Columbus Zoo- non group pictures

This was located right after you entered the zoo


kim and i taking a picture of ourselves, which we do often...we want to capitalize on our exquisite beauty.


kim and parker on top of a fake mushroom...it was like hard foam of some sort.


this was located in the Asia part of the park. kim thought it would be a fun thing to poise on.


now parker and kim are poising.


a fun reflective door...kim likes to take pictures with them...don't ask, i don't get it.


parker and me poising next to the wild hogs


parker on a hammerhead


me balancing on a sting ray


kim enjoying the ride on the sting ray




parker loves the bears...especially the polar bears


close up of the polar bear bronze


kim and parker next to a baby elephant...well a bronze one anyways.


kim kissing a bronze komodo dragon


parker petting a bronze komodo dragon


me hugging a bronze komodo dragon


a weird cut out that we took a picture next to...the weird perspective is due to me putting the camera on an end of something and putting on the timer to include all of us in the picture.


parker and i next to a bronze gorilla...maybe a silver back.

Check back the 2nd of may...I am not allowed to upload any more photos until the 1st of may on flickr(I am out of space this month). The next blog will be on the Film Exhibit and then slowly I will do post of pictures of what I saw at the zoo(there will be a few posts on that)

Flowers at my house and at the zoo

this is a picture off the covered porch(there is a non-covered and a covered porch on this house)


a closer shot of the flower


this is another type of flower bush/tree, but I just like the contrasting purple flower with the yellow and black butterfly.

Below is from the zoo:

this picture was taken by kim in the middle of the adventurous day at the zoo


this is a picture I took of the same tree...hint my picture is better.


i also took this picture, I like tulips...hint to the next picture


more tulips...love the colors they produce on their pedtals


just some sweet little blue flowers

the film festival and my zoo day trip will be coming soon.

my beads that i created...and two more photos

here is all my beads in a row...the pictures below repeat because i took them farther up and closer on different background, just to make sure you see them clearly


the purple one to the left is broken in half...it happens when you try to get them off the metal sticks(about a foot long)






the pictures with the pink background was taken early this morning in somewhat of a hurry so i took the ones with the black background now when i am sitting in the library when i am trying to get small tasks done before i do more research







i tried to put the beads in a ascending order that i made them. i did the glass bead making class one two different days...the pink background in the green, white and black bead...the black background middle bead is the orange, a little yellow, blue, and turquoise bead.


these other two pictures were taken today...as i am driving to my house i am living at this view is in the middle of that drive. it is the view of Athens from afar. it was such a beautiful day out i had to stop and take the picture. so here it is:




upcoming post will be about my work on an exhibit. this exhibit goes along with the Athens International Film Festival that is starting this week. the article belong is a short synopsis about it, click here.
