Stephen, the Artist

My son, Stephen, is an artist. He probably wouldn't admit it, but as you can see from some of his work, that he has some talent. He doesn't inherit this gift from me. He gets this from his father. His father is also a talented artist. I don't have any proof to show you, but I've seen his work. I took this pictures yesterday so that I could post them today. I am truly enjoying my new camera. It takes awesome pictures or is it the photographer? LOL.....Needless to say, my son has some incredible talent and I must say that I am extremely jealous. I only wish I could draw a straight line. Do let me know what you think of his artwork.

Reflection Picture

I saw that my friend Myrna took a reflection picture and I decided to give that a try. I never took a picture like that before. It looked easy, but I will agree with Myrna that it was a tough shot. It took me just a few tries, but trying to focus was the most difficult part. I took this picture of my oldest son playing a video game. He had just gotten home from work and really wasn't too keen with my idea, but thankfully he played along. Not only did I capture my reflection, but I also captured the reflection of the television.

Okay....this photo may seem odd to you, but I was testing my new camera. I love the color green and I bought these shoes back in June. I don't wear them that often, but I had them on the day I after I got out of a workshop. I was laying down on my bed and I lifted my legs to get the perfect shot of my shoes up in the air. You can see the AC vent and filter along with the smoke detector. And no, it wasn't one of those drunken moments either....LOL.....(That was for Myrna). But, I did think about doing the picture a day challenge. I take odd pictures all the time and my friends will gladly tell you so. And, in case you are wondering, green is my favorite color....hence my name and my shoes.....I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.....

This photo of me was taken after a weekend trip to Dallas. I took lots of pictures while we were there, none compared to this photo. While I look relaxed, the truth was that I was exhausted. I had so much fun on this trip. I can't wait to take another trip with all the kids again. But, this time, the trip will be much longer and well worth it, even more so than Dallas. I wish I had more days where I look like this, but no.....Another thing, my hair is no longer this length. I cut it off about 2 months later. I'll have to post a picture of me with my short hair.

Yep, that's me!!!

Well, this was one of those special days at work where we get to have some fun. It was Crazy Hair Day and I got the craziest hairdo I could think of.....To tell you the truth, I looked hideous, but the students paid attention to me all day long. I had some fun with my camera and took some self-portraits of myself and this one is my favorite. Guess with this picture you can see a bit of my personality!

Hello!

This is my first post. I'd like to welcome you to my newest blog spot. I would like to thank my friend, Myrna, for telling me about this place. So, I'm going to start slow and I'll probably take off like a rocket as soon as I get into the swing of this.......
