Now Presenting...

my favorite superstar. I like to call this one 007:

Saturday started out a rainy, yucky day, but turned out to be the perfect day for a photo shoot.

So we hit up the Red Butte Gardens for a little modeling activity.

Didn't I have the cutest model ever?

Show me the muscles!

He was such a good sport, even when he had to sit next to a girl...ewwww!

"Who me?!"

But despite how cute the last few pictures were, this one shows his personality best, I think!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

It's a Little Late

but I still had fun playing with these photos of Christmas. It came and went so fast, just like always.

Below is what happens when you let your brother play with your camera. All sorts of weird pictures of yourself!

And here is my adorable nephew who likes to feed cars to dogs...

Hope everyone had a nice holiday.

P.S.

This dog is very useful...her back doubles as a racetrack for small ones.

Meet My New Friend

...an awfully dusty friend, but a good one nonetheless.

That's what you get for choosing black. Isn't she lovely?

And this is what boredom looks like...

It's December?

I get sick of seeing the same photo on my page every time I look at it. So here is a pointless post about things that make me smile during this season:

Well, I guess this isn't quite the right season anymore, but the post needed a little color.

...

Majestic trees that make me feel small.

...

Just seeing this photo makes me feel warm and cozy.

...

Ice skating in front of the Hotel du Ville in Paris. I love the city hall building. One of my favorites.

...

And this last one is just for fun:

All in favor say, "aye."

All Hallows Eve

...was so much fun to plan and decorate for. I've decided that Halloween is my 2nd favorite holiday...okay maybe a tie with the 4th of July. But seriously, how often do you get an excuse to be silly, decorate with fake spider webs, and play dress up in a socially acceptable way?

Not only that, other people willingly do it with you! Please note the victims below. I even learned the Thriller dance!

Now I have skills.

And I was sooo happy to see my friends who came from such a long distance! You guys rock!

I loved the black lights and the way they floressed my spider webs. The next morning I saw I was not the only one impressed with my handiwork: a real spider had decided to make himself at home in the neon green web! Fooled him--ha!

I'm Famous

...okay, maybe not, but recently one of my photos from my Antique Magnifique post in late September was used as the subject for this lovely rendering by my new-found blogging buddy, Maria. Check out her blog, Point of My View, HERE. Hopefully it's okay that I repost it for all to enjoy:

I love it Maria. I also loved seeing your progress on this piece. Would that I had the painting talent!

I Think I Can

This is a display at the public library for the Utah Food Bank, I believe. And yes, that hat is made completely of cans.

How cool is that?

Oh Summer, How I Miss Thee...

I will miss your flowers...

And your fresh produce...

And your sunshine...

Please come back soon!
