We put up a pergola for shade in the back yard, but used different concrete anchors instead of the ones that came with it. The only problem was the anchors were taller, so the cover didn't rest on the ground. A grinder took care of that problem.

There was just a little bit of ice cream left, so we let him eat it strait from the box. He really enjoyed that.

Teddy. I love my 105mm 1.4. His eyes are in focus, but his ears are way out of focus.

It's been crazy hot, and the girls room get hotter than the rest of the house. So we made a little swamp cooler with a damp towel in front of the fan. It worked pretty well.

A neighbor let Becca pick as many apricots as she wanted, so she freeze dried a bunch of them. Playing around with the lensbaby here, and tilted the lens to shift the focus plane to get as much in focus as I could.

My sister gave me a camera and a couple lenses that had some issues. This 50mm 1.4 lens is nice but the focusing is really jittery. It'll cost more to fix than the lens is worth, so I think I may try to open it up and see if I can find any obvious issues.
