Pierce and Mommy day.  We found a new playground and had a fantastic time!

Day 195 7-27-11

What a face!

Day 194 7-26-11

Driving home from my sister's house.  At a stoplight, the view from behind.  Seemed a bit magical.

Day 193 7-25-11

At a mechanic's shop waiting to see if a borrowed evaporative cooler could be fixed.  This is a vehicle next to a work area.  I loved the reflections.

Day 192 7-24-11

A friend's 2 year old birthday party.

Day 191 7-23-11

Car accident.

Day 190 7-22-11

MOVING DAY!

Day 189 7-21-11

Crazy wet weather in Colorado resulted in some massive mushrooms!  This one I took a picture of outside while waiting to get the key to my new house.

Day 188 7-20-11

Waiting for one of many appointments.  Thought I should make use of my few extra minutes of time.

Day 187 7-19-11

My little driver.

Day 186 7-18-11

Symbolism.  A bright light and reflection.  SS1/1000 f/10 ISO100

Day 185 7-17-11

Generations.  At my Mom's to celebrate my birthday.  Thought the picture of the candles was funny as the number of candles nearly torched the house!  Kai and Papa were being cute too, looking through the window at each other.

Day 184 7-16-11

Pierce's second t-ball game.  They had pictures today and I thought this one was cute for a posed shot.  SS1/160 f/5.6 ISO200

Day 183 7-15-11

Out and about on the town on my birthday.  Yep, I made it to 33!  Just about to rain when I took this shot.  SS1/250 f/1.8 ISO200

Day 182 7-14-11

Playing in good light.  SS1/80 f/1.8 ISO1600

Day 181 7-13-11

Another crazy weather day.  Sunny for the majority of the day followed by river driving (again!) and hail!  I managed to capture the hail that landed on my back deck.  All this weather is kind of freaking me out!  SS1/60 f/1.8 ISO200

Day 180 7-12-11

Sun on a cloudy day.  Rarely is it possible to take a picture of the sun directly or to even look at it, but this morning there was so much cloud cover and a bit of fog that the sun looked almost like the moon through the clouds.  I took this from my car while sitting at a stoplight.  SS1/400 f/10 ISO100

Day 179 7-11-11

Happy 1st Birthday, Kai!

Day 178 7-10-11

Over at Amy's house for Kai's and my birthday.  A fun morning with bugs and all!  Love the rolly polly shot and thought I'd throw in a few of myself with the kids that my Mom was so gracious to take.

Day 177 7-9-11

Pierce's first T ball game!  What a funny sight watching little 3 and 4 year olds try to play baseball!  It was great, only one melt-down by our little one and he bounced back from it quite well.  I was impressed!  Pictured here are the little ones stretching before the game started.  I had Kai during the game so it was difficult to get any of them playing, but this one was cute.  SS1/200 f/5.6 ISO100

Day 176 7-8-11

Rain rain rain!  The kids were so tired tonight that I managed to capture this shot after they went to bed.  Loved the reflection of the trike in the water puddle.  Not minding the rain much, reminds me of good things, which I need more than ever right now.  So, rain rain don't go away!  SS1/30 f/1.8 ISO800

Day 175 7-7-11

Torrential downpour.  The streets of Denver flooded and I had to walk through knee deep water to get to my car followed by driving down rivers.  I wish I had gotten a picture, but I was afraid I may ruin my camera with so much water!  The drive home was miserable as it took me over an hour and I had a splitting headache not cured by 3 advil.  Needless to say I was lucky that when I got home I could go lay down until bedtime for the kids.  Sorry, no photo today.

Day 174 7-6-11

Future photographer on the run.  Kai left with my camera case, not exactly sure where he was taking it or why, but then he's one year old so do we really know anything about him yet?  SS1/80 f/1.8 ISO1600

Day 173 7-5-11

The Cyan.  This is the flow cytometer by my lab bench at work.  Yes, I am a true geek for posting this picture, but I love my career so what can I say...SS1/80 f/1.8 ISO400

Day 172 7-4-11

Happy Independence Day!  Here's Kai showing off his independence...the next thing I knew he was eating dirt!  An interesting holiday for me, one I will take to heart this year.

Day 171 7-3-11

At the hair salon with the kids.

Day 170 7-2-11

The house on Leyden.  SS1/2000 f/1.8 ISO100.

Day 169 7-1-11

Kai fell asleep in the car seat today, holding on for dear life!  I didn't know I was that bad of a driver!  SS1/100 f/1.8 ISO400
