Pretty cool texture when viewed big. Not sure what the white stuff is -- sort of reminds me of lichen.

Jambalaya Cook-off
On Friday I participated in a jambalaya cook-off at work. We started at 5:00 a.m. Our team didn't win but it was a lot of fun.

Fall Mums
I'm not a big Halloween fan but Mom inspired me to think about the fall colors. Couldn't find much in the way of leaves but Anne bought some Mums this week that fit the bill.

Amelia Bedelia
Today was storybook character day at school. Mattie chose to be Amelia Bedelia. Anne made the costume -- apparently this is how she spent her evenings when I was in Houston this week!

Sea Wolf
Went canoeing Friday on the Tchefuncte River. This boat looked abandoned at first but then we realized that it was being used as a fishing camp.

Eliza
Had a fun weekend visiting with Tim, Carolee, & Eliza. Of course, I had to turn my camera on Eliza. She seemed to enjoy having her picture taken and even struck a pose for me.

Birthday Boy!
Post is a little late -- spent Friday evening at Boy Scout Camp with some of the scouts in our ward.

Miss Kate
I usually try to shoot at eye level but this one has a different perspective but I think it works. This is my cute niece, Kate, enjoying an ice cream cone after hiking Mt. Timpanogos cave.

Antelope Island Sunset
I took this picture from a park near Anne's parents' house in SLC. Was hoping for some more clouds but love the color.
Wilson Arch
Just returned from our trip to Utah. Wilson Arch is south of Moab. We took a quick break here from the van on the way to SLC.

Spot the Gator
Went back to the swamp last night and the gators were out. Saw about 7 or so. Thomas was thrilled -- until the ants and mosquitos found us.

Cloudy Morning at the Swamp
Woke up early hoping to catch a nice sunrise photo but too many clouds. This swamp is about 10 min. from our house.

Baby Charlotte
My newest niece, Charlotte. Just found out that Dan & Melissa had their "little guy" today so I was just a couple days late in getting a shot of my newest nephew.

Aimee's Turn
Same lighting set up as the portrait of Mattie. Used my 50mm prime lens and it sure seems sharper than my 18-200mm zoom.

Mattie-Portrait
Really like how this one turned out. Used natural light from the window and a reflector that Mattie is holding to get rid of shadows. Got the black background from the back of Anne's window shades (which she is holding).

Owl Limit?
Andrew and I went for a little drive on Sunday and saw this owl. I was worried I'd miss the shot and didn't compose it very well (I should have gotten the whole sign in the picture). We also saw a gator on this drive.

Ditch Fun
Had a good Louisiana downpour this afternoon. Thomas and the kids enjoyed playing in the ditch water after dinner.

Gotcha!
Thomas is still infatuated with frogs. Went to the pool today and some guy asked if I was the father of the boy that's crazy about frogs. He is quite skilled at knowing where to find these things.

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there who spend so much time feeding and taking care of their little (and not so little ones).

Water Lilly
The water lillies are blooming in the pond in our subdivision. There is so much color here in the springtime. It's making up for an unremarkable fall.

Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co.
Old steam engine on display in Pontchatoula, Louisiana,
a little town about 25 min. from us. This weekend was their annual Strawberry Festival.

Play Ball!
Bethany is so excited that baseball is back. She's been watching the Red Sox v. Yankees game tonight and practicing her violin at the same time.

Happy Easter!
Enjoyed listening to General Conference this weekend. Was able to get a picture of the kids between sessions. Gotta love Thomas' expression.

Owl Eye or Butterfly?
Hi Sophie. I'm glad you're learning about butterflies. This is another butterfly picture that I took. If you look at the big spot on the wing it sort of looks like the eye of an owl. This is a pretty creative way to keep predators away don't you think?

Butterfly on Frosted Window
This is a live butterfly that landed on a frosted/opaque window in the butterfly exhibit at the Insectarium. I used my flash so I was able to get light from both sides, illuminating the wings.
