Thanksgiving 2006

And Mom fell asleep BEFORE dinner! Ahhhh, we had fun!

Ugh! The whole time I had my settings incorrect, so everything is blurry. But this was part of the dinner, mmmm.... yummy!

4' 0"

Aren't cat feet cute?

Up Close - What is it?

OK, the first one is a chocolate bar, the second one is the heel of a loaf of 12-grain bread, and the third is a Braeburn apple with a bite out of it (a couple hours old).


Easy, I'm sure, but see if you can guess what these are.

Autumn

I'm thankful for Autumn, as it's a beautiful transition from Summer to Winter. These were taken at Baker Lake last weekend.

Belly Assignment

Not quite on my belly, but I was squatting pretty low to catch Henry crawling in the grass.

Another DOF photo

I know, GROSS! A BUG! But I love how this photo turned out. You can see the detail in its wings, and the joints in its legs. Freaky.

DOF Assignment

This photo of the dogwood tree in our backyard was taken a few months ago, with my HP digital camera before it died (the camera, that is). I'll have to try another DOF photo with the new camera.

A Black & White

I played with the Black & White setting. Fun!

Angles Assignment

I like this photo, but it's not the best because of the position of the figs. It makes the photo seem off balance with the size of the leaves.

Angles Assignment

I actually took 7 pictures of the figs on our tree, and thought this one was best. I shot it from underneath the tree. I like the clarity of the figs.

This is my posing subject in a chair. Actually, he got caught sleeping on the kitchen chair; something new for him. I liked the colors in this photo, but I'll try something else also.

Somewhere over the rainbow...

9/15/06 - Beautiful evening rainbow over Mt. Si. Bruce shot this with our new Nikon D70s.

Evening Rainbow over Barn

My first real photo taken with the new camera, a Nikon D70s. Evening rainbow over the barn in the field on 202. Mt. Si is to the left. Bruce and I were parked waiting for the elk to come graze in the field, but only two showed and it was too dark by then. The rainbow made it worth the wait.

Houston Sunset

I took this picture from my hotel room window. It's one of the most gorgeous sunsets I've ever seen, over a lake in Houston (Clear Lake?), in September 2005.

This Heron seemed to say, "If you're quiet and don't scare away my dinner, I'll pose for you."

This is one of my favorite photos. I took it early in the morning (o.k., 6 a.m.), and the dew was still on the daisy. The bee seemed to be sleeping and stayed posed while I took several shots.

"And for my next trick..."

"Well, I'll just try a little taste, if you don't mind."

"Hi there," said the young black bear, "Do you mind if I empty your birdfeeder? By the way, you have a lovely backyard."
