After the Browns went back to their home in Utah, my parents came to visit for a few days.
We did not go on any trips, but had fun together around home. We did take my parents to the Garden of the Gods and walked around the neighborhood a few times pulling Jeffrey in his wagon.
This is Jeffrey running away from us at the Garden of the Gods. He is pretty fast when making a get away.
A friend told me that aiming the camera at 90 degrees to the sun makes for the bluest skies. I finally understand what he means now. Looking toward the sun makes the sky so bright for the camera that in comparrison to any mountain or tree in the viewfinder as well, the sky will be blown out and turn white. Composing a scene with the sun on your right or left hand side changes the intensity of the light and allows the blue to be exposed properly.
I tried out my Dad's macro lens on a vase of flowers we have on our table.
Tricia did plan a party for me and many of our friends from church came to welcome me home. The owner of our home even came by to say hello. It was a great party and people kept coming and going for about two hours. There are a lot of people in our ward that have gone out of their way to take care of Tricia and Jeffrey while I have been gone. We are blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends.
My dad and I took some time to shoot photography together.
They brought a toy camera for Jeffrey that takes real digital photos that can be down loaded onto a computer. Jeffrey loved it right away.
