Rebel With A Cause

October 19, 2011

I have been wanting a DSLR (digital, single lens reflex) camera for quite sometime. And then my boys signed up for baseball, and the best picture I could get from the stands with my point and shoot was one like this, Which is fine if you have no desire to see your kid’s face. Or [...]

The Street and The Sky

September 23, 2011

While visiting Florida over the summer, we drove down this street. I don’t know the name of the street, but for obvious reasons, I call it ‘Easy Street’ in my head. ‘Easy Street’ is without doubt the most beautiful street I have ever seen.

We went to Busch Gardens yesterday (Many thanks to the Busch bunch for offering free admission to military service members and their families.
