Well we have a day here to hit the ground abit before we start running again, we have a very busy week/end. So I am posting some random shots. Yesterday the topic of Mark’s 30D came up. Some of you may know that the 30D has some great upgrade features from the 20D but we have also noticed as well as many others that it seems to have focusing issues. So Mark decided before calling Canon to spend the day playing around with it to see if he can figure out the reason. We checked on OSP our favorite on-line photography board. Found it to be an issue with others as well. It turns out we think that it is sensitive to shake. So we put on one of our IS (Image Stabilizer) lenses and boom that did the trick!…. Now Mark is happy again. But we still want to ask Canon if this is what we have to live with it or is there an adjustment that can be done. If so that would be great! Not all our lenses are IS lenses!!!
Now on to the photos!
Here is my sister Lorri’s family dog Hailey. She is the sweetest thing!!! She is living in a hotel until their house gets fixed. The roof and air conditioner unit fell in after some rain. So while they are getting repaired they live in a cramped hotel. Its a very nice place but 4 people and 1 large dog in a 2 bedroom is pretty tight.
Since we are all LOST fans we got together last night for dinner at Tahoe Joes…yum! and then to the hotel to watch it together. They have like 5 tv’s there it is insane!
While we were there Mark was still playing with the 30 and the IS lens and got some shots of Hailey….she is such a captive subject…hahaha…
Hailey
Okay warning!
Proud Grandma pictures…Here are some recent shots of our daughter Kelly and our grandson….
We used a few effects from Scott Robert’s collection for some of Kelly’s images. We are still learning how to use them since we just got them so hopefully Scott wont see these and say, “holy moly that’s horrible!” We really need to take his class on how to use them! Believe me when I say you have to go to his site and see them done by the master himself…
“The trees of the Lord are full of sap.”
– Psalms 104:16
“Without sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist. Vitality is essential to a Christian. There must be life -a vital principle infused into us by God the Holy Ghost, or we cannot be trees of the Lord. The mere name of being a Christian is but a dead thing, we must be filled with the spirit of divine life. This life is mysterious. We do not understand the circulation of the sap, by what force it rises, and by what power it descends again. So the life within us is a sacred mystery. Regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost entering into man and becoming man’s life; and this divine life in a believer afterwards feeds upon the flesh and blood of Christ and is thus sustained by divine food, but whence it cometh and whither it goeth who shall explain to us? What a secret thing the sap is! The roots go searching through the soil with their little spongioles, but we cannot see them suck out the various gases, or transmute the mineral into the vegetable; this work is done down in the dark. Our root is Christ Jesus, and our life is hid in him; this is the secret of the Lord. The radix of the Christian life is as secret as the life itself. How permanently active is the sap in the cedar! In the Christian the divine life is always full of energy-not always in fruit- bearing, but in inward operations. The believer’s graces, are not every one of them in constant motion? but his life never ceases to palpitate within. He is not always working for God, but his heart is always living upon him. As the sap manifests itself in producing the foliage and fruit of the tree, so with a truly healthy Christian, his grace is externally manifested in his walk and conversation. If you talk with him, he cannot help speaking about Jesus. If you notice his actions you will see that he has been with Jesus. He has so much sap within, that it must fill his conduct and conversation with life.”
Be a blessing today!
Love Kerri
