Oatmeal and Sliced Strawberries

Needless to say, oatmeal is not my favorite thing to eat. I'm a Malt-O-Meal girl myself. However, I do like strawberries. They always make things look edible, even it is oatmeal. :)

Lifehouse Everything Skit as seen on GodTube

This video is amazing. I saw it on a friend's site yesterday and it made me cry. The skit dramatizes what really goes on everyday in our lives and it is so awesome to see such a dramatization and remember how wonderful God is to us. He really is fighting for us every step of the way but there are just so many distractions in our lives. We easily go astray yet he is constantly beckoning us back, ready to welcome us no matter what we've done.

A Fine Pair

JELL-O!

When it comes to Jell-O I always think of Bill Cosby and those old Jell-O commercials he used to do. Ah, The Cosby Show. One of the greatest shows ever. TV isn't the same these days. A lot of fluff out there...course, what do I know since we no longer own a TV -- haven't had one for months. I miss it sometimes but Jon's crazy addicted. He'll watch for hours.

Gorgeous flower bowls provided by Raylene Ramos. Way to go Raylene! You rock! Thanks for being so accommodating. You've got a ton of great stuff and I appreciate it so much!!!

Parfait

A perk to shooting food? Eating it afterward. And let me tell you, it was good. Real good. Antioxidant good.

Lemon Zest Custard with Blueberries

A little bit of lemon zest goes a long way. The zest was such a treat, permeating the custard with the taste of lemon. And to think I always threw the peel away before. What a waste! I'm going to incorporate lemon zest into my cooking from now on. What a delight a little bit of lemon peel can be.

Pancakes, The Quintessential American Breakfast...besides eggs

Hotcakes, flapjacks, griddlecakes, battercakes, johnnycakes...

Special thanks to Raylene for the awesome glass pitcher.

Sushi

Unlike many of my friends I'm not a fan of sushi, but these plates demanded sushi. And if a plate tells me it wants sushi then sushi it gets. It's interesting to note, though, that as I was shooting these little "delicacies" they actually started to look quite enticing. But I resisted the urge to pop them in my mouth because
1) The wraps taste fishy and I am not about fishy food,
2) I don't like the taste of the wraps, and
3) The seaweed wraps taste like fish!!

Begin Dream Sequence...

Ever get the feeling that someone's....watching you...?

Emily!

Em on her childhood swing. At least I think it's her childhood swing. It was in her backyard...so I just assumed...anyway, her mother likes this one. Or maybe it was the other swing pic...Hm. Clearly, I don't know what's going on.

Oh. LOVE those eyes. Killer stare. Absolutely killer.

These pics are long overdue on posting. I took these in May. Then got busy. Whew! This was the first shoot where I shot nearly all RAW files. And let me tell ya, RAW really is all it's cracked up to be. Much easier to work with and the pics look soooo much better as far as file quality, etc.

Plane Pics Round 2

A couple posts back, I'd posted a pic of an airplane wing. Looks like it might turn into a series. Airplane wings love me. I always get seated near them. But, then again, I always get window seats, too, so I guess that's pretty lucky. I took a few more while on a plane bound for Hawaii last week. Good times. Really good times. I didn't want to come back.
But here I am...
Pics of Kaua'i will be posted one of these days. I have a whole butt load of 'em.

Over (Oahu?)

More Oahu?

The Hills are Alive (more CO pics)

Reminds me of The Sound of Music. I can hear Julie Andrews belting out her tunes right now.

Jon and his Colorado buddies, and Max-ie!

The crew on a lovely hike through lovely trees with lovely gear.
