may remember the barn and old truck I've posted from there...)…
