Children’s Museum Trip

With no photos of the actual museum.  Just the walk down there.

 

It had been a while where I had taken my camera on a walk like this recently.  It was a lot of fun.

This was my favorite photo of the walk with the yellow and the dark sky:

Birds in the fountain in flight:

Random walls on the way there:

Texture:

The fountain with a slow shutter speed to catch the water but no tripod so really blurry :(

Something out of the death star:

A series of sculpture shots:

Different depth of field:

More blown out:

Different angle:

Another angle:

And some shots from the actual museum which makes a liar out of me:

Butterflies:

Which I had hoped would turn out a little more awesome:

Almost There

Trying to catch up to the present over this weekend so you will see a lot of posts.

 

Yachi getting near term:

Potty Trained

Actually she was a scary amount of time ago but this seems to capture that feeling:

 

Grandma hanging out with her:

And one more of her joy:

Growing

Belly wise:

And maturity wise:

8 Months

Baby Packages

In the belly:

And in the bag:

So heavy:

Getting very comfy:

Random outdoors shot:

Amazing Growth

And Leon’s Getting Longer

Starting On The Baby’s Room

With his first blanket that Yachi made:

Which Eileen also thinks is the most comfortable thing in the house:

A Little Party Time

For Yachi’s birthday.

With a rapidly expanding belly:

Some flower shots at Calla.  Like the store’s namesake:

And in the bouquet:

Yachi really engaged in the conversation:

Street Food

There was a gathering of street food vendors from around the city in Interbay and I headed down there with my mom to meet up with Tim and Co.

We actually did not try any food as we had eaten earlier and the lines were 1 hour+ which was a little ridiculous.  It was cool seeing a lot of the places though.

It was also a gorgeous day out:

Here is a shorter line:

Random buildings:

The end of the most crazy line.  Also you can just see on the right where you had to wait for your food for an additional hour after you ordered it:

Getting Bigger

Greenlake At Night

As I still had the nice lens and we were taking a walk around Greenlake I thought I might as well try to get some shots.  It was dark so a lot did not turn out but I was happy with those that did.  Also I was happier with the lens in this environment as it seemed more what it was made for.

Going to sleep:

Already sleeping:

And a large series of trees and water.

This was my favorite as it is hard to see where the water is and where the tree is:

Some more wavy pics as it got darker:

Slightly darker:

And really dark:

And a random bud shot:

The Day After

Lauren surprisingly was looking pretty chipper but I guess passing out at 10 does have its benefits:

Morgan however was not doing so well:

Thoughtful Lauren:

And Cathy:

New Years Eve

With a rented 70-200.  While I like the quality of the picture the lens took I really do not like that long a focal length for the type of picture I end up taking.  All I could get of people while sitting around a table with them was their eyes so that is all that this post contains.
