I am experimenting with a new software called QTpfsGUI or as I like to call it, Luminance HDR. This photo is a demonstration of a more pronounced effect it can make. It is very pretty and I like it. Going to have to try this on and in some local Churches.

Found this story narrated by Lucia (5 yo)

July 13, 2009

Oh, guess what! I standed on my baby doll, and so the head came off! And this was the funniest thing that happened in my whole life! When I was going to go get my pajamas on, I started to throw my baby doll on the tent! And before I had took my bath, I was on the swingset writing in my Tinker-bell journal. And so I hate it when Mama goes to the library and goes through the drive-through. But I love it when Mama goes to the library and takes us and lets us all pick out books!

I kinda wonder if this is what it looks like right before he goes climbing or slinging up the side of a building. This is Broadway Plaza in Wichita, Ks.

This is my great uncle Eugene. Born, raised and lived his life farming in NorthWest Kansas has made him very wise. He doesn't pull punches, he will tell you what he thinks but he is also one of the orneriest people that I know. This is a snapshot turned portrait I took this past deer season. He was born in the midst of the depression to a family of 16 kids (9 boys and 7 girls). I have had many a memorable visit to his farm.

This is the final result of a couple hours of work I undertook with the 4 oldest girls. Dawn and Addie went shopping and I got to slice open 3 pumpkins (1 had gone rotten) and supervise the gutting of the pumpkins. We drew faces on them and cut them. Mary (10.5 now) wanted to carve the face of one while I worked on another and I didn't let her. However, she is getting old enough that with some supervision she will be carving one next year. I have some more pictures to put up from the carving and 1 other picture of the finished product that just has the glowing cutouts but no glowing pumpkins. Hope everyone had a great All Hallows and remembered their loved ones on All Souls.

Quote of the day

I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.

- Thomas Jefferson


Not only is this a quote of the day, it is something that makes you go hmmmmm.
