August 7, 2009.<br /> <br /> These were taken by Gabe and I, from the same backyard as yesterday's photo. We have had a heat wave here in Salem for the past week, and a lot of the flowers and grass have died or became really brown and faded... however, these flowers seemed to have survived, with only a little bit of evidence left from the heat.

These were taken by Gabe and I, from the same backyard as yesterday's photo. We have had a heat wave here in Salem for the past week, and a lot of the flowers and grass have died or became really brown and faded... however, these flowers seemed to have survived, with only a little bit of evidence left from the heat.

  • August 6, 2009.<br /> <br /> Gabe took this photo from someone's backyard, and I really liked his composition. Seems like a classic shot you'd see on a country magazine. I did it in B&W with a soft look, but then I could not decide which one I liked better...
  • August 5, 2009.<br /> <br /> I took this photo while watching Eli and Noah at their swimming lessons. The way these were attached to the fence looked cool and I really liked the bright color blue.
  • August 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> Eli and Noah are having swimming lessons this week at a local pool. Monday was very sunny and warm, Tuesday a little cloudy, but still warm. Here are some kids in Noah's class patiently waiting for their turn to get in and swim with the instructor. Noah is the second one in, with the black shirt on.
  • August 3, 2009.<br /> <br /> Gabe also took this shot today on the way home from Silverton, OR. The sun was setting quickly and we were looking for a good horizon line without any houses, etc.. and we found this one right from the road. I like the lens reflection and decided to keep it. The sun was really bright and tought to shoot.
  • August 2, 2009.<br /> <br /> This is the last night shot from "The Bite" here in Salem. Gabe took this one from the top of the Ferris Wheel (he was one of the lucky people that was stopped right on top ~ just enough to capture this).
  • August 1, 2009.<br /> <br /> And finally another shot of the Ferris Wheel, but from a distance now. Gabe and I had a great time taking this photos. I will be catching up on commenting this weekend. I am sorry that I have not been commenting much lately.
  • July 31, 2009.<br /> <br /> This is a night shot of the Ferris Wheel. It wasn't going this fast, but in this photo, it looks like it was spinning really fast.
  • July 30, 2009.<br /> <br /> Another photo of the same ride, but closer.
  • July 29, 2009.<br /> <br /> Another night shot from one of the rides from The Bite...
  • July 28, 2009.<br /> <br /> "The Bite" is going on this weekend here in Salem, and Gabe and I went over last night to take some night pictures. So, the next few photos will be from last night's photo shoot.
  • July 27, 2009.<br /> <br /> I haven't been able to post daily photos this past week, but I am catching up. I have not taken too many new photos until yesterday; This is a shot Gabe took over the weekend that I really liked.
  • July 26, 2009.<br /> <br /> Noah got some caterpillars as a birthday present a few weeks ago. They come in a little cup, then crawl around and eventually attach themselves to the lid. A few days later, the butterflies hatch. This photo is of Noah letting the butterflies go in our front yard today. He was excited, happy, and sad, all the same time. The butterflies flew away quickly and all the way to church, Noah kept saying that he saw one of his butterflies friend when he spotted a little butterfly flying around.
  • July 25, 2009.<br /> <br /> Another shot by the river taken from Salem Riverfront Park.
  • July 24, 2009.<br /> <br /> We had some very warm days here in Salem lately, and I took Eli and Noah to play at the park. Salem Riverfront Park has an area dedicated for kids to play and have fun with water on hot days. Eli and Noah had a blast (no pun intended) :D
  • July 23, 2009.<br /> <br /> I am still going through some of the photos I took at the Zoo last Sunday, and I came across this one that I really liked. These little guys were drinking juice from little cups that the Zoo staff were selling. They did not seem afraid to come close to people to drink juice. The kids really enjoyed seeing these guys interact with us.
  • July 22, 2009.<br /> <br /> I took this shot of the Willamette River here in Salem when Gabe and I went for a walk at Riverfront Park. I enhanced the 'blue' tones a little in Lightroom, but not much. I soften it in Photoshop.
  • July 21, 2009.<br /> <br /> We went to Riverfront Park again today and while Eli and Noah played around and Jeneé watched them, Gabe and I went for a walk looking for photos to take.. Gabe took this photo by the dock and I really like his composition and the details. We took other great photos, but I think this one makes it a great Daily Picture.
  • July 20, 2009.<br /> <br /> I took this photo in Silverton, Oregon on Sunday on our way home from the Zoo. The covered bridge is in the back, but this flower basket wsa just amazing.
  • July 19, 2009.<br /> <br /> I am using another photo I took at the Zoo yesterday, this time of this little owl. This lady had brought him out of his cage and she was holding him for people to see, and take pictures. He was found in Bend, Oregon a while back and had some issues, so, they sent him to the Zoo to be cared for.
