Some of those Humpbacks got close to us, but that's the fun.
 Posted by Picasa



  
This is my attempt at trying to get a capture of a Humpback whale jumping up. Unfortunately I was on the other side of the boat, and almost launched myself off trying to capture this. First time I've been whale watching, and I saw some.



  
Here's a panoramic from Cannery Row. Was pretty neat.



  Heading North to Monterey.
We decided to leave Morro Bay and check out the coast. Drove up Highway 1 and enjoyed the scenery. I took a few pictures and then stitched them together for a partial panoramic. I may have to try this out again.




  Start of our Trip
So, we spent the weekend at Lake Nacimiento and then the family went home on Monday. Jerusha and I continued on to Morro Bay, and found a new friend.




  
This is me playing with Picasa. Did a focused B&W with colored flowers.





  Artsy Fartsy
Here's a shot from the last wedding my mother and I did. Had to try an Artsy Fartsy shot. Posted by Picasa



  Collage of some of my flowers.


I've been playing with some of my flower images and decided to try and make a Collage.




  New Projects
Well, I'm now helping my mother (http://www.vikkig.com) with wedding photos. Maybe I'll get good enough to be able to do this on my own. I've already done two so far, and should have them on the site soon. I'll be updating the Photo Gallery more as I do more of these.



  
Good News, I was finally able to update to a new provider, and get the site back up. I'm still working on the photo gallery, but it should be back up soon with some of the same, but more than likely new pictures!! I'll try and do a better job this time of keeping the place up to date.
