Day 341 – Snow Family

I’m starting to pull out the holiday decorations. This family usually towers over our village, but since I don’t have that up yet, they are holding court on our pellet stove until the weekend.

Day 340 – UPS Guy

I was out late this afternoon and caught the UPS driver arriving for his afternoon pick-up. As you can see, it’s still raining.

Day 338 – Monday Morning

That’s the name of the filter I used on this shot of Nina.

Day 337 – Last Day in L.A.

It was a good trip to L.A. this weekend. Dad is looking good, he is genuinely smiling, and he has put on some weight. He’s still pretty weak and he’s got a lot of physical therapy in his future, but I’m feeling optimistic. They got him out of bed and into an ortho-chair today which meant we could go outside for some fresh air and Dad could visit with Ta-Shi!

Dad, Mom and Ta-Shi

Day 334 – 50mm Maya

A very shallow depth of field photo of Maya tonight (shot under lamplight at f/1.8, 1/250s, ISO 1600). It was a very busy day at work, and this evening we had a late dinner out with family. I came home to do some laundry and pack for my trip to L.A. tomorrow afternoon so I can spend a few days with my dad, who is recovering from another surgery. I’m waiting for the load to finish drying and then I’ll be stumbling off to bed.

Day 332 – Antique Opera Glasses

Brad’s Grandfather owned these and we inherited them after his passing. They are in remarkably good shape, though I think I’d like to get them professionally cleaned. We also have another pair of Lemaire Fabt opera glasses, though not with mother of pearl as these are.
