XI Week 50
Doing the last 3 posts of the year on the last week of 2020. First party of the year at King's Park in Perth. What a party, what a view!.
As I mentioned last week, my friend Joe hooked me up with some Cactus V4's for my birthday, and after a loooooong week of work I finally got the chance to play with them a little bit! And I thought that for my first photo with them I should honor Joe by flat out copying his Week 1 photo. ( www.flickr.com/photos/32600254@N05/4294818002/in/set-7215... ) Haha okay, so really, a lot of my intention in reproducing Joe's photograph was to see if I could figure out how to use the V4's and get proper lighting and use the right techniques and so on. I knew that if I could get it close to Joe's, then maybe I was on the right track. It was hard at first because I don't have all the equipment that Joe has, and I had nice cold beer staring me in the face, but after a little bit ingenuity, and will power not to drink during the middle of the day, I was able to get a decent setup. Albeit fairly ghetto, it worked. I am definitely stoked to have the V4's now though, so thanks Joe, this one's for you.

Spending the week in St Louis with my son and his high school engineering team at the National FIRST Robotic finals, opened the door for some fun shooting opportunities.
Luckily, for me the security guard for the railroad yard was a bit non-existant. The convenient public park had a not-so-photogenic view of a barge loading dock and many draping power lines.
In case you're putting two and two together, I'm admitting nothing. Other than the fact that I may have wandered to a better viewpoint along the river, while waiting for blue hour. :)
This is a five image panoramic, shot at ISO 200, f/8, for 8 seconds each.

Watauga Presbyterian Church, founded as Willow Springs Cumberland Prebyterian Church in the 1850s and reorganized in 1867, then renamed Watauga Presbyterian Church in 1896.
Outside the frontier church stands an historical marker naming the courageous families who founded the church when there was nothing but acres of prairie land. Along side of it sits the old farm bell donated by descents of the Keating family, one of the first handful of pioneers to settle in Watauga. On Sundays, the iron bell can be heard clanging as the current youngsters at the church take turns pulling and tugging on its handle to remind neighbors that the preacher has arrived.
The spirit of this frontier church has continuously served this community for approximately 130 years. Services are still held at 9 a.m. every Sunday.

It was only inches of snow, but constant snowfall was great to experience that day.
Dad ..... SNOW is COLD #sagewisdom

find me if you DARE:
Trees - it was a toss up between this shot and one of a palm tree crepe garland. The other one was a favorite, visually, but this one? I can still hear the girls giggling. Emotionally, this photo does it for me. This week, I learned that a photo isn't just an image, it's emotion, too.

11th September - 17th September 2011
The holidays often bring up memories of family and friends who are no longer with us. Sadly, another has been added to the list. My Uncle Bob died yesterday after a long illness. My thoughts are with my cousins who lost their father and my Dad and Uncle Roger who lost their big brother.
Memories. 52 in 2013

Caesar started week 2 of chemo today, his blood work was "perfect" they said, and the tumours on his spleen, liver and small intestines have shrunk! YAY! (there was no change in the size of tumours on his lymph nodes) His doctor was quite pleased (as are we) but there is still some concern with his weight. At his healthiest he was 89lbs, today he is 68lbs - he has dropped almost 10lbs since he was in ICU a week ago. They're not sure if his intestines aren't absorbing the food because of the cancer but we will know more our next visit if he continues to lose weight. He is ravenous right now so will be gradually getting him back on his regular food and hopefully that (plus the prednisone) will help him put some pounds on this week. He doesn't go back until Dec 6 because neither Rick or I can get the time off work to drive him to the clinic (its an hour away), hopefully those few extra days without chemo won't set him back too much. I likely won't update much before then, unless something drastic happens. Thanks to everyone for your well wishes, they're helping! :)

Week 28-29. Getting closer and closer every day. Time flies by so fast. It's a matter of eighty-something days until the little guy gets here, WOW.
These pictures were taken last week at 28 weeks. There was a special ocassion at work so she wanted to dress nicely without maternity clothes and managed to get into this black dress, which is kind of tight under normal circumstances. I tought she looked amazingly beautiful and took these pictures before we went to work.
From the back she does not look pregnant at all, from the side it is pretty obvious. She has only gained 17 pounds (all belly), the little guys is growing perfectly well, moves around a lot and we can't wait for him to be home with us. But we have to be patient, he has to stay in the oven a little longer, we want him well-done and healthy when he joins the family.
Can't get over how cute she looks ;-)
Sorry for the post and run.
Week 30 - 29 July - 5 August 2015
More fun with double exposures. Was thinking of posting stuff from Melbourne Open House this year, but that's on another album.
Anyway, this late posting is another of the few "Double Exposure" shots I've been playing with. More next week.
Week: 33
Circumference: 41.5" - either measuring before dinner makes a difference or baby has shifted a bit.
Belly Button: Technically still there. If I lean back it is basically flush with the rest of my belly.
Enjoying: Slower days this week since the mere mention of snow keeps Seattlites at home. Knowing baby could realistically be here in less than a month. Naps. Mostly because they give the muscles above my belly a break from gravity.
Feeling: Tired more easily. A bit more back pain than usual this week. Denser.
Movement: Very definite awake times. More subdued as space gets tight but lots of elbows and knees and such to watch and feel.
Sleep: Tried staying up later and it definitely helped me sleep through the night (with a couple potty breaks, of course). This means I get up later, too. Which, honestly, is my preference in the winter anyway.
Food: Drinking lots of water and I want it COLD. Some days I'm really hungry others I'm not. Cutting back on portion sizes and increasing the amount of times I eat. Cooked at home a lot this week. Even made some food for the freezer for after the baby.
Anticipating: Seeing friends & family at the baby shower this weekend.
Estas dos cartas ya están listas para ser enviadas. Solo falta meterlas en sus sobres y echarlas al correo. Saldrán bien pronto y espero que a sus destinatarias les gusten <3.
¿Alguno de vosotros está participando en el 52 weeks of mail? Si la respuesta es afirmativa, yo aún sigo buscando a gente para intercambiar correspondencia... así que si os interesa, dadme un toque por aquí ♥
Week 15 - Food porn (Local dish)
Almost every restaurant in The Hill claim to have invented Toasted Ravioli
Having looked forward so much to this SOOC week I ended up with only a few hours yesterday to take my shot. I was lucky enough in the end to have several shots from which to choose. I finally returned to this one - a land/seascape shot of the area where I live.
Basically, this is the view (weather dependent, of course) that greets me on the train home from work each evening. On the right is Killiney beach which looks out over Killiney Bay - the adopted home of a small pod of 3 dolphins. Occasionally I spot the dolphins from the train as they frolic about in the bay. On the left in the distance is Bray Head in the shadow of which is the town of Bray where I live. To the right of this you can see the Little Sugarloaf and Big Sugarloaf mountains. These are the gateway to the Wicklow Mountains - one of the most scenic areas in Ireland.
From the several shots on my short list, I chose this one because it is absolutely SOOC with no need of any pre- or post editing as the camera really did capture what I was seeing at the time with the naked eye and I believe that no software or processing could improve on this view that I am privileged to have on my doorstep.
