Palm Springs Sun Up

We went to Aunt Terry's La Quinta house. This is a view from out of the awesome timeshare we stayed in Palm Springs. I definitely know when I am someplace away from home when you have view of the mountains. Now the ocean that is a different story.

This is a shot of our living room. We have a great spot that we are quickly growing out of.

This great little find in Long Beach has some great food and $4 dollar corking. Don't think you can just walk up and get a table though reservations only for there 6 tables. Great Food and it was nice to hang out with Mary and Lou.

I feel the same way

My family came to visit me at work. I was very happy but sometimes but Lou's face could be transplanted to mine and I would make since.

Louis is very happy to hang out and yawn, spit up, and.... on willing friends.

Tug

I was on a bike ride and stopped and almost fell over. Not because of the photo in front of me (as it should be) but because I had new cycling shoes on and the cleats are in a different spot then my previous shoes. I was glad the tug was going slowly and I was able to capture this moment.

This condo complex in Long Beach has a neon sign that is seen from different points in Long Beach. It was a guiding light home for Lou and I after hanging out.

This is my first entry into the Flickr Group Roulette. I love the concept. Finding things to shoot in a project 365 can be challenging. I love being able to contributeor not based on the topic. I think this is going to help my photography even more.

Serious Drink

As many of our family and friends have seen our little man takes his bottle very serious. I mean he will growl at you if it is taken away. In the past few days it has gotten even more serious because his new bottle is 1/2 his size.

Black and White Snuggly Bear

I chose this photo for two reason. One post editing to Black and White and the only photos I took that day. I think I like the Black and White photo better.

Mission Inn Course

It is hard to complain when you walk out of your room and have views like this. Back home today from a great weekend.

Autumn

I really like still life set ups. I am sure if i made a mess creating a still ife Mary would have my head. So I always look for a good expression of the season. I bumped the exposure to get the white blend better I am happy with this shot.

Reflective Duck

This duck was hanging out in the pond at the Westin Mission HIlls we spent the weekend at my In laws time share. It was very relxing and I was able to focus much needed attention to my family and photos.

Grab Hook

Lately the daily photo has been going like this. I have an idea for a shot and then two days later I take it. So here is a paper weight on my desk. I guess when your in the export industry a Grab hook is a logical paperweight. This hook can hold 7100#'s.

Prayer

When I am writing this today I am having troubles making words into sentences. So here they are:

Dispair
Future
Why?
Hope

Victory Dance

The CRUSHERS take the series. Boy did they ever. Coming from 4th place they had to beat the first and second place team in one night. During the first game I was walking past the team that was waiting for the Championship Game and the team said "Those Aren't the same Crushers we played!!!" What a great evening for softball.

Matt's is growing a moustache this month for charity one week in and we are starting to see the 5 o'clock shadow. It will be great to see how the stache fills out. Good Luck Buddy!!!

Selak's Home

Selak's Home, originally uploaded by dalviaw.

We went to our friends Bill and Isabelle Selak's house today for a house warming. The house is amazing, a great space. All over the house you can see touches of each of them. Bill's love for music, Isabelle's love for books with an alphabetical library that is in two rooms!!!! I spanned this while talking with friends. One of the cool nooks of the house. I desaturated the wall color to add emphasis to the guitar.

I like the angle I chose for this photo. After this image and others in the last few days, I had changed my focus to closest point. I have some really interesting focuses lately. I am glad I found my change in the camera I was ready to take it in to be serviced.

Fruit of the Gods

A typical Thursday night is to meet up with friends and enjoy the fermented fruit. I really enjoy getting a new perspective for Friday and preparing for the weekend. Good Times!!

Gold Digger

This little gold digger use to be in my parents room. My Dad bought it in a Gold Rush town outside of Lake Tahoe. I am sure one day I will take Louis places he won't fully be able to enjoy and remember until much older. He might have the same feeling as me one day to take his child to the places his parents took him.

Hanging Dragon

This little dragon fly greeted me while I walked into work it is great fun to have a camera in my bag and take 5 minutes to focus on something other then work. Unexpected and awesome.
