Photos from the trip to Sierras

I finally got around sorting and posting my pictures (on Picasa) from the trip we took two weeks ago.
You can find them HERE.

A known fact: for really good landscape photos, one has to be ready to sacrifice morning hours of sleep 
and go the distance - literally - to get them.

About Blake

He is one happy baby-boy in our friends family, and a wonderful model. Isn't he a sweetie?

I played with Winding Down by Heather T, available at Mscraps.

Memories of Paris

Plan is to go back and "repeat" my shots with my new Canon camera. I'd prefer Autumn this time. Although places like New Zealand, Thailand, Iceland and Japan are on my "To Go List" as well. :-)

Meanwhile, to help me dream, I made a page with Special Delivery by Joyce Paul, available at Mscraps.

Mscraps blogtrain making a stop here, again!

Hello everybody, so glad you stopped at my blog!! I hope you didn't get lost and came from the Facebook page of talented Pauline (of PaulineM Scraps)!

I'm sure you know the Mscraps is having a Summer party with lots of games, prizes and free goodies, donated by our awesome designers!! Together with Mscraps Creative Team they made this huge collab kit Beach Party.

This is my contribution: a teeny tiny kit.

Have fun with it!!

(my TOU)

Now head over to the blog of our great designer Ruth Melody to pick up the next piece of the collab!

New old layout

I can't believe I forgot to post my page for July Journaling challenge (it was made in June)!!

For those who don't know, tuba has very strong, low pitch sound. Granpda - a musician - deserves, in my opinion, a medal for letting my kiddies play on it and for listening to the sounds they were making... :-)

Beautiful sunrise

I'm trying to limit the number of pictures I post (to only the good ones). I pains me but my albums fill up too quickly. 

Here is  something for start: sun rising over Sierra Nevada Range, the Eastern side, taken in Big Pine, California, with my brand new ultra wide lens (Sigma 8-16mm DC HSM, f/4.5-5.6), yoo-hoo!!

Canon 7D + Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM, 
f.l. 8mm, f/7.1,  s.s. 1/100, ISO 200.
