Dragon*Con

Dragon*Con comes just once a year. You can read about it here. Last year there was 52,000 participants. Yes, that is a ton of people coming into our city. Dragon*Con begins with a parade through downtown Atlanta which featured thousands of costumed participants. This is the first time went to check out the parade which was pretty awesome. Of course my kids were in costume but boy, it was SO hot!!!

Close-Up Portraiture / August Monthly Challenge (Blog Circle)

This topic was bad timing as the next lens I really want to get is a macro lens. But I think I did okay with my 50mm. I kept wanting to get closer but was really limited by my lens. Everyone in our circle should post their August "Close-Up Portraiture" postings by September 1. So come back on September 1 and check out Mary's blog and keep clicking till you make it all the way around!

Just to prove I do take pics of things other than my kids...

ANCS Week 4 & 5 pictures

Here are some pictures that were posted on Millie's classroom blog from her week 4 & 5.

New toys

I'm just playing around with some new "toys" I bought. Thank goodness the sun and our neighbor’s front yard are free :-) It is amazing how serious he gets when I just tell him I am "playing with my settings." Geez! AH, there he is! Lashes for days...
