How could I be with this guy for seven years and not have had “his” red white & blue parfait? Last time he said “I think I’ll make ‘my’ such-and-such” was about something else he made in this 13×9 Pyrex dish– “My breakfast casserole” —after we had been together for six years! You got any other tricks up your sleeve, honey? 😉

Digital zoom test with Froyo camera app
I finally got the Froyo (Android 2.2) update pushed to my Nexus One today, and I noticed digital zoom as an option in the new Camera app. I ran an experiment by placing this ad down on the counter, and standing in the same place taking photos at 2x, 1.5x, and 1x digital zoom.

The Smithsonian featured a photo of mine
I just remembered that I forgot to share the good news with everyone that The Smithsonian featured a photo of mine last March. It appeared in a Click! Photography Changes Everything post in the webzine The Bigger Picture – Visual Archives and The Smithsonian.
I am honored even though I realize that The Smithsonian has featured photos by thousands of photographers over the years. Still, how many people can say that The Smithsonian featured a work of theirs. It’s exciting to be a part of a great American institution.

Fish swimming around room at Sea Life Aquarium

Beautiful Westin Kierland Resort
My husband & I spent a week at the Westin Kierland resort in Scottsdale as a staycation around Memorial Day weekend. (We met seven years ago on Memorial Day weekend.) Basically in this video I show and tell how majestic the lobby and grand entrance to the back patio and golf course are, and give you a 360° view of it all.
