Family photo shoot in the rain. They were all such good sports with the rain :O) It of course stopped raining when we decided to call it quits.

Yesterday was my husbands birthday, but I was busy making a short film all day. Today we got a special treat. My Mom offered to watch the kids so we could go do something. We didn't see any movies that sounded good and didn't really want to be stuck inside on such a beautiful day. We went to lunch and then got to go for an amazing walk/hike. It was nice to get out in the fresh air.

This is what could happen when you have a photographer follow you. My husband and I were following my Brother and his two friends to the California Independent Film Festival 2011 Iron Filmmaker Competition. I of course was goofing off with my camera. I had to wait until we stopped at a light. On the freeway the truck was sooo bouncy that I couldn't keep the focus on the side mirror.

I was a little bummed. I brought my camera with me to my Daughters apt. today. Last week we were in the casting room with lots of cool tools. I was hoping to get a picture of a fun gadget.......No such luck. So we got placed in a little room with a sliding frosted glass door. So here is my reflection. I really did look for something fun...LOL. There was no drawer unopened.

This was taken while using the blower to do yard work. This was my attempt at making it more fun....LOL I got stuck home with a sick kid again. The backyard has been driving me nuts. I started blowing leaves and saw this. I grabbed my camera and put it on an upside down pot and set the timer.

The eye of one of the kids at work :O) I just love this little girl's eyes. They are so beautiful even in color. I took a picture of her while she was playing, but ended up with this b&w image of one eye. It's amazing the detail that can be caught from across the room.

This might not be very exciting to you, but it's the story behind it that makes it great. This once was a pretty tree. It lived in my house until my Daughter decided that she wanted to help me pull a dead leaf off of the tree. She pulled so hard that she pulled the entire top of the tree off. From that day on it has been known as the stick plant. Tomorrow our "Stick Plant" will make it's way to who knows where in the the Green waste truck.
