Louvre Inside Out

From the upper story window looking out of the Louvre - I loved this window - the Louvre was closing and Jacquie and I were racing around - then we took a moment to breath before finding the stairs - and I saw this window.

Assisi, Italy - 2

In this shot Coco has become aware I am following her and turns to look at me - her adventure at an end as Mom is following too closely.

Assisi, Italy

I cannot decide if I like this better as Coco looks forward, she explores an alley in Assisi and was unaware at this moment I was following her.

Sunflowers

Fleurs de Provence, France 2006

The day was sundrenched and we were tired, hot and hungry. As we drove along a secondary road I asked Marco to stop the car and I hopped a fence to a field of Sunflowers and shot 50 shots quickly as they all awaited me in the car. It was a wonderful moment and some of my favorite sunflower shots were from those 20 minutes by the side of the road, under pressure while my family awaited me.

Weekends



A good weekend - two soccer games on Sat and one tomorrow - a beautiful day with a light breeze softly blowing - even in the sun no longer the oppresive heat of July/August.

Photo of the day - action shot soccer - taken on action setting, Canon Rebel XT 75-300 mm lense.

Cool Soccer Evenings

To curl your hair attach foam curlers and sleep uncomfortably for 10 hours, remover curlers and have wacky curls for half the day before they fall out - remember that - that is what my Coco did last night - she had the cutest hair at 8 am but probably all gone by noon - definately gone by 1 pm pick up - alas when ya got straight hair that is what you have - even if you desire your sisters curly hair...it does not happen.
