Fun with friends at Disneyland

Spent the day playing with the camera again at Disneyland. Had a lot of fun with my hubby and friend Jill. I tried a few things such as adjusting my ISO for dark areas and played with my aperture settings. Here are some of the pictures I took. Comments and Suggestions welcome.

 Yes I love to try to get reflections!!! It's just too much fun!!!
 My attempt at getting sun rays....Not the best...
 Had to get the water drops. My camera was playing games with me on this. My hubby could get the pic but not me... but in the end I won!!!
 Just fun.... Christmas on Main Street
 Goofy was trying to figure out what we were taking pics of.

Some fun shots at the game

In my typical ADD fashion I can focus on the game only for so long before I start chatting with people, teaching kids about photography (what I have learned), and well just taking random Just 4 Fun pics. So here you go!
 Fall leaves in fence... just 4 fun!
 Believe it or not this gal doesn't like her picture taken....
 Yet she is very photogenic.
 The great thinker!!!
 This kiddo was asking great photography questions and taking pictures of me taking pictures of him. Love this pic!
 Random leaves....

Action packed game

Early morning games are never easy. Early on Saturday to boot... This morning we did the run to Carl's Jr because my son determined that in order to have a decent breakfast we needed sausage and bacon to both we are out... Then I needed to jump start my morning with a run to Starbucks for a Peppermint Mocha in which I was neither greeted when I walked in nor was I given the red sprinkles on the top which just makes the Peppermint Mocha magical. :) So off to the game we go arriving in my typically early fashion we enjoy conversation in the car while we wait for someone from our team to arrive.

Game on!!!
 Sliding in home....and the look on his face just says OUCH!!!!
 Clearly safe....
 I love the dust coming off the catchers glove!!!
 You say JUMP.... and we say make way sliding in.....
Lost in a cloud of dust in 3.....
 2.....
 1..... and POOF he's gone

We ended up with a tied game. Sad sorta I thought we played to break the tie. Apparently that is a Spring ball Little League rule???

Children's books and art work

Funny how things get refreshed in your mind. Years ago I wrote a children's book and illustrated it. Several years have past, feedback given on the one I completed and never published. Suddenly after running my book through PDF I have the creative juices flowing again... Now which one to pick up as I have a few started ones. One about a doggy named Oreo or one about a student attending a virtual school. Heck I guess if the creativity is there I should try to finish both.

Honestly the amount of folks who write children's books in my opinion outweighs the possibility of my books ever being published. (Therefore I don't try...sad I know) I guess though that what truly matters is that I enjoy writing them and illustrating them. Even if it is for my own personal enjoyment and that of the select few I share them with.
