Reworked Easter Pictures


Nested Bird, originally uploaded by bostonaday.

So I spent some more time working on the pictures I took over Easter. Some of these are repeats and some are all new:

The bird in the picture above was hiding behind a mooring post at the ferry. Of the dozen or so shots, this was the one where he peeked out the most.

And this is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. Alison and Jen were at the front of the ferry looking out across the water as we were underway. Alison's little fistfull of shirt really shows the mother-daughter bond.

And there here is the father-daughter bonding picture. I recomposed this picture from the previous post and I think it's a lot stronger.

Alison's sweet blue eyes

In case there's any doubt that Alison is going to break hearts one day.

Happy Alison

Seriously, how could I not post this picture right away?

E and I spent the day with Ben, Jen, and Alison. We crossed the James river on the ferry and spent the day at the Jamestown settlement. While that was nice, it was really just something interesting to do while we spent a relaxing day together as a family.

I'll probably spend some more time on these pictures when I get back home, but here's a sneak preview...

*** Edited because I'm a dork and I deleted the old versions of the pictures from my flickr account. If these pics look the same as the "new" pics, you're not imagining things. ***

Curtains are for Kitties

Wally plopped down on this curtain that we had taken down while we were doing some cleaning. E took some pictures at the same time and I think hers will turn out better. Still, it's hard to pass up an opportunity to take and share some pictures of Walter.

Vegas Rooftop


IMGP0488, originally uploaded by bostonaday.

Since my room had an unglamorous view of Vegas, I thought I'd focus on that in the picture. So there's a lot of rooftop plumbing and parking garage in this picture. This was shot through the narrow slit of open window. I think that I may have had the dirtiest window in town. It looked like window washers had started to clean it and them stopped--letting all the dirty water just drip down the glass.

I really liked the light coming through the window and the way that the shears formed ripples on the ceiling. My room didn't have an exception view, but with this photo I can almost pretend that it did.
