APOD #6

Most of the pictures of the last two weeks come from Bombshell, The Princess and Indy's house. Just thought I would go for a little change in scenery. :)

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5. Exposure time: 1/60. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: 0 step. Focal length: 37 mm. Bombshell and The Princess prepare to wow them at the annual elementary school Valentine's Day dance. Bombshell makes sure that she has the night of the dance every year so that she can go, which makes The Princess very happy.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/4. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 25mm. At the start of what is becoming an annoyance of vast proportions (the ear infection), Pan took me to the Olive Garden for dinner. I just love the bright vibrant blues and yellows of the vase surrounded by bottles of house wine.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5.6. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 55mm. While there, Pan had the Pork while I had the chicken and spinach dish. It was very good, but way more than I could eat so we fixed a to-go box to take to Bombshell and the kids.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5.6. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 47mmBombshell loves the look of the 30s and 40s. I had bought the hatbox to go with the painting (see below). She has them set up so that as you look up the stairs you see the collection on the small landing.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 37mm. Bombshell convinced my sister that she needed this painting for Christmas on year. The same year that I bought the hatbox (above) in fact. Afterwards Bombshell picked up the additional paintings to compliment the larger one.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5. Exposure time: 1/60. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: 0 step. Focal Length: 38mm. Seems that the only times I can get pictures of Indy this days is if he is in bed playing the x-box. The Terminator this time. He really does get up and do other things, but is not so accepting of having his picture taken then.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5.6. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 55mm. Bling, bling. Bombshell, like most people her age are really into bling. But instead of piling hers into a jewelry box she has a cork board in the dining room where she hangs it all. Kind of neat, I think.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/4.5. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 35mm. While Bombshell may have the 30s/40s vintage look on the landing, it is true Madri Gras style in the kitchen, along with her plaque of appreciation from the restaurant.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5.6. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 45mm. Have been pretty lax about getting pictures of the Princess lately and when the opportunity came up, away I shot. She is getting to be such a ham about getting her picture taken.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5.6. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 55mm. More of the Bombshell's bling. One of the pictures I need for a photo challenge is a heart and when I remembered that Bombshell had a heart necklace on her cork board, I raced right back over to get a picture of it.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/4.5. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 34mm.Bombshell has been collecting souvenir spoons since she was about 10 or 11. Seems everyone picks one up for her when they go out of town or on vacation. Pan and I are just as bad, LOL. But I think she is in need of another shadowbox for them, don't you think?

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/4.5. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 31mm.Ah the Bombshell herself, at her new computer asking questions of Pan about virus protection and such. We are such a computer family.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/8. Exposure time: 1/100. ISO speed: 100. Exposure bias: 0 step. Focal Length: 60mm.Pan is now the new president of our homeowners association. This is a good thing, I think. Except he had me running around getting addresses and taking pictures for the website he is building for it. I think this president thing is going to his head, LOL. Not really, he is going to do a fine job as he really cares.

Canon Rebel XTi. F-stop: f/5.6. Exposure time: 1/20. ISO speed: 200. Exposure bias: +2 step. Focal Length: 55mm.Indy and little MJ. I just happened to catch them watching tv together while I was on the stairs and snapped the picture. I do have a story to share though (about the two of them), but it did when I was taking this. Seems just recently MJ was over and kept calling out Indy's name over and over and over again. Indy turned and told her to shush up. (He's not allowed to say shut up). Bombshell, overhearing this, looked at Indy and said "what do you say?" Rolling his eyes, he turned and said "Puhlease, shush up." While I think it is hilarious, it still wasn't good enough to keep him out of trouble. LOL.
