More fun with flowers

 

 

 

 

Chicklet is busy furthering her modeling career, lol.

 

The blue outfit is a dress she is in the process of making, a prairie dress!  Our dear friend, Mrs. B., is helping us. She is a treasure!

The other is one of our fabric flowers that I turned into a pony tail holder.

 

 

 

Fabulous Fabric Flowers!

2 of these are made from selvages! 

Lots of fun and very easy!

too embarrassing for facebook

but I had a clue of how my day would go when I realized I sprayed my armpits w/ hairspray and not deodorant, lol!

Water Droplets

Mcp had a guest blogpost this morning and

she had posted these amazing pix of water droplets, as well as the how - to to get the shot.

I tried. Mine aren't nearly as sharp as hers, however, I did it! I set up my tripod and followed her steps and these are the better ones.

It was a lot of fun!



Weekend Getaway

 

Went to Orange County area last weekend with some friends who ran a half –marathon. (As the shirt says… I’m only half crazy).

We spent some time on the pier at Newport Beach and enjoyed taking about 2000 pix of the sunset. 

I am soooo proud of Becky & Leslie! They came in under 2 hrs 45min… I would have dropped in 2 min 45secs.  Okay… maybe 20 min 45 secs.

Another New Toy!!

 

 

Well, as much fun as the 10-24mm lens was, it wasn't a practical lens for me.  I am on a limited budget, and if I'm gonna spend a chunk of change, I need to spend it on something a little more versatile and practical.

I returned the 10-24mm earlier and got the 28-75mm 2.8, fixed aperture zoom.  If I want to go wider, which I sometimes like to do, I can just get an adaptor for it. Oops, gotta go on Ebay and get one quick!

Here's a few samples from this evening (using a homemade reflecting board).
