I use a Sony DSLR A200. It’s about 6 years old. I use the factory lens, but I also have some macro lenses that are collecting dust. I studied photography for a couple years in high school too, so I like to pretend I understand what I am doing (amateur!)

 scissorsandthread: Violet Ice Cubes | Design Sponge I know some people might think flowers in ice cubes is a little frivolous, but they’re so pretty that maybe it’s worth it! Perfect to pretty up Summer drinks (just make sure the flowers are edible - you don’t want to add flowers that might have been sprayed with insecticide to your drinks!)

My Flickr account if you’re interested. Mostly travel, baby, and food!

 Listening to enka (Japanese country music)…she loves it!

Just what are you planning to do once you take all of Kai’s clothes out of the drawer…?

I moved the exersaucer into the living room so I can sit still for a minute since Penelope has been getting into all sorts of places she isn’t supposed to go. We have to figure out a way to hide the internet tower and discourage her from trying to chew on the doorframe. Babies are more destructive than dogs!  T__T
