Welcome to Our Family Blog

Sit down, relax, and take in the day-to-day musings of our little suburban family.

"I don't have to look up my family tree, because I know that I'm the sap." ~Fred Allen

Catch Up


Eek! Why am I always playing catch up?! Well, it's the eve of my 33rd birthday (yikes!) and I thought I'd post about what we've been up to the past couple of weeks. So, without further ado, I present little snippets of the past 480 (or so) hours:

Bolsa Chica Conservancy

Last Saturday, Rob and I left Colin with my parents in the afternoon and we drove down to Huntington Beach for a photo-hike. We rendezvoused at Dr. Carl Palazzolo's before heading to Bolsa Chica Conservancy to meet the other hikers. We got a sneak peak at his recent uh-MAZ-ing photo safari to Africa and Carl showed us how to use his 1 D Mark III with a 300 mm lens and 1 Ds Mark III with a 500 mm lens.

We were greeted with a chilling 20 degree drop in temperature (brrr!) and the rest of the gang. We each got about 15 minutes on each camera to shoot whatever we could. I went first on the 1D and never did get a chance at the Ds. Rob passed on the cameras and just watched me have fun. He became very popular with the ladies, too!! Well, it was hard not to gravitate to someone of his stature and NOT use him as a windbreak!! :) We had some good conversation, shot some birds (like, in the photog sense), and headed back to Carl's to indulge in some pizza and take in the entire safari slideshow. We had a great time and Carl was so generous with his cameras and his knowledge. Rob and I are going to save up to go on one of his safaris or a trip to the Galapagos. Uh-MAZ-ing.....

Just a few shots from Bolsa Chica:
