Air Show


This weekend the local air force base had their annual air show. Saturday and Sunday the air was filled with the roar of planes as they flew over our house. They kept interrupting our lunch!

Father, Is God Stronger than Superman?


Actually the question was: "Is it true that God is stronger than Superman ?" (asked in an incredulous tone) . Father's answer: "Yes, but not by much" :-)

Guest Photographer #2


My guest photographer (Alex) took this one. This roots remind me of penguins.

A Hammock ?

The relationship just didn't flourish.

Guest Photographer

I keep finding pictures in my camera that I didn't take. Alex has take to grabbing the camera and taking pictures. I love this one of our emerging Hostas.

Shopping: Round 1

Have you tried shopping with a teenager lately? Round 1 is finished. Did we get anything? Yes, ONE skirt. Is that what we were looking for? NO! We were looking for an Easter dress. Have you tried to shop for a dress for a 13 year old? It is impossible! Tomorrow we will go for Round 2. Wish us luck!

Time to Play

Nicolas and I had a relaxed day today. Gabi and Alex went on a canoe trip for the day. After a morning of playing at the park, Nicolas found some time to create.

While Nico was busy I went outside to take some pictures. I found some of this wild strawberries (that is what I call them- I don't really know what they are) growing in our backyard. I love the splash of color they add to our lawn.

It is in shots like this that I am more aware of my limitations as a photographer. I have always wanted to take pictures of the squirrels. I find such a funny animal. They seem playful and they always seem to be a hurry. Anyhow this one was seating on this branch eating. I wanted to capture the moment but it didn't turn out very good. I think it is a combination of an inexperienced photographer and a very limited camera.

I Was Busy


I have been so busy this weekend that I didn't get to post any pictures. One of the things that kept me busy was Nicolas' birthday. This is not a great picture ( I didn't take it :-) )but you can get a view of my creation a Monster Snake cake. The consensus is that it looks more like a dragon. I don't mind the important thing is that it tasted great.
