Taylor's Shadow

Here is what I did during Ike's nap today- I took SO many pics during my trip to Charleston and I am finally getting a chance to go through them. I really enjoy my photos, especially, of those I love.


I love this little series.
This is Ike's Great-Grandfather, pretty good lookin' at 90.

Photo Spark

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

In my desire to improve my photography skills, I am constantly seeking inspiration from the wide world of amazing digital photographers on the internet.

One of my favorites is Jessica Claire and she is based in So Cal and her style for capturing 'life' is right up my alley. She has a great blog that gives snipits of her work so I can go for inspiration at the click of a button. As you can see, I have a long ways to go but that is why it is called INSPIRATION :-)

Happy Grandson

I have tons of pictures to go through from our fun-filled vacation to Charleston so stay tuned. For now, you can see that Ike had a good visit with Jimmie & Pepe. Thanks Mom & Dad!

Out on the water watching Daddy sail in the Melges regatta. All Ike says is "GO FAST" while on the boat, as you can see Pepe didn't disappoint. My Dad has the patience of a Saint and Ike LOVES to play with him!

September Vacation

Monday, September 15, 2008

Ike and I are in Charleston where it is HOT, HOT, HOT! Harcourt will be down later in the week for a big Melges regatta but for now Ike and I are enjoying spending time with family, swimming in the pool and going for boat rides. Last night we took the boat to California Dreaming for dinner. This morning Ike and Pepe played and he said "no school" so I think he gets it!

No deer in the backyard here- only dollies!
Headed to dinner

Pepe's Playhouse

Happy Anniversary

Thursday, September 11, 2008

Today is our 4th Anniversary and Harcourt is away in Newport at a boat show. So, here is a little trip down our memory lane from September 2004.

The amazing sunset captured by my friend Colleen Thompson (no Photoshop here)
Oh yes, that is me... spontaneously deciding to serenade Harcourt by singing Patsy Cline's "Crazy"... and yes, I was crazy! But it was fun and memorable!
The honeymoon. We can't wait to do it all over again someday- what a wonderful trip. (don't we look so tan and YOUNG!)
Happy Anniversary Harcourt! I love you!

Hurricane Ike

Tuesday, September 09, 2008

My Dad told me about this cool new site for tracking tropical storms/hurricanes, www.stormpulse.com. I think it puts all the weather stations out there to shame- these graphics are amazing!
By the way, how crazy is it that there is a Hurricane IKE.... all I can say is if it behaves as erraticly as my toddler, named Ike, then Texas better be prepared!

Long Island Sound Championships

Sunday, September 07, 2008

Very big weekend hosting the Sonar Long Island Sound Championships at SHYC. TS Hanna sandwiched herself right in the middle of the weekend but thankfully the worst was in the middle of the Saturday night. A huge pat on the back to Wilber, Harcourt and Ginz for all their hard work in organizing the event. More to come from Harcourt on the details....
