There’s so much going on right now, I’m at my limit. But that’s a good thing. Between the baby, work, freelance stuff, and California catching on fire (we’re fine, btw), it’s a tough juggling act I’m doing lately.
Baby appointments are every 2 weeks now, we had shower #2 of 3 last weekend in San Jose, a number of critter-related classes are on the calendar in the months to come. We have a name picked out (which is top secret of course) ad we’re working on the nursery, getting it ready for our new daughter.
Weekend before the shower a friend and I went camping up north of Big Bear Lake. We went for two nights and it was really fun, extremely cold, and dark (fire danger was extreme, so we couldn’t have a camp fire!). We went hiking on Saturday pretty much all day and both nights we got some great photographs of the starry sky. For a sample of our handywork, Check out this slideshow!
Meteor Shower 4am — Be there!

Bryan and I were foolish enough to get up at 3am and try to get some photos of the ever so cool sounding meteor shower. Check this out:
Keiss [a comet] “has visited the inner solar system only twice in the past 2,000 years,” says NASA. “In 83 BC, give or take a few centuries, Keiss swung by the sun and laid down a trail of dusty debris that has been drifting toward Earth’s orbit ever since. On Sept. 1, the dusty trail and Earth will meet.”
Wow! Freakin awesome, right? Well, it was pretty cool, we saw a dozen or so meteors, some with massive trails. But we didn’t really get a whole lot in photos. In the center of the photo above you’ll see the best one that I caught. The shot is way too bright, but we were experimenting, so whatever. Anyway… we decided to spend some quality time goofing off with long exposure shots while we were there in the dark. Check some of the other shots we created in a slideshow.
