18/365 - Training

I was in training today at the conference in the Coronado Springs Resort @ Disney.
The instructor was a little dry at first, but quickly warmed up and I have learned tons of stuff about e-learning games.
I am bursting full of ideas I will never get to implement at work! Figures!

17/365 - First Airplane Ride

Disney Time!!!! We finally boarded the plane Thursday and took off for Disney World in Florida! The kids are very excited because this will be their first time in an airplane and their first time to Disney!

They had a blast looking out the windows of the plane and seeing the ground far below them...

16/365 - Wheel of Lights

I took this one at a birthday party yesterday. I was experimenting with long exposure times while moving the camera on the lights in the arcade and came up with this...

15/356 - Golden Sky

Ok, I know I've been bad about posting, but here is one. I need to post the others I have taken tonight or tomorrow.
I got lucky on this one and pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant looked up and said, "WOW!, there's my pic!"

14/365 - Caribbean Shrine

This is my Caribbean shrine. :-)
One of the big items on my life list is getting my captain's license and then sailing in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

13/365 - GO AWAY!

This is a door hanger from our 7 Habits course at work. I want to hang it on my office door all the time...
By the way I thought Kerrie might be able to use this after seeing this article in her blog.

12/365 - Finally! I get to post! - Tools of the Trade

I have been bad this weekend about posting, but really good about accomplishing some projects that had kept hanging on and seeming like they would never end. This is a sampling of the tools I use at work. I like the creative side of my job and have vowed that this is the year I will put my creative skills to even greater use.

11/365 - Cobbled Together Creative CloseUp

Today I brought my sons' Samsung Digimax U-CA505 point and shoot to work to play with. Jack's 365 Blog article inspired me to be creative and so looking around the office I found an old lens element from a zoom lens. It looked like it would fit the Samsung if I held it over the lens, and it was. Now, what to photograph? Ah, that coke machine token with the eagle embossed on it would work great!

I used the maximum telephoto setting of 3x and manually focused by moving the camera closer and this is what I came up with.
Pat took a pic of me taking a pic using this for his 365 blog. Here's some I cropped down so you could see the technique...

10/365 - Squirrel in Tree

Took this squirrely shot in my yard, before the little guy scampered away.

9/365 - Ducks by the lake

Saw these guys hanging out by the lake on the way home today, and decided this was my pic of the day...

8/365 - Driving Past

Here's one I took on the way home yesterday, but did not get a chance to put it up. I've been swamped with design work and fixing our SUV.

7/365 - Misty Morning and "Punishment"

I took this photo on the way to work this morning. I've been wanting to take some more photos of Sleepy Hollow Farm on good foggy days or when the steam is rising off the lake, but always tell myself I'm running late and don't have time to stop. But since I started doing the 365 I am not going to do that anymore.
I know I was bad this weekend and only posted on one of the days, so I "punished" myself by staying a little longer and looking for more shots. :-)
Hope you like them.

6/365 - Why the sad face, Jonah?

You would think he would look happier!
Actually, he and his brothers were. I took them out to the YMCA fields, while Momma was working and we flew the glider for a couple of hours and shot some hoops.
I really love my boys, and I wish I didn't have to work and could be with them all week.

5/365 - This makes the decision easy!

More and more to do and not enough time! Definitely time to go to the beach!
