Shamu Sunday

After a busy Saturday on the soccer field, we decided to take Sunday off and use our SeaWorld passes. With the threat of rain and NFL games on TV, SeaWorld was basically empty which made for a relaxing day. Enjoy the photographs....

Big Thursday

With several storms off the coast heading this way, the surf picked up and the waves were predicted to be larger then normal. With that being said, I was out there this morning before the sun was even over the horizon, trying to stay warm until there was enough natural light to snap some photographs at a decent ISO. The waves were definitely larger then normal but I really had been hoping for larger ones. I'm sure some beaches did have some really big sets but I only had a short time before I needed to be at work so I took what I could get until I couldn't feel my fingers anymore.

Good Ol' Monkey Business

Last Friday I took the kids to the zoo for a little while and got a few shots. They both brought along they're new point-n-shoot cameras that they got for Christmas and photographed along side me. Most of the following photos are either shot through glass or a fence so they aren't as sharp as I'd like, but they're better then nothing.
