Trying to make the most of the backlit water. Forgot to use a lens hood, so there's a flare.

I've heard that if you boil sweetened condensed milk for a few hours, it will turn into a caramel-like custard. We'll see...

September 19th

Was at the Science Center to recover a teddy bear.


Stopped by the stingray tank, and I swear, this guy was talking to me. Maybe he just thought I had food.

August 27th

Fun with Grammy.

August 26th

Getting wet while fully clothed. At least it was right before bath time.

August 24th

Our pool vacillates between green and blue. Here it is in a transitional phase.

August 18th

Fig galette. Snapped a few quick photos right as it started raining.

August 12th

Visiting my mom for the weekend. Had fun at the beach.


We discovered the best time to go was late afternoon/early evening. The beach and sand cool off by then. I love this picture of my husband and son. They look exactly alike.

August 6th

The Finding Nemo ride at Epcot is one of my son's favorites, especially now that he loves the movie. We also saw scuba divers cleaning inside the tanks.


I really liked this window display. Hoping it gives me inspiration for food photo styling. Any guesses which country it was from?

July 2nd

Headed back to the States. On our way to the airport, we stopped to take a picture of this very cool fountain. The lighting was all wrong to get a clear shot.

June 27th

Our first day in Paris. Went on a bike tour of the pretty parts of the city. It was almost too hot to take pictures. Almost.

June 25th

Another rainy day in Belgium. We hung out at the aquarium (Aquatopia) in Antwerp. My favorite picture from the day was of my husband and brother-in-law taking a whiz in a public stall.

June 10th

Playing around in the pool.

March 26th

Last post about Epcot. These are some pictures that I took of stuff other than topiaries.

March 12th

We took the tyke to a little splash area at Citywalk. He loved running around and playing with the water.

Here's a before picture

And an after picture

March 3rd

Have taken a few days off from photographing. Here is a picture from our day at Islands of Adventure last weekend.

February 24th

There is a huge splash zone at a local park.

Luckily, I was there when the water was turned off. Can't wait to come back with the tyke when it is warmer. He'll love the place.

I read afwell's tips on "dragging the flash" and decided to experiment with my Speedlite. This action shot is in no ways in focus, but I like how the water droplets are frozen, even though my shutter speed was 1/60. Will experiment more with this.

January 20th

Did a few things today - completed my Two Peas Week 3 which focuses on white balance. Click here for pictures. Also got an early morning picture of the kitty. I usually find her hanging out on this cube.

And I got a remote shutter release for the camera. I took this in a quickly dimming room, with a 2 second exposure, ISO 200, f/6.3.

January 15th

Hung out with the family this morning at a local park. It was the perfect weather for taking pictures - slightly overcast, but still bright.
