Summer

We love summer around here.  My daughter has been in swimming lessons the last week and a half, and I'm convinced she's half fish.  She LIVES for swimming.

Playing with Macro :: Orange County Photographer

My garden has been in full bloom, and just the other day I noticed that the day lillies I transplanted from my mom's garden in Utah last fall are finally beginning to bloom.  So I broke out my macro lens and had a bit of fun today.  I try to make each shoot a learning experience, and I definitely learned to be more careful with my camera settings.  I had my shutter speed set pretty fast, because I was worried about the breeze affecting my shots, but I think it had a negative effect on the quality of the images.  However, I'm still pleased with what I got, and I'll do it better next time.  :)

Rainbow Birthday Party :: Orange County Photographer

Our friends held a double birthday party for their daughters over the weekend.  The theme: RAINBOWS!!  It was so awesome and a lot of fun.
