Day 38

1st Valentine : : This is my daughter's first Valentine. Her grandparents gave it to her today along with a silver jewelry box and locket. I hope every Valentine throughout her life is as special as this. 

Day 37

Socked In : : Woke up to some very thick fog (typed smog first -- that's what you get for living in California!) this morning. Played around with different shutter speeds to let varying amounts of light in. Liked this one the best at a speed of 125. It allows for a slight amount of color in the trees, but mostly silhouette.

Day 36

Crayon Smash : : While we were out walking today, saw this crayon explosion all over the asphalt. Someone must have dropped their bag of crayons. Then, it was run over repeatedly. Gave the photo a boost of overexposure to bring out those bright colors.

Day 35

Here's to One Year! : : My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary this evening. We enjoyed a delicious dinner of slow-cooked lamb in red wine sauce with creme de choufleur on the side. These beautiful glasses were given to us by one of my bridesmaid's but we hadn't used them yet as I found myself pregnant shortly after we returned from our honeymoon, unable to drink wine. We decided tonight would be a good night to break them in.

Day 34

Superbowl XLVII : : A disappointing game to a San Francisco 49er's fan, but fun to watch nonetheless.  Congrats, Ravens.

Day 33

Blazing Sunset : : The sunset this evening was spectacular. My husband commented that it appeared as if the roof was on fire. It kind of does look that way....

Day 32

Frustration : : My daughter has begun the quest to roll over. She gets really frustrated after she's been trying for a while and is still stuck in her original position. This was her this morning attempting a roll over but to no avail.
