365 Project – 114: Daddy daughter cartwheels…and using the WordPress gallery circle feature (April 24, 2013)

Here’s a sequence of three pics trying this new wordpress gallery “circle” feature for the first time…it looks kind’ve cool! I just realized when you use the gallery feature, the camera properties are listed when you click on each photo, which I appreciate!

So, this is my husband “trying” to cartwheel with my daughter. LOL Actually, he did a decent job! Grownups: if you haven’t cartwheeled in awhile, you should try it. It’s fun but, harder than it looks!

365 Project – 46: Kealakekua Bay – Big Island, Hawaii (February 15, 2013)

It’s Friday and no Jumble because I’m travelling. I’m still going through umpteen photos from a previous trip to the Big Island. Here’s another taken during a snorkel trip to Kealakekua Bay Hawaii.  When my daughter wanted a break from snorkeling she used this boogie board with a built-in underwater viewer.  Brilliant!  Don’t you just want to dive in?  Awww…it was heaven!

365 Project – 45: Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay – Big Island, Hawaii (February 14, 2013)

No hearts, no candles, no chocolates and no kanoodling couples. No Valentine-y pic  but, here’s a photo using my daughter’s Nikon Coolpix waterproof point and shoot, which is kind’ve sweet.  This was taken on our last snorkeling trip on the Big Island. Not bad for a basic waterproof camera. Oh, and, Happy Valentine’s Day!

p.s. if you want to see some amazing underwater photos, check out this link with pics posted on the FairWind charter company,whom we used for our snorkeling trip. They’re awesome!

365 Project – 332: Capturing a child’s literary milestone (November 27, 2012)

Shutter Speed: 1/50, Aperture: F/3.5, ISO: 800, converted to B&W in Lightroom

I love this photo because it captures the first year Nora really cared about reading her birthday cards and she read with such ease. I also like the focal point placed on the words from her daddy. It’s a birthday perspective I’ve never tried before which I think tells a sweet story about an important childhood milestone.

365 Project – 331: Norita celebrated the big “7″ at Disneyland :) (November 26, 2012)

Shutter Speed: 1/250, Aperture: F/3.2 ISO: 400

At the “happiest place on earth”, it was just a bit happier when Norita was greeted with extra smiles, waves and “Happy Birthday Nora” wishes all day.  If you’re there for your birthday, ask for the magical birthday button.  It made our birthday girl feel extra special!
