365 Project

Michael gave me an iPhone for Valentine's Day!  One of the reasons I wanted one is for its camera.  I don't have a lot of time to bust out my real camera, but I'll almost always have the iPhone with me.  It's easy to use the iPhone camera and apps to create an interesting image and upload it to the blog in a couple of minutes.  I'm going to try to do one every day for a year - a 365 project.  It'll give me a few minutes of creativity each day, and hopefully boost my real camera "eye" as well.  I don't know if I'll manage to do one every day, but I'm going to try.

Creepy

Found this photo on Mike's old cell phone - that's some sort of playground tunnel with a plexiglass window.  Lily was being dramatic.  Photoshop and iPad apps made it kind of disturbing looking.
Was trying for ethereal, but my Photoshop and app work on the fax machine photo could work for a horror film.

Office Work

Lily came to the office with me for a little while yesterday. We might have played with the fax machine/scanner a little.

Irene!

Back in December, we got a pre-holiday treat when our good friend from Taiwan, Irene (center), came to visit, bringing along her really lovely friend Teresa (right).  Michael first met Irene when he moved to Taiwan about 25 years ago.   Irene has been a wonderful friend to all of us, and we're so glad we got to see her, and to meet Teresa.

Chez Lily

I found these photos cleaning up my hard drive.  Back in May, Lily decided to set up a restaurant on  the back deck on a beautiful spring night.


Left arrow: line forms here.  Center arrow: bug spray station (for comfortable outside dining).  Right arrow: Baci.
The menu. 
Lily was the waitress, the cook, and the owner.
The kitchen.
Finally, food on the way.
Yum.
