July fun

My friend Cara invited me over for some BBQ and velvet cake on Friday, and I caught this sunset pic from her balcony.

Hannah, one of my co-residents, and her husband John invited me and some other friends to their cabin for the weekend.

Anyone know who this is? Meeting Sir. Topom Hatt was just too much for our kids. Sam wouldn't even stand in the picture.

We thought posting this picture would make you want to come visit us.

Look who's got Dad's curls. . .

Photography Phun

I've been doing some experimenting with this software that lets me combine multiple photos to get more detail in the shadows and the highlights. Here are a few of my experiments.





Ya gotta click on this photo to blow it up to see all the detail including the distant trees and the stars.

Red River Gorge

I went hiking yesterday with one of my co-residents and his family around the Red River Gorge in Daniel Boone State Park. It was such a beautiful place. Here are some pics. This is on top of Battleship Rock. Natural Bridge is on the right.

It's crazy what these kids pick up on. . . everything!

Last night I realized that I picked up an unnecessary expensive prescription for Lauren.  When I told Sarah, her knee-jerk reaction was "Oh crap."  Sam was in the room and he immediately scolded Sarah, "Mommy, you said crap, that's a mean word.  You only say that when you're cooking dinner."  

Out of the mouths of babes. . . .
