Day 77 3-31-11

Sun flare.  I didn't exactly get my subject between the sun and me, but I was able to capture the sun going behind the mountain while we were walking to the park.  About 2 minutes later there was no more sun to  use!  SS1/1000 f/3.5 ISO100

Day 76 3-30-11

Curiosity.  I was trying to get that afternoon sun required for a sun flare, but the weather would not cooperate and there was too much cloud cover (or at least I think).  Instead I captured Kai staring intently at some dead leaves he picked up while I was getting the settings for the camera.  I liked how this has the back-lit look and you can see the silhouette of the mountains in the background (my favorite part about where we live).  SS1/200 f/2.5 ISO100

Day 75 3-29-11

Dragon. This is not my son.  This is a dragon.  He hisses and flies around the house and anywhere we go.  He is often a red dragon, but is known to change colors, which happens in the basement (usually when we are trying to do something else like go to bed).  He is a ferocious dragon and is not very good at following the rules or listening.  Still, we love our little dragon, especially when he returns Pierce to us.  SS1/125 f/1.8 ISO400

Bye!  Kai watching Grandma leave for the day.  SS1/500 ISO100 f/2.5

Day 73 3-27-11

Content.  Went over to my Mom's for breakfast today.  Kai was getting a little cranky so my Mom grabbed his hands and walked around with him.  This put a big smile on his face.  He is so proud of himself when he walks, sometime it's the only thing that makes him happy.  SS1/100 f/1.8 ISO800

Day 72 3-26-11

Gardening.  While it wasn't the warmest day we've had, it seemed like a great day to start the garden.  I always miss out on peas and lettuce because we never get out there early enough.  Joe and Pierce were kind enough to till the soil while Kai and I watched.  We didn't end up getting any seeds in the ground, but hopefully I can get them in tomorrow before it gets too chilly.  SS1/200 f/5.6 ISO100

Day 71 3-25-11

Blowout #3.  My Mom came over today and was reading to Pierce.  Noticed it was right in front of the window and had to try the blowout again.  Love how the light caught his eyelashes.  SS1/50 f/1.8 ISO3200
