Bodie, Ca

I grew up a couple hours from Bodie and visited often while growing up. I took this pict last May during a trip up to visit my Mom.

Just for fun

Whee!!

After the session session

After todays session with my nearly lifelong friend C and her family, C and I headed downtown with her son and my daugher for some lunch and a walk. When we came upon this neat brick wall, B was sweet enough to indulge me in a few shots. I'll put up a couple more as I edit...

Thank you again R family for a great day!!!

Jellyfish

Last October, we took a day trip down to Monterey and went to the aquarium. The jellies were very cool!

More inchwormography

My lime green inchworm needs hot pink racing stripes, eh? Can we say "addicted to macro?" LOL

More vintage train

I WON SOMETHING!

I don't win things. Ever. Ok, maybe an occasional argument but that's about it. So I went into Safeway today with Justin to get a bottle of water before heading to the mall. I also picked up wine coolers. The checkout guy carded me. AWWW! How sweet. Not necessary, but sweet ;) I swipe my club card and it does not go through. I think "aw great just what I need..." He ran it a couple more times and the register finally beeped. I thought it was the thing saying that I had 10 cents off per gallon of gas... The guy goes "Congratulations, you won an iPod." Remember I don't *win* things so I said "yeah, hahaha, you're really funny today" He says "No, really, you won an iPod... just go over to customer service with this reciept and they'll give it to you" I said "Holy $h!t! Are you serious?" Now he's looking at me like I have 2 heads. "Umm yesssss, you can pick it up over there." So I did. :)

I got carded (even if it was a joke) and won an iPod Shuffle... does it get much better than this?? ;)

Going through some picts from our trip to the ranch Jan. 07

Sunset

Blast from the past... literally.

I shot this last November while in Ogden Ut. Jeremi and I met up, went to the train station and spent about 3 hours shooting. We were there so long, we violated the parking restriction of 2 hrs and ended up with parking tickets!

Sweet, minty addiction....

Catching tadpoles

Frogography

Every year we get around 20 frogs that hang out in one of our 2 small ponds. These guys serenade us every night starting in March. They lay 1000's of eggs in the ponds and we take them out before coming out of the goo they are encased in so the mosquito fish don't eat them. Teeny baby tadpoles resemble mosquito larvae in appearance and movement so they aren't very safe in the pond. The kids love watching them grow their arms and legs and let them go back into the pond when their tails begin to dissappear. They are itty bitty things when their tails completely dissappear- only about 1/4 inch in length. They grow to be about 1.5 inches long as adults.
This frog seemed comfortable sitting in my 7 year old's grimy little boy hands :)
