Twick or Tweet!
These two little boys were very excited! Ben was of course a race car driver, and Jake was a bowling player (everything is all about bowling for him). They worked hard at the trick or treating, and we had to cut them off after an hour. Now what is Mommy going to do with all that candy?

Fairy Princess
Eliza had a blast trick-or-treating. But I guess Mommy and Daddy will have to eat most of her candy. Too bad!

Mom and Dad
My Dad has been a little under the weather recently, so I was happy to have the chance to snap some pics when we all got together to celebrate Halloween. I'm so glad they remain active, even taking care of their 3 year old twin great-grandsons at least once a week. Keeps us all young!

Wowee--HDR
This is my first attempt at HDR. This was handheld because I didn't have time to set up the tripod (I'm babysitting 3 sleeping children and ran outside for a minute, well, maybe 3 minutes). I can't wait to try some other shots. I am using Photomatix on a free trial, but I may just have to buy it cause this looks like it is going to be fun.

A Closer View
OK, here is a quick and dirty pic taken with my new toy, a 105mm macro lens. I only had about 10 minutes to play with it today. I'm used to a zoom lens, so working with a fixed one is different. Gotta figure out my DOF, too. But I think it's going to be really cool.

Hospital Blues
My dad has been in the hospital for a few days. It's an exhausting place to be, both for the patient and the family members. Hopefully, he will get to come home soon, so we can all get some rest.

Salt and Pepper, Anyone?
Way back in another life, I collected little knick knacks like these bird salt and pepper shakers. Now I am trying to simplify, so these are going up on eBay, with the proceeds going to my sponsored boy in Nicaragua.
