That little dot? Yeah, that's EARTH
This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of a planet beyond the Moon. It was taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour before sunrise on the 63rd martian day, or sol, of its mission. The image is a mosaic of images taken by the rover's navigation camera showing a broad view of the sky, and an image taken by the rover's panoramic camera of Earth. The contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth easier to see.more here

My crazy women!
Today is Paige's first day of school for this year. It's also her last year in pre school. I can't believe it!
Anyway, we took some pictures today before she went off to school and this is my favorite!
It perfectly shows their personality - happy and nuts!!
To see all the shots, click on the picture and browse around the set on flickr.

Monarch: From caterpillar to a full fledged butterfly
While working in the yard, I came across this caterpillar that I had never seen before, and was really taken by the colors and the size (it was about 5 inches long).
Paige immediately named it "Stripey". Well, we placed Stripey in Paige's bug collector after I took some pictures and after dinner - we noticed that Stripey had started to make a cocoon! What do we have here????? Scmmrrrrrr.
The first picture was taken on August 26th, 2007, and the "release" happened today September 8th, 2007. 13 lucky days!

Haleakala at dawn
The peak of Haleakala volcano, at 10,023 feet (3055 m) above sealevel is the highest point on Maui, the third-highest point in the state and may be the "peak" of your experience at Haleakala National Park.
This was taken in July 2002 on our honeymoon. We will be heading back there this October for our 5th anniversary after my work trip.
Becky poster
I love this picture of Beck and was messing around with fd's Flickr Toys (http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/) and made this.

Jessica & Paige
My niece Jessica and Paige spinning around in the yard.
I can't believe how old Jessica is already, and I'm looking at a picture of my brother's daughter and my own.
Time flys by kids - enjoy every second of it today!

Kaitlyn at the pool
Paige and Kaitlyn have been enjoying their new pool this summer. It's one of those blow-up ones, but it stands like 30" high so they can really get wet, swim and play hard.
This was taken last week when Mom was over. I like the stop-action of it and her expression. It almost says 1,000 words. Hahahahah. OK, it wasn't that funny, I know.

Wrong ball, coach!
If I ever decide to coach the girls sports teams, you can GUARANTEE that I will try something like this.
Bumble and pollen
Here is a bumble bee burying himself in our Hosta flowers. The yellow speckles you see on his abdomen are flecks of pollen.
Taken yesterday with the Sigma 150 mm on a tripod, cropped, lightened post production in Picasa.
