Honeymoon -- Day 2

Hanging out on our balcony ("lanai" in Hawaiian).


Ansil is in LOVE with this bamboo stuff (at the hotel). :)


We wandered up and down our little stretch of Waikiki this morning after breakfast. The clouds looked so cool that I sweetly requested (read: forced) Ansil to wander over and pose for me.


He was very obliging. :)


He even turned contemplative there for a bit.

...or maybe just bored.


And let the record show: Ansil's photography skills are growing by leaps and bounds!
He even offers to take photos now. :)


A gracious bystander noticed our photographic strivings and stepped in to help.
Poor Ansil doesn't much enjoy staring into the sun.


And finally: some birds. Cute, no?

Honeymoon -- Day 1


So... guess where we are?


Oh yeah :)


Totally loving this honeymoon thing.


Groovin'


This is the life!


Happy Birthday to Ansil and Aloha to all our family and friends from the sunny beaches of Oahu!

Thanksgiving 2011

I had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving with my husband's family this year. What a great opportunity to practice my photography! (Please note the double win of my not having to show up in a single photo.)

My two sweet nieces were there...




Morgan



and Madison



They are fabulous. <3



Esther was rocking her excellent bows. (Or should I refer to them as "beast"?)



Marvelous girl!



We had an absolute blast...



Seriously, doesn't she look thrilled?



I finally got to meet Rebecca! :)




Here they are! (Way too bright, but we made the effort.)




Lots of effort. ;)
