Fun Scenes Around Japan #1

I think it would be fun to post a few of the interesting or different things that we see around here. So here is #1.

Dogs are more than pets here, they are people! I could take thousands of the funny scenes with dogs in Japan. Here is one that I snapped today. And no this isn't a rarity here. It is the norm. In fact many times you will see a dog wearing bling or a tuxedo.

Everything Photo and Cameras But Afraid To Ask?

My kick-butt best buddy Val is an amazing photographer. She has started a new session on her blog called Tuesday Tips where she will start offering advice and suggestions for people wanting to learn more about photos, cameras and maybe if we are lucky even digital editing.

I personally am ecstatic about this. So stop on over to her blog and let her know what you would like to learn more about. And then check back every Tuesday for advice that I know we could all use.

Sharing a few more pictures

I am so irked. The photographer that was at the State Meet this past weekend lost Emily's pictures! (they take pics throughout the beam and floor routines) Another girl on the team's pics were lost as well, and the photographer is hoping they will find them somewhere, sometime. (great customer service they have) Luckily the coach got a few shots. So I thought I would share a few more pics from Em's State Meet this past weekend. Can you tell I am a proud mommy?
