We have a plan — everyone has a plan, right?? Our plan is to take the Casita out camping at least once a month.

For November’s trip, we went to South Shores on Lake Bastrop.

The Little Casita goes camping

November 17th, 2008 · 4 Comments


Dan and I finally got to take the Casita out to try all her features out. We went to South Shores on Lake Bastrop which is only about 45 minutes from Austin. We had a BLAST.
 
editing to include:
Les is correct — that is morning mist rising up off the water.

it was in the upper 30’s, lower 40’s when we got up on Sunday morning … the birds in the pics are Coots.

The park is run by the Lower Colorado River Authority and is smaller than most state or national parks — it had 60 slots for camping… it was not full when we got there early Saturday morning but was full by the afternoon. We really liked all the trees and brush between each of the campsites. It gave each of the campsites a feeling of privacy.

The cat was comfortable and did not complain and the dog, Maxi was in seventh heaven!  She really had a great time.  Plenty of hikes, people and wildlife — what could be better??

Being LAZY!

October 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Okay — I knew that sorting, editing and picking my Ren Fair pics from Opening weekend was going to be hard …that is why I kept putting it OFF! But I have finally done it — I decided to be VERY lazy!!

Created a Photo website using Shutterfly. These should be easier to see than sending the links to the folders.

Summer Trip - Conneticut

July 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Hi you guys -

I am having fun on my vacation to the Beautiful North country! Their flowers up here are beautiful! The Day Lillies are especially wonderful …Picture #2 is a Passion Flower. The #3 picture is an object test shot. It was just sitting on the kitchen table when I pulled my camera out. Thought it turned out Interesting! #4 is of Boston Harbor and although it is overexposed loved how this made the chain and posts stand out. #5 is a bridge in Boston Harbor … just thought it was cool!

Recent Photoshop project - Angel’s Song

June 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

So I have been taking a lot of time and focus to help me learn Photoshop. This project is the result of many days work. I took over 50 shots to get the ones I needed and then came the hard part - taking what I had learned about Photoshop and applying that.

This is the result.
