She carried this umbrella around all day, inside and out.

Charlie outside.

More candy.

Candy!

This is the back and white version. I like the color one more.

I took this one while the younger one was sleeping.

Same idea again.

I tried to capture the absolute chaos of the girls painting. I think it worked. They are never still!!!

Old one painting. I used a slower shutter speed to capture the movement.

The older girl took this one (I may have helped just a bit). We were able to see the shot using live view. I did not want the older one to move the tripod. I like this one.

I took this when the girls were taking a painting break. I let them push the shutter release remote.

She made this. It lasted a few hours and then there were thousands of beads all over the floor.

Charlie and Cherva playing on the swings.

Cherva.

This had to come outside. It was interesting. Charlie likes this doll a lot right now.

Leaf.

Cherva on the deck playing in the (melting) snow.

I was bored...

Charlie sharpening a pensil.

One of my favorite corals taken with my new Sigma 50mm macro.

Acanthastrea with sweeper tentacles out. These guys eat... a lot!

More of the same.

Zoanthids with my new lights. The colors are much nicer now.

This is the surrogate host of my clownfish. It's splitting and forming new mushrooms.

Some sort of soft coral polyp that the pistol shrimp likes to move all over the tank.

Lobophyllia macro shot. These are my first macro shots with the Sony Alpha A300.

Not really sure what they were doing, but I think that it was bad. This was my breakfast!!

I took these from the passenger side of our car. The light was really nice for portraits.

These were taken in my front window with natural light.

Portrait of Cherva playing with a tape recorder.

I took these two while messing with the kit lens. I like this picture because it captures movement.

Super duper macro.
I was trying to make this look like a doorway or gate or something. I am not sure it worked.

Our railing. You can see show blowing around. It was soooooo cold.

Teeth.

I took my camera out in the snow yesterday. It was super cold, but I wanted to take some winter shots.

This is a macro shot of a lamp.

Cherva posing in front of tank.

So cute!

Cherva reading the paper.
