We Had Birthdays

Ellyn Takes Bite.  I Take Picture.

It was odd for two reasons. First, we combined two of my nephews birthdays into one party. Parenthetically, this must have been some kind of punishment for the audacity to be born near the same time. The other reason it was odd is that Ellyn took a huge bite and I got a picture. Soon I will post the rest of the pictures taken during the party, but I couldn’t wait for this one.

As promised, here are the other pictures…

USS Constitution

Bow of USSC model

I’ve been working on a model of the USS Constitution for a little bit. I was inspired by my trip to Boston where I had the opportunity to walk aboard the actual ship. Even though the quality of my work is very amateurish, the progress I have made has been quite rewarding. My patience has grown since I have gotten older but is still not to the point where I could do any better than what I have done so far. Nevertheless, this has been a lot of fun and I think it will be good enough to display when it is completed.

The pictures in the above linked gallery were made using a portrait and close up focus on a digital camera. They have actually come in useful because they show up certain imperfections I wouldn’t otherwise have ever seen.
