St. Patty's Day

Last Tuesday's party - great wine, Irish food and drinks, and of course great friends. I had too much to drink that night, because they were soooo good. It didn't hit me until the dessert was over and I had to sleep in my car while the party was still going on. I was too drunk to take any more pictures and it was really hard getting up to go to work the next day. I usually don't get wasted, but I think it was the Irish coffee!!!

Lights, Camera, Action - Mr Roboto

In my lab at work we have this robotic arm that I photograph during my break time. I used a flashlight with different colored filters for my lighting effects and the motion shots were only moving the camera around.

Spring Flowers

Some of my orchids bloomed last weekend and I also found a patch of Calla lilies at Michelle's yard with a lady bug larve. The Calla lily is one Joy's mom favorite flower that she grew. I remembered when Joy's mom also grew different type house plants and her dad used to sell them at the swap meet with a Mr. Bali Hai Mug that he tranformed to a pot.

Waiting for the Ladies

While Joy, Nancy, Dianne, and April were trying to get out from their Mexico cruise ship yesterday, I had about an hour to take some pictures of the LA harbor. I played around with the camera's settings to change the mood of my pictures and also blew some hot air on my lens for a foggie effect.
