Donut Eating Tinker Bell!

As I walked into the kitchen today, this is how I found Kai. When I asked what he was doing, he simply stated that he was Tinker Bell eating a donut.

A Neighborhood Halloween Preview!

When the kids went out to play today, they quickly realized that all of the kids were sporting halloween costumes. They raced inside and put on costumes of their own. Funny thing though...Halloween's not for another two weeks!

Fall Fun!

A Stab at Manual Mode!

I was inspired by my friend Marti's blog to try a new mode on my camera. Since I began using my new camera last Christmas, I have mostly been an auto, Av, or self-portrait kind of photographer, always skipping over the big "M" on my wheel of choices.

Today, I told the kids that they had to help me to be a better photographer...that today I was trying a new mode on my camera and that they, of course, would need to be my subjects. After a few grunts and groans, they reluctantly agreed. Well...I had to promise that they could play with the neighbors across the street if they helped me take just a couple of good shots. Bribery always works.

Anyway, I really had no idea what I was doing, but I think I got a couple of good photos. The one of our cat eating grass is a bit freaky if you ask me. Her exposed teeth make her look vicious. She actually is a wonderfully sweet cat.

Pure Joy!

Kai Man!
