photo of the day

We took a drive today. I was excited to get to take a different kind (and by different I mean, not a flower or a cat or a dog). We managed to find this cool reflection. Had we been there just a minute or two ealier the light would have been even better.



And before we went out I took some photos of the kitten. Processed them all weird because I can.

Our little Nutty! I finally got one of her today. I pounced when I saw that she was relaxin on the bed. She loves sleeping there, like all day. She was cooperative for a little bit today.



And one more.



And on of the little guy because he hates to be left out.

Well, I was trying to take a picture of our girl kitty today. She hasn't been my photo of the day for awhile. However, she decided that she did want me to photograph her today and played hard to get. The little dude however, was more than happy to pose. I will get one of her tomorrow.



Here it the best on of Nutty I could get.

This is a shot I took with my new Lensbaby. Still playing around with it to get the feel of it. I bought some flowers and did indoor shots so that I could play in a more controled environment (no wind). Though, using a flash with the Lensbaby creates its own challenges.

Happy Birthday Shiloh! Okay, her birthday is actually the 7th, but today, it was her birthday party. We all had lots of fun. There was hide and seek, a 3 legged race, a pinata, pin the tail on the donkey, cakes that looked like hamburgers, ice cream and lots of presents. All the essential ingredients for a good birthday party.

This is Shiloh with the pinata. I don't think she likes to be the center of attention (she is very shy, which is ironic as her name is Shiloh) and, as you can see, she is hiding her face as she hits the pinata.
The pinata eventually lost it's head and spilled out candy and toys for all the kiddies. I think everyone had fun.


And I took a bunch (and I mean a BUNCH more pictues).

Cakes that look like hamburgers.


Balloon!


First there was hide and seek. Can you find Macki?


I think they are in here!


Next up is the 3 legged race. Cole and Roger are coming to watch.


Shiloh and Tom and Macki and Jake get ready.


And they're off!


Lucas and Jada take a comanding lead and Shiloh and Tom pull into second.


Look at them go!


Shiloh gets second place!


Cole watches it all with amazement.


Next it is pinata time and Cole is up first.


Cole's turn is over, but he just has to have one more hit.


Shiloh's turn! It is way up there.


Cole watches as Shiloh hits the pinata.


Now it is Jada's turn. Let's make sure she is dizzy.


Macki's turn to get dizzy!


Girl Kris and the little ones watch Macki go.


Jo, Ric and Michelle watch as well.


The pinata is still hanging in there. Shiloh gets another turn.


Then Jada gets another turn, and that is the end of the pinata.


Candy and toys for everyone!


Boy Kris helps Cole with his whistle.


Finally time for cake. Shiloh sits patiently at the table.




The candles are lit... and then blown out.


Yummy cake and then time for presents.






Mirror, mirror on the floor....


And that's all folks!
