Fallen off the Face of the Earth...

Ok, maybe not quite but I've been busy! Los & I are in the midst - literally - of our move to OH. I am at the hotel enjoying a little peace & quiet while I wait for los to arrive. Because we decided (and by we, I mean he) to move ourselves, Los is driving the moving van and I got to drive the car. So Anna & I arrived at our stopping point a few hours ago after a very easy, albeit long, drive. Luckily because we did a very long drive today, tomorrow will be much easier and shorter!

As much as we are going to miss all the great friends we met in TX, we are not sad to be leaving the 100+ degree heat or the spiders or crickets! We're looking forward to being in OH and a change of scenary... hopefully we'll be settled in quickly and I'll be back to posting photos (not to mention taking them!) on a regular basis. OH here we come!! :)

Number 3

I just took the 3rd photo for my class.



What do you think?

Patterns

My latest assignment from my photography class is to capture patterns. Here are 2 of the images I've come up with so far.





I still need to come up with 1 more.

I'm also hoping to get around to editting some photos from the Altus Air Show we went to this weekend. Maybe bella will cooperate and I'll be able to get that done today!

A Sad Day

I think today was just meant to be a sad day all around.

Last week, my Granddad died at the good age of 91. He had a very good life and has many people who love him, but it's still sad to lose someone who was so cherished.

This photo was taken by my sister when she was in England for Granddad's 90th birthday celebration. The funeral for him is today, but as it's in England unfortunatly I was unable to go. Even without being over there though, my thoughts are filled with memories of Granddad today.

And to add to that, this morning I woke up to the news that a training plane crashed on base today. Unfortunatly both the instructor and student in the plane died. The whole base has been shaken by this news. People seem to be holding their breath waiting for the names to be released so we can all figure out if we know the families and what we can do to help. It's times like these that you realize what a small, tight knit community the base is.

A few random ones

Just a few photos I've taken over the past few days.





And of course one of my sweet Annabella just to brighten your day!

Another one bites the dust.

Apparently it's not a good week to be a computer in my house. Not only has the desktop died, but my laptop has gone to join it. The hard drive crashed AGAIN. Luckily it's still under warranty so it will be fixed, maybe even replaced due to the multiple failures it's had (I was dreaming of a MacBook Pro but that unfortunatly won't be happening), but that means that I am now totally unable to use photoshop. I am really beginning to dislike computers...

The Apprentice

I was just watching The Apprentice (an unfortunate side effect of only have 4 channels to choose from!) and editting photos and thought this picture was surprisingly appropriate.



Looks like Bella is going for the Donald Trump Comb Over!

Some people amaze me...

Apparently any fruit or vegetable that is orange in color can be called an orange...
