I was asked to take pictures of the bishop's family yesterday. Here is one that I liked. I processed this with the antique photo preset in Lightroom.

Causeway Sunset-2
In the distance is the 26 mi Lake Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge. I usually travel this at least once a day and occasionally the sunsets are impressive.

Old Dockhouse at Sunset
No wind on Lake Pontchartrain this evening -- doesn't happen often. This was taken well after the sun had set.

Mandeville Water Tower Tree
Went to a fun park tonight that has a cool light display. I can see the water tower tree from the Interstate when I drive home from work.

Snow in NOLA
It started snowing around 10:00pm and it's still coming down -- big, white, fluffy flakes : ) Too bad Mattie and Thomas are already in bed.

Suspended
I've noticed I like swings but getting good images is hard for me. I used a Lightroom preset to process this image and I like how it turned out. Of course, it helps to have a photogenic subject!

Red Flower
I took this back in July with my old camera. Maybe Sara can tell me what kind of a flower this is and I'll come up with a better title.

When we were in Utah on vacation, Bethany, Aimee, and I were able to meet up with Susan and Al for a nice hike in the Uintahs. Fun afternoon with wonderful friends.

St. Tammany Gator Fest
Went to a Gator Festival today. This is a 2-year-old that B is holding. Did you know that gators are almost always born in August?

Rose
We have a pink rose bush in our front flower bed. I'm not a huge fan of rose bushes, though I must admit they produce some amazing flowers.

Lounging Around
Sorry for the lack of diverse subjects but I tend to photograph what's around me. These days it's my kiddos -- wouldn't have it any other way. There will be time enough for other subjects later.

Shampooing in the Rain
To what lengths will a teenage girl go to wash her hair when there is no water pressure? Good thing we get lots of rain here in La!

"I didn't eat the frosting!"
Been fooling around with some new photo software that Eldon & S. sent me. I have so much to learn. Here is a quickie of Mattie.

Anne-iversary Rose
Ok, so I was a couple weeks late but Anne and I celebrated 17 yrs. Went to dinner and brought her some flowers (that Aimee picked out).

Anne surprised us with muffins for breakfast today! This is Melissa Z's recipe, which I highly recommend. Shooting info: 1/25 sec at f/16, ISO 200

Carousel Fun
not perfectly executed but was trying to freeze Andrew while capturing the motion (called panning) -- easier said than done
