A new word!

Kate has learned a new word! And I know she actually understands what she is saying because I don't have to say it first anymore. I show her a duck, ask her what it is and she replies! Of course it currently sounds like "guck" but it is progress and I'll take it.

OC Fair Competition

I love taking landscape photos and over the past three years I have entered many of my pictures in the United Airlines "Hemispheres" magazine amateur photo contest. I've never had any success and understand why once I see the amazing photos that actually win. These artists are major amateur enthusiasts. I've had no training at all and can't even tell you one photography term. But that doesn't stop me from entering and still enjoying taking pictures.

I thought I would give it a go locally with the OC Fair competition. I had a few pics to choose from but could only submit three. Below are the ones submitted. Wish me luck!

"Temple of the Dog" - Athens stray lounging in front of the Temple of the Olympian Zeus (Athens, Greece)

"Mykonos at sunset" - peaceful image in the bustling Greek island Mykonos

"OC Glam" - You're never too young to be a diva! Kate and Cherise (my bro's gf) on Mother's Day.
