new camera fun

well, december is like totally over but i have had some good fun. my birthday celebrations were great, and i've enjoyed spending the extra time with family and friends. my parents gave me this funky new camera from lomography that i've been experimenting with.

i'm almost finished making my ornament for an ornament exchange/cocktail party that is coming up tomorrow. definitely

posting pictures of that baby, if only to showcase how long it took!

though i've said it before, i'll say it again...i really truly am going to try to post more stuff soon. possibly the tea sandwiches for tomorrow evening as well?

shades of green

just after the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, everything in the yard looked dewy and green.

wino forever

last weekend we went to deaver vineyards in amador county for some wine tasting. they are the makers of my most favorite bubbles, almond sparkling wine. not only was the wine fantastic, but the landscape was absolutely beautiful. bella, the resident pooch hung out with me while photographing the lake.

leaving lake tahoe

well, we have had a really great time here but will be heading back early tomorrow. unfortunately, both cameras i brought had very little battery life, but i was able to get some shots while on our tour of emerald bay today. it's hard to believe i will only be in california for another week!
