A Caution...

...to those who do not believe that beauty is fleeting...

(Nikon D70, 50mm, f22, 1/80 sec, ISO 800)

I saw this abandoned Sunflower along side the road today, on my way to my final day of EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch) training. It looked beautiful this morning, like it had just been picked. Not having enough time to stop right then, I prayed that it would still be there on my return journey and sure enough, nine hours later, there it was. When I got close to it, however, I could see the day's wear and tear on it. Beauty is fleeting...enjoy it while it lasts.

Always Use Caution during water activites

Do you think he's got enough floaties?

Totally lame picture. I know. Baby was not cooperating during photoshoot, and I didn't get a second chance. Forgive me. What I had really hoped to capture was the neighbor kid jumping in the pool, (throwing caution to the wind!) but he was too chicken. Go figure...

CC (and any advice on how to get kids to cooperate would be appreciated!)

Crash and Burn

You better use caution while wake boarding or...................

You may end up like this.

Sorry this is two pictures, but I couldn't get my story board action to work on it. 

It's great to be back!!! Now that the kids are back on school, I hope to become more regular again.

CAUTION....Beware of ..

 

The family dog hanging out in the bathtub! Our crazy dog loves to lay in the bathtub, we have to drag him out when we want to shower. I am asking for help on this picture, Every picture I took, the bathtub showed up soo white, and you could not tell he was in the bathtub, I tried using no flash, and higher ISO but the picture was to dark and blurry, then I tried different shutter speeds with and without flash.., I kept getting the same result, ultra white tub and no contrast. The highest ISO setting on my camera is 1600, so any suggestion on how to get a good tub picture close up? I had to do some editing so you can actually see that he is in the tub. I am open to all help here! Thanks.

Caution "Cactus" on sidewalk

Keep Away from Panda

Let the boys be warned: in 15 years and 2 days this girl will be breaking hearts left and right. ;)

I had a fun photo session this evening... more on my photography blog later if you're interested.

Caution! Monkey!

I'm baaaaaaaack (creepy little kid voice)
Sorry, this summer has been nuts (especially now that we've been trying to jam everything we've wanted to do into the last few days!) We went to the Zoo and this little nugget was staring me down.... we were gonna fight, but I decided to exploit him on this challenge instead.

CAUTION, not all monkey's are Curious George... some are Leering Leo's. Back off my grill, Leo!

Caution: Watch your step!

This one was difficult for me. The shot I really wanted didn't turn out so . . .here it is, my living room floor and all of my sons toys on it.

caution...this could end bad.

caught him drinking yogurt with a straw...chunky yogurt too. uncle josh would be proud, more so if he had drank it through the nose! lol.

Caution: Toddler living here

Normally I would laugh about this on its own, but not today. My Wednesday has a Monday complex. I woke up this morning to find my daughter's poopy diaper in the crib next to her, with most of its contents smeared on Donald Duck. Later, while I was preparing her lunch, I found her sitting on the floor in the doorway to the pantry, with half a box of baking soda around her. So I put her in her high chair while I finished making lunch. Then I ate mine, then I got the camera, and finally the vacuum cleaner. I took pictures in the hope that maybe later I'll laugh about it. (And I have no doubt that I will. Later.) But here's the bigger problem: things happen in threes, right? So...poopy diaper, baking soda, what's next? She'll probably yank on the cat's tail while I'm not paying attention and get her dues from him. Oh yes, we're babysitting a cat for a month. My daughter likes to pull his ears and tail.
