I just got home from a very long day and sadly, I was unable to get my D90 out for anything during the course of the day.  Thank goodness for the iPhone!

I love coming home to surprises like this!  Miranda was making homemade ravioli with the crab that we picked up at the Whole Foods on Sunday.  I can’t help but say it again, am I a lucky guy or what?

I took a walk outside early this evening and I am starting to see the benefit of all the rain that we have been having over the past few months.  Garden flowers and wildflowers are in full bloom.  I did not have to go too far from home before I spotted this foxglove.  I had seen this type of flower before on a visit to the Huntington Library but I did not know what it was called until I just used Google it to find out.  Seems like a perculiar name for a flower to me.

Over the past few weeks Miranda and I have been expanding the range of the fruits and vegetables that we get while at Whole Foods and at the Farmers Market.  What has been great is that we haven’t planned a weekly dinner menu but Miranda has been able to combine what we have shopped for in amazing combinations that I have enjoyed eating a great deal.

This is the first time that I think either one of us have ever bought bok choy.  I cannot wait to see how these little gems end up on our dinner plate but for now, I am just having a lot of fun saying bok choy.

Last night I had the chance to photograph the Joshua Redman Trio at the Luckman Theater on the California State University, Los Angeles campus.  The theater was an absolutely beautiful backdrop for the jazz ensemble.  Unfortunately, due to the rules of the theater, I was only able to photograph from the rear soundboard but I feel that I was still able to capture some great photographs from the show.

I jumped in the car with Miranda this morning to downtown L.A. so that we could run a few errands.  I was having a lot of fun photographing down there until the rain started again.

I was poking around this afternoon on our patio taking photographs of some of the foliage that we have out there when I stumbled upon these little guys hanging out on one of the young palms of one of our plants.  I quickly switched to my macro lens to get a sharper shot of the little guys.

I finally figured out the issues that I was having getting the auto-focus to work when I used my Nikon ML-L3 Remote today.  Not sure exactly how, but I am not complaining.  I have been wanting to do some more dramatically lit self portraits so I used my SB-600 without the umbrella for this photograph.  I really like the way that it came out but I think with more practice I can get less of the shadow on my right shoulder in the future.

I took this today with the shakeitphoto application for the iPhone after Lori Jackson turned me onto it.  It is a fun application that gives the comes complete with the animation of the photograph coming out of an instant camera along with the sounds effects too.  With this photograph I accidentally ran the photograph through the application twice and it gave a much nicer look as well as the double border/matting effect.

These cuff links were a gift that my brother made and gave to me a few years back when I started out wearing dress shirts that required such accessories.  Of course they satisfied my need at the time but the fact that they were chemistry themed made them all the better.  I love them so much that they are always my go-to set when I need to wear them (I even wore them on my wedding day).
