Roses at Dinner






28 October 2014:

More fun with the new lens. Lily had an 'oops' experience with the baked chicken tonight, so we went to Phuket Thai instead. These (not so real?) roses were on the table.

Caltech Visit

18 October 2014:

It was a presentations day for the 2014 Caltech summer undergraduate research projects. I brought along the camera with the new lens, still experimenting with it. Top image is Tyler, one of the students we have come to know through the program. The bottom image is of a very bright flowering tree on campus. Who knew that some trees blossom in the fall?

Visitors at the Beach



10 October 2014:

I took the afternoon off, and we entertained a visiting family from New Zealand. The weather was fantastic, and the two kids did what all kids are supposed to do at the beach. And did I say how much I like this new lens?

Ray thru the new lens


4 October 2014:

We went over to have dinner with him and see if we could get his email unstuck. Dinner was successful, email adventure not so much.

But boy do I like this lens. Look at that nice out-of-focus background.
