Lunar Eclipse

The weather in the Central Valley was crisp and clear last night. It was perfect for photographing the lunar eclipse. We went to the fire station at Kearney Park with the telescope, camera and tripod. It was a great opportunity to play around with shutter speeds and aperture settings. The photo with the tree was taken at night without flash and the only light was behind the camera and to the left. I really need to learn how to use my camera to it's full potential.

WHO KNEW ?

Well, you can't always trust what you see on television. I'm sure you've seen COPS on television and see them haul people off to jail for fighting and physical assault / battery. Well, it doesn't really work that way. The attacked person has to actually press charges, even if there is visual evidence such as a torn shirt, bruising to the arm, etc. They can only haul in the agressor if it is a domestic dispute or when the parties involved live under the same roof.

Cooler Nights = Quilting

If you would like to curl up under this quilt with your favorite book and a cup of hot chocolate, contact Immanuel High School.

Keeping Busy!

It's hard to believe that this school year has already passed.  Dalton completed his freshman year of high school and is taking college classes this summer.  He will get credit at college and high school for the summer semester.  If all works out according to his plan he will be close to an associates degree by the time he graduates from high school. Morgan is busy recuperating from her broken elbow (radial head fracture) that she sustained the week after school let out.  Her summer is not completely ruined, the cast only has to be on for three weeks.  It will however be in place for the wedding on June 20th.  She is a bridesmaid and therefore got a cast in a coordinating color to match her dress.  I will have to post pictures after the wedding to 1.) show that Morgan does on occasion wear a dress and 2.) that a cast can be a fashionable accessory in any wedding. Kevin is still plucking away at his classes one at a time.  He is currently taking algebra online.  I am not sure how mu...
