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.

Gpa Prince - June 08
Grandpa was bigger than life itself and always seemed to have it by the tail. I remember spending time at the house in Katy. How his face would light up when we'd come through the front door and how much he enjoyed producing from his pockets a stash of tic tacs. I loved listening to him talk -- the subject didn't really matter. He was an expert on everything, of course. Perhaps he was occasionally wrong, but he was never in doubt. I was even endeared to his signature throat clearing that announced he was going to say something important so you'd better buckle up. Everything he did was done in a big way: Castone, greenhouse, rabbits, church service. He was a proud man, but in a way that inspired and motivated those that looked up to him to believe we could do anything we put our minds to because we were a Prince. I felt like I was important and special largely because of his influence. He touched many people other than those who knew him best. During my years as a high counselor in the stake, there wasn't a ward I visited where someone didn't come up to me and ask if I was related to Grandpa. It always made me proud to tell them that I was his grandson.

Are Camels Cool?
Not sure, but they are definitely a strange looking creature to me. This was taken on Friday at Global Wildlife Center. This place is about 20 min. from our house and much more up close and personal than the zoo.

MNP
I'm finding that my favorite pictures just happen. Mattie had her head on Anne's shoulder and looked up. The light was perfect and it worked. I could've spent all day trying to set this one up and it wouldn't have worked. This was taken with a really inexpensive portrait lens that I'm finally figuring out.

Raining Beads
Some say that all the Mardi Gras beads in everyone's attic is the real reason New Orleans is sinking.

Missy-Portrait
Yes, she is a lot of work and can be a pain at times but Missy is family. She has the appetite of an elephant and is afraid of her shadow but she loves to snuggle with the kids.

Geaux Saints!
Church today was a sea of black & gold. One guy had a jersey over his tie and under his coat. The best was a lady who started her testimony with a "Who Dat!"
