Kubota Tractors

Awhile back there were some tractors across the street from us. They were out there because there was a new fence going in next to the railroad tracks. For several days I drove past them and thought, 'How cool would it be to take some pictures of these things?'

Well, finally THAT day came....it had just rained and the clouds were still pretty "moody"....the family and I had just come home from lunch and I said to the wife...."I'm gonna go shoot those tractors."

To that Loo says, "Daddy, can I go out and take pictures of them, too?"

How can I resist that?

I grab my gear and she gets her Fisher Price Digital Camera, as we were ready to walk out the door, Loo saw me putting my ShootSac on and said, "Oh, Dad can I go and get my camera bag too?"

Again, I can't say no....she comes downstairs with this little pink bag that I think is actually for one of her baby dolls, but her camera fits PERFECTLY inside of it....that kid knows how to melt my heart!

Anyway....I start by asking her what we should take pictures of ("Where should we start?")....she said she didn't know. So I started with this shot.



This is what she shot.







It was so awesome to watch her little creative brain working and just snapping away. She would watch me take a picture of something and then she'd take a picture of it (in her own way, of course!).












We fed off of each other and had a lot of fun






She even inspired me!!





How cute is this little girl?!?!








I'll let the rest of these speak for themselves!










Another Loo inspired shot.



I think I may be using that shot as a texture overlay, as soon as Chip teaches me how!

Loo, I had such a great time with you! Thank you for wanting to come with me!

See Chip Shoot

You'll remember from this post that Chip came over and took pictures of me while I hung up Christmas lights.

So when I downloaded all the pictures from the camera I discovered that when he wasn't shooting pictures of me....he was shooting pictures of HIMSELF.

And with that I present....

Come on man....Look in the mirror once in awhile.


I am the walrus....Coo Coo Ka Choo

Thanks for the laugh, dude....albeit at your expense!

You know I love you man!

Fort Bend County Fair - Family & Friends

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

We went to the Fort Bend County fair with our Studio 563 family.

Food, Drinks and plenty of fun was had by all.

The Blonde One and Loo are best friends and they had so much fun at the fair.

We started off walking through the Midway....Loo won a panda bear.



Goog had a pretty good time too!



WATCH OUT!! It's the Attack of the 50 Foot Toddler!



Next....it was time for the Dragon Roller Coaster!







Chip brought his camera too! (Check out his shots from the fair here)



Sisters love the Turtle Spin!





We stood in line a few minutes for the Merry-Go-Round....Once we got on we had to wait some more!



Once we got going....the smiles came out.





A little while later Craig stopped by the fair with his family....here he is with the Wee One.



Here's another shot of Chip before it got dark.



After dark, the Fun Slide was ROCKIN'



Over on the stage, the performers called a bunch of kids up on the stage to get dressed up and to sing some songs....of course Loo and the Blonde One had to perform!



We all had a great time.
