Family!

May 8, 2009 – 11:08 pm

David & I went to visit relatives and give him a chance to meet my family! I am way late posting these, but here they are. We also visited the beach, which is very contemplative and quieter and has a different vibe. Anyway, here are the pictures!

This is my super-cute (and quite a handful!) nephew. He’s 5 years old and loves to tell you about it!

And now for some pictures of the beach! Despite David’s contemplative look, we actually laughed a lot on this trip!

Here I am, always with the camera (and I love the sparkly reflection)!

And my favorite, the aquarium! The jellyfish were easy to photograph.

An endless horizon. It’s often cloudy in this part of the state, and David captures it perfectly in this shot. Would you believe, it looks almost exactly the same in color as it does in black & white!

Love in Cincinnati

July 9, 2008 – 7:41 pm

My dear friend Ray is one of my favorite people in the world because he is so loving. I was visiting him & his family on vacation, but I’m happy I caught some great moments.

But first–I have to include a shot of their super-cute cat! This cat welcomed me by curling up to me and sleeping on my bed the first night I was there. So sweet!

Ray hugs his son before sending him off to camp…

And my favorite, from a quick portrait session for Ray & his wife.

Check out their portraits–I took all of them in just one minute. They are very expressive!

Ohio!

July 3, 2008 – 2:05 pm

So after a grueling, 12 hours and 4000 miles of flying, I finally got to Cincinnati! (Don’t ask me why I had to fly 4000 miles just to get from California to Ohio–blame our current airline situation for that!)

So far, we went to Findlay Market. Such a HUGE contrast in prices between here and S.F.! Look at the price for this big tray of fresh vegetables:

And I couldn’t resist taking a shot of this poultry store… has it really been around since 1880?

Sunny California, pt. 2

June 30, 2008 – 10:36 am

Well, I’m still visiting my mom here in California. We had a pool party the other day. Here’s everyone in the pool. It looks like a water ballet.

My nephew is super-cute and hilarious! Here he is trying to put on a helmet.

My mom is so creative–she just turned his skateboard helmet backwards to protect his head for a quick “game” of football:

And now it’s time to rest.

I couldn’t resist a window portrait with all the great window light in Mom’s house!

Stay tuned–from San Francisco I fly to Cincinnati to visit my best friend!

Turner Falls

June 8, 2008 – 7:23 am

This weekend I took a trip to Turner Falls, OK. It was really fun. The drive was relaxing and all the cheerful kids swimming in the lake were so joyful. It’s the first weekend of summer!

A view of Bridal Veil swimming hole. I’m not afraid of heights!

My beloved car on top of the hill, with storm clouds in the background.

At a rest stop, I just couldn’t resist these tiny flowers:

A windy tree and an interesting sky.
