Art Hill > April 1, 2009 Chicago built of Legos My daughter had told me that Legoland had a model of Chicago so I was expecting something that would say, fit on a ping pong table. I wasn't prepared for this incredible display that was maybe 50 feet long. The view above is less than half of the whole thing. The attention to detail was incredible.

Art Hill > July 10, 2009 Water Lily in Our Pond Often these are hard to get right with the dark water, dark red and then the white petals. And, I wish those lilly pads were green instead of yellow. But I'm pretty happy with this shot. I think these blooms are so pretty.
Art Hill > October 31, 2009 Happy Halloween My daughter and granddaughters have been hard a work on jack-o-lanterns. Our whole family was supposed to get together last night so I could get pictures of all four grandkids in their costume. My five year old grandson got the swine flu so we couldn't get together. Alas the kids won't even see each other this Halloween. I think, for a little kid, the two times you don't want to be sick are Halloween and Christmas. I don't think Kyle will even get to go trick or treating. Maybe if he has no fever this morning he can make it out for a little while this afternoon. Update: Halloween is deteriorating rapidly for us. Now Lindsey has the fever and cough, Braden seems lethargic. Only Scarlett is okay for now. So, I'm not going to have much in the way of Halloween costume pictures. Our town has a Halloween walk this morning; Lindsey is going to miss that and probably won't be able to trick or treat. Party at her house tonight is cancelled too. Sheesh
Art Hill > August 4, 2009 Water Lily in Our Pond I had to ship my camera off to Canon yesterday and they think it will be gone for 3-4 weeks, sob. So I'll have to muck along with my old Nikon Coolpix 88. I'm so hooked on DSLR's that I'm kinda bummed. But, in the big scheme of things it's a pretty minor annoyance. One thing that is nice about the old camera is that with the swivel LCD I can take shots from a low vanatage point. For this one I was actually holding the camera below the edge of the pond, Couldn't do that with my Canon :-) Anyway I guess you'll get to see if I can keep up the high standard here without my main stuff. I want to thank everbody for the great response to my last week of posts - I've been having a pretty good run. All of those have moved up pretty quickly to prminent spots on my most popular list.
Art Hill > September 6, 2009 Scarlett listening to a ghost story Lindsey and Scarlett came to our house for an impromptu sleepover. Grandma was telling them a ghost story. I liked sepia for this but didn't want to give up those blue eyes so I chose selelctive coloring.
Art Hill > August 17, 2009 Rising above it all One of these days I promise to post something besides a water lily :-) Thanks to all of you who have commented on my efforts here. I'm glad that I can share my pond with so many people.
Art Hill > June 1, 2009 Clematis We planted this last year and it seems to be thriving.
Art Hill > July 28, 2009 Fireworks over the city I find fireworks to be a challenging subject to begin with. Shooting them from a moving sailboat moves the difficulty up another notch. I brought a monopod and fired away. Lots of shots were no good just because of boat movement but I thought this one came out pretty good. Lots of luck involved. The fireworks display was fantastic - we heard it is even better than the 4th of July and we would agree. Shot from the Tall Ship Windy.
Art Hill > January 8, 2009 Our Street Last night about 8:30. 15 second exposure. Looking North from in front of my driveway.
