My daughter is confident, smart and beautiful. Even though she's a full-fledged teenager, and difficult to deal with at times, she's my rock star. Yesterday, while talking to two friends as she waited to be picked up from school, a woman in a car zipped through the parking lot and her car struck the girl standing right next to my daughter. The girl was taken away in an ambulance. Her leg was broken in 6 places, but thankfully the injuries weren't worse. It shook up my daughter. Images of seeing the car, her hurt friend, and the fear/guilt that comes with such a close call and thoughts of "that could have been me" made last night tough. Extra hugs and kisses from me yesterday and today, along with a feelings ranging from "blessed" to "helplessness". Oh, to be a parent. Here she is as she was just about to dash off to the end-of-season Cheerleading banquet.

Took this photo while out walking the dog this afternoon.
My wife and I got into a spirited disagreement as to whether this is a Chinese restaurant or not. Her position was that it's a ramen shop, which it clearly is. My argument was that since every item on the menu is of Chinese origin, it's the kind of Chinese restaurant called Chuka ryori. No, she said, Chuka ryori is what we call all Chinese restaurants, but not -- definitely not -- ramen shops. We agreed to disagree.
When we got home I ran to the internet and found that I was right. Chuka ryori is Chinese food altered to suit Japanese tastes. Foods typically served at a Chuka ryori restaurant included ramen, gyoza, shumai and harumaki (those final three are Japanese versions of Chinese dumplings.) The menu at this restaurant features a variety of ramen, gyoza and shumai.
It's really quite funny how often I know more about Japan and its culture than native-born Japanese people do.
I am finally done with this set! After painful color problems and computer not liking me it is finally done! I am actually pretty happy about a few of these photos! Good location but still uber sunny so harsh harsh shadows :’(
These two girls booth go to my school but they are two years older and they were such a joy to shoot! Like most shoots I couldn’t stop laughing. I went back to the spot where I had to rock climb but to a couple different spots! It got pretty jank at some points, but hey if it isn’t jank it isn’t fun! They booth are really pretty and so easy to take photographs off! Very natural in front of the camera! I am hoping to take photos of older teenagers in the future so if your interested hmu ;););)

I wasn’t as fascinated with roses as I am now! I did much pruning during January and am now enjoying the fruits of my labor. So many beautiful blooms on my property.

Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you.
-Michael Jackson
