Annual Olympic Day May 21, 2009

A sweet baby I photographed at our "Sports day".





...... So cute, I like her blue eyes!

What's been happening recently....

Olympic Day was last Thursday. We were out in the park running races and talking to other fellow participants and friends and trying to stay out of the sun. :-)

There were 100 yd, 200 yd, and 50 yd. dashes and hurdles. And the Football Throw, Soccer Kick, and the last and most popular contests: Jump-Rope and Hoola-Hoop races. By 3:30 pm, I was ready to come home to the air conditioned house, and a cool shower!

Then, we left again at 6 pm for our homeschool band concerts. I played "This is My Father's World" on the piano and daddy played along on trumpet. A Father/Daughter duet :-) A few of the same people who we saw at Olympic day earlier were also at the concert that night. A long, busy day for sure! Mommy said I was the unofficial "staff photographer" for Olympic Day! :-)

It was a satisfactory, fun, day for our family!

A cute set of siblings :-)

I had a photography and handmade card booth at the Homeschool Convention this year.

My booth was in the "Student Entrepeneurs"section. I had fun meeting new people (and also seeing old friends) and sold a few photography cards.

New handmade cards I have been making. If you are interested in buying one, they are $3 each. (includes envelope. Plus the inside is left blank for your message)

I sell them at a Farmer's Market during the summer. I enjoy making creative things. These cards were made during one of my recent "spurts" of creativity. :-) :-)



Neat idea for cards from another blog.

My new Flickr site!

I just started my own Flickr account. :-) It is a place where you can upload your photos for friends to see and comment on.... So for more photos, go there!
I thought it would be a neat opportunity to get more feedback on my photographs.
Enjoy the pictures below! :-)


Reading some of my 30 library books. Just picked them all up last Wednesday.

The pleasures of reading books on a comfy chair with a friend. (Or a nice long, interesting book with some Andes mints to keep you company. :-) (Of course only after all your jobs around the house, animal chores, school and music practice are done.)
