Feeling the weight of delinquency lifting...

I was up ridiculously late last night trying to catch up this blog.  Granted, I've still got tons of stuff from vacation, but I'm OK doing that when I get the chance.  It's been driving me batty that I've got all these videos and photos that I want to show off, but couldn't seem to find enough time to do it.  So, I suffered through the day today from little sleep, but felt MUCH better because I'm almost caught up, and I'd say that I'm completely caught up after this post, so please excuse the randomness...

We were at Babies R Us the other night to pick up some baby gates....not for Izzy, but for Rosie :)  Anyway, here she is running through the store with one show.  I don't condone this, but was pretty much powerless to stop it...

Oh, I almost forgot these.  Joacim came home from the grocery store on Saturday night and told me to go outside to take photos of the moon.  Well, I'm always up for a challenge, and the moon is one of my biggest, so I thought I'd give it a go.  When I went outside, though, I couldn't see it yet because it was so low in the sky, so I took a little drive out to the country to see if I could get some good ones...

I love that you can actually see stars in this one

and you can actually see craters here..so. cool.

This is actually a picture of the crappy retention pond behind our house.  Looks so much better in the moonlight, doesn't it?

Ok, that's all I've got  :)

Some nature for ya'

I love the spring. Summer would be my favorite time of the year, but that's changing a bit more as I get older. I'm definitely liking spring a lot though...I've had enough of this crappy weather. I love to see the buds on the trees evolve to flowers and then leaves. I love the fact that we planted our flower bed with plants that require NO maintenance...I just sit and watch it turn purty :)

And I love the fantastic shots you can get if you just pay attention...




Now, if only I had a macro lens (hint hint, Joacim...wish list item!!! :)

I've also been on a mission to photograph the moon. don't know what it is, but I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I GET A GOOD SHOT. I probably shouldn't have started off trying to get a full moon, as there just isn't enough shadow to make it an interesting shot. Didn't stop me from trying, though...
