This is a picture of a flower. I was helping out my mom with her photography camp, and taking pictures. My mom's lesson that day was to take pictures from different views. I tried to get a cool angle of this flower. I took this picture from underneath. I liked the way the light showed the layers of the flower. I just got a new gadget on the main page. It lets you feed fish.

I know I haven't done my blog in a while, but I'll try to do more often. I entered another photo contest and I won. The one on the top took 2nd place in the category animals. The one next to the butterfly took 1st in the digitally manipulated category. The one below the rose took 1st in animals. The prize money for 1st place was $10. Second place did not have a prize.

My Crazy Dog

My dog Ginger, or as I like to call her "Gingy G", is a wild, crazy, hyper, golden retriever. As you can see she likes to get paper and other things from the counter. When she gets off the leash she goes running around the neighborhood like a maniac. She also loves when she gets a new bone. Ginger will chew on the bone for an hour, but the best thing about her is she loves to play with you. She especially likes to play tug a war.

A Visit to Sea World

Yesterday, my mom, dad, sister and I went to Sea World. The first ride we went on was the Journey to Atlantis. My dad and I got soaked. Next, I went on Kraken, a roller coaster with my mom. I went on Kraken two more times with my dad. My sister got bored waiting for us because she wasn't doing anything, so next we went to see Shamu. It was a really cool show. We sat in the soak zone but didn't get wet. I guess we were lucky. After Shamu, my sister and I climbed the rope playground for a while, but we got off because it was too crowded. After lunch, we went to see the seals. The show was really funny except for the end when the walrus the trainer brought out pooped in the water. Finally, we went to see the dolphins. They swam and jumped so fast I barely could see them. I was so tired by the end of the day that my legs were about to collapse. It was really fun to going Sea World with my family. I can't wait to go again.

I took this picture in my front lawn on a hibiscus. I was watching a car go by when I noticed a butterfly on the flower, so I went to get my mom's camera. I only got one shot of it which was too bad. I cropped in on this photo so it would stand out more.

I took this picture at the lake in my neighborhood. I like it because it's balanced with light and the shadow. I also like the water in the background. I might enter this picture in a contest. I am not sure what kind of bird this is but I will try to find out.

Digital Photography Rocks!

I know I haven't done my blog in a while because I've been busy with baseball. Now that summer's here, I plan to take lots of pictures and blog every week.

I bet you were wondering how I did this, well I went to spelling with Flickr. You type in a word and it gives you a lot of cool pictures of the letters in that word so you can choose how your word looks. To send it to your desktop take a screen shot.
