Suns vs Spurs in San Antonio

Once a Year the Phx. Suns take their radio affiliates on a trip with the team. This year Marisa and I got to go to San Antonio. Our seats were 7 rows from the floor. Not perfect for taking pictures but, I did manage to get a few good shots. Let me know what you think. I guess I can only upload 5 at a time. So I will do some more in my next post.

Spider On Our Porch

This is one of many spiders cohabiting with us. One of the fun facts we found out about living here in the mountains is that it is home to a ton of different spiders and unless you exterminate every month you will find them in and around your house. This is one of the nicer spiders (it stays on the front porch). Some of the spiders sneak into our house and cause interruptions to the quietness that should exist in our house. No the spiders don't make noise but, Marisa does and the noise she makes can wake the dead. Her scream when she sees a spider makes me think the world is coming to an end. You would think by now I'd be used to it, but I'm not, and to make matters worse she is training our girls to do the same thing. Anyway here are some pics I took tonight using my friends macro. The first 2 images I used a couple of sb800 one camera right and the other left. The bottom image was shot with just one sb800.

Blue Bird

When I pulled up to the park to take Livi and Dillon to their soccer practice tonight I saw this bird sitting in this little tree next to the parking lot. What kind of bird is it? I don't think it's Blue Jay. But what do I know? Anyone know what it is?

Crane Feeding In Pond

I got lucky today. On our way home from our morning session of soccer we saw this crane feeding in a pond next to the road. This is an over flow pond next to Rainbow Lake. I pulled the car over, got out, grabbed my camera and started shooting. I got off a couple of frames and this duck came swimming into the frame. Cool shot huh? I went with Shutter Priority 800. Let the camera pick the fstop. I believe it was f4.5. I focused on the crane so the duck is a little out of focus but still a pretty cool picture if you ask me. Thanks again for all of your comments on the house. We will be making an offer on Monday! Wish us luck.
