Just My Rambling

I am posting this really early this week because it will be a busy weekend for us. We will be out of the house most of the time, enjoying the 4th of July weekend.

When I saw the theme, this photo immediately came to my mind. I took this while on vacation in Charleston, South Carolina a couple of years ago. This very POINTED church steeple was the first thing I saw when I opened my hotel window. It just look so gorgeous against the blue skies background.

Then there is the famous Hotel Fairmont Empress in Victoria, B.C. It has lots of POINTED window at the top.

Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt. Have a great fourth of July weekend!!

Cruising along the Hubbard Glacier in Alaska on a BRIGHT sunny day which is not a common sight in Alaska. Usually it’s pretty cloudy or gloomy or rainy.

Wow, this theme was much harder than I thought! I went through a lot of my photos and had a hard time finding one that fits this theme. Luckily I came across this one. The little one is having a messy hair day!

We were out shopping this weekend when we came across these bear statues. The little one loved them and wanted to play with them. There was even a mama bear too!Thanks for visiting Weekend Snapshot. Have a great week, everyone!

It was my birthday last week and this is what I got. Yay! I have been wanting to buy a zoom lens for a long time but I have been procrastinating my purchase. I have already spent way too much on my photography stuff already. But since we will be going to Alaska next month, I really needed this lens if I want to capture good photos of the glaciers. Maybe it’s just the excuse I need to buy this lens without the guilt! Of course I really want the 18-200mm lens but it is way over my budget. This 55-200mm is less than half the price. At this time, the cost factor definitely outweighs the inconvenience of changing the lens when I need it.

What happens when you have a 3 year old princess wannabe  at home? You end up with lots of sparkly princess shoes! These are her 2 current favorites.  They are worn all day long together with her princess gowns, tiara, wand and whatever else that befits a princess.  :P

This week’s theme is candy and so here are some jellybeans.

Speaking of jellybeans, meet Mr JellyBelly! The following photos were taken at the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, California.

The fancy jellybelly car

This picture is made up of thousands of jelly beans. This is one of the smaller ones. There were others that were much bigger.  I can’t imagine how long they took to put a picture together.

It was a cold 40 degree weekend and guess what we did? We went camping!! We just got tired of waiting for the warm weather to get here. Usually it’s in the 60s by this time of the year.

We got a new tent this year to accomodate the little one.

Gorgeous view from the campsite.

I finally made it out to the 2008 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival two weekends ago. This festival is held in April every year. Usually by the end of April, the blooms are all gone but the bizarre cold weather this year has really affected the tulips. Even though we were there at the end of April, some tulip didn’t bloom, some just started blooming while others are already at full bloom. The tulips were gorgeous but it probably would have been better if everyone of them were in full bloom. Hope you enjoy the photos.

My favorite time of the night. It’s supposed to be 9 pm but I missed it by 9 minutes. Oh well, it’s close enough. Anyway, 9 pm is bedtime for my little one. As much as I love her, I really love it when she goes to bed. Then it’s my time to do whatever I want whether it’s blogging, reading a book, or watching TV. It’s just a time for me to relax before the day ends. What about you? What is your favorite time of the day?
