Acadia -- Some Flowers

During our trip to Acadia National Park in Maine, I literally took hundreds of pictures. Here are some of the flower pictures that I liked the most (although that doesn't mean I disliked the others!).

Misplaced Lunge & Jumping Saberists

Since it's getting closer to the Olympics, here are a few photos from my college fencing days. It's always miraculous when you can get a relatively decent looking picture when the object is moving, you don't have a tripod, and your camera can only handle but so much excitement. But they were fun photos to take nonetheless.

Big Kids Toys for the Little Ones!

The Boston Children's Museum has many different theme rooms, many of which have "grown up" type activities for kids. The two and a half year old we went with wanted to try out everything, of course.

Rope Cage...of fun?

At the Boston Children's Museum there is a three story rope enclosed climbing area, for all kids under a certain size. Our friends' 2.5 year old daughter couldn't get enough of it this past February (she went in 3 times), despite how she looks in the first photo.

Fenway Park - Winning game ball

This is actually a photo of a large photo in their clubhouse restaurant. I only post this photo because I like the way the ball looks when the entire thing is not visible, as opposed to having the black space around it as it does in their photo.

Desert Animals

Some of you (OK, probably all of you) probably have already seen half of these pictures on my other blog, but I still think they have a place here anyway. I managed to get some great close-up shots of animals in Richland, WA last summer, so of course I wanted to share.

All of these pictures were taken while on a boat on the Columbia River.

Expressions Galore, in Action!

I have a cousin who is incredibly expressive. She often makes the greatest faces in reaction to what is happening around her, and she also takes beautifully posed pictures as well. Here are a few action shots of her that I absolutely love.
