It is the little moments in life that sometimes help us get through the stressful or tough times. The other day my wife took our middle child to a doctors appointment and so I was left at home with my youngest and oldest. My son (the oldest) was off doing his thing in another room of the house and I was left to play with my little girl. Whether it be good or bad I spend a large majority of my time in my office on my off days from work and this day was no exception. I put on a movie for my daughter while I played on my computer. She was comfortably standing between my legs with her head resting on my lap watching the movie and when I looked down I saw the light from the window casting gently on her face, so I grabbed my camera and took a few shots.
It is times like these that I wish could last forever. Peacefully existing forever in my memory.
I know this isn't a very Easter-y picture, but it depicts what you get the day before Easter in Colorado. Spring is just around the corner here and you can tell by the snow, as spring approaches those light wispy flakes of winter turn into heavy wet fluffy flakes.
Anyways, there is something renewing about a fresh snow puting a blanket on everything, like making all things new again.
He is Risen! Happy Easter!
This Valentine post goes out to all of our family, wishing you and the one you love a very Happy Valentines Day and many more to come.
I was invited to enter one of my pictures into a photo contest on Flickr. I was kind of excited since this is the first time I have entered a online photo contest. You can see my picture above and although I didn't win anything other than the notariety in the Flickr community, I am proud none the less.
I was going through some pictures from last year and ran across this one of our dog Max. Max is an interesting little doggie, part Chihuahua part Corgi. I did some post processing on this picture in Adobe Lightroom to give the photo a kind of illustrative quality.
The kids had a chance to see a bunch of clowns that were walking up and down the street during the parade. I cant remember this 'clown's' name but it was one of the only in focus pictures I got.
This was taken at the Festival of Light Parade in downtown Colorado Springs. There were about 30 floats and a dozen High School marching bands from around the city. We took the whole family and bundled up in warm coats and brought along a Thermos of soup and one with hot cocoa. I liked the way this photo turned out, because I had to move my camera with the action in order to get a in focus shot, but with this and several others the blurred background adds t the motion of the parade. This one of the last photo shoots that I had with my Olympus E-500 before it got stolen.
Inspired by her recently acquired monkey, Livvy wanted to climb the tree in the front yard. She was very happy to be up high in a tree.
They have this neat little icon smiley face that changes as you look at different parts of the site, as seen here:

As I kept using the site more that little guy, lets call him Shotty, began to remind me of something else i had seen the other day, but couldn't put my finger on it until today.
As I was in my garage refinishing a dresser for my wife's upcoming birthday I glanced over at the sundry of food we have on our pantry shelves and spotted Maruchan Man gazing back at me...and that is when it hit me...Noodles are taking over the world!
Not really...but you knew that.
Here is a picture of Maruchan Man:

Freaky huh?
Maybe Shotty is a long lost nephew?
