April 30th

          Hey everybody, I've decided to post every Friday. Sorry about the no spaces in between anything on my last post. I tried to edit it but it still doesn't want to change. Whatever, at least you can still read it. Anyway, did I tell you that I'm saving up for a telephoto lens for my camera? Probably not. Well here's the picture of the IS 70-300mm USM lens.(Ultrasonic Motor, Image Stabilization.)
It's pretty expensive, but I'll earn the money when I work with my dad this summer. He's a painter just to let you know. He works in a company called Remdal Painting and Restoration. Right now I do have two lenses. One is the IS 18-55mm lens which came with my camera, and the second is the 50mm lens.
           Last post I said I'm taking free photography classes from my Uncle. Because of this, I larned more of the advanced settings on my camera which helps me to take waaaaaaaay better pictures.
            Here are some of the awesome flower pictures I took at a park called Hawthorne Park I recently went to.                                                                              

                                                           

Love them! They are like my best flower pics ever!

What surprised  me was that when I used my flash, it lit up the rose's edges, and added the awesome effects.

             I told you I would post on Friday, but today's Monday. That doesn't matter though, because I just really wanted write it all out before I forgot what I wanted to say. I guess that happens when you love to write. :) Anyway, I don't have much more to say, so have a good week, and God bless.

Bye!

I'm Back Everyone!

Hey everybody! Wow, its been forever since I last posted. I just totally got uninterested in blogging, but now I'm back. As I can see, I've got new followers since I've been on last! Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Thanks for the support. One of the reason I stopped was because I thought no one really liked it all that much. Well, let's get back to the present now, not worrying about the past. Last post I said I would put pics on from my survival weekend, but I guess I didn't really take much at the time. But I can still tell yall bout it. Let me see...Oh yes. We found this old road, only a 4-wheeler could get up. At the top there was a turn in where a perfect little place to camp lay, just waiting for a "mountaineer" to come along and use it to his advantage. I guess we were the "mountaineers." We parked and pulled out the saws to cut down some small trees to build a shelter. As the day grew to a close, we finished off the shelter with a sheet of plastic we brought along, and placed on top, just in case it rained. Finally we finished, then we built a fire, just with a flint and some petroleum jelly to get it started. It was nice out that night. Just sitting by the fire, hearing the wood crackle as we talked about certain things. At last we finally got tired and went under the shelter, snuggling up in our sleeping bags. We lay down on some more plastic because of the wet soil underneath. Slide...We found ourselves on a slight hill, slipping down the slippery plastic. Boy that was sure annoying. When combined with the cold weather, and a slippery underneath, you get real uncomfortable. After a few hours of sleeping, we decided to go to the truck, because it was sooooo cold. By the morning, we were all rested and ready for the day ahead of us. Well, that is pretty much it for the survival weekend. Now onto other subjects. By the way, I'm 14 now! Almost 2 months ago now. Getting older also means new exciting things, like photography classes! That's right. My uncle, a professional photographer is giving me free private lessons! I'm also part of this photography club taught by another professional, except she's a lady. I've learned so much, but there's still alot more to learn. Anyway, it's getting pretty late now, so I should probably go. Oh, one more thing. I've got a Youtube acount now. It's called "SaltyDogStudio." Look it up! Later everyone.

Survival of the Fittest

Hey everybody, hows it goin! Guess What,if you've read one of my most recent posts, it says I was to go on a survival weekend. Well I've just found out that I am going! If you're thinkin that its kinda cold, then I know. Frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzinnngggggggg!! That's why I just got some extra heavy snow clothing. When I put it on, it's like I'm in a slow cooker. In the house that is. It'll keep me ssooo warm. I even got a bow and some arrows to see if I can catch a rabbit or something. Here is a picture of it.

I guess that wasn't too close up, but that's pretty much the looks of it. If you can't see close up enough, the design is camouflage.

I'm also looking forward to the weekend because a friend of my dad has a hunting license. So he's going to bring his gun! I'm not sure what type it is, but I'm guessing it's a shotgun.

Today is a Tuesday, and around lunch break, my mom was chatting with a friend. Her friend put out a link, and the video was hilarious! Because it was so funny, I decided to put it on this blog!! Here's the link. http://www.cesarsway.com/newsandevents/videos/Vote-for-Your-Favorite-Dog-Video-13

If you watched it, tell me what you think of it by leaving a comment.

So, I'll put out another post when I get back from the survival weekend. I'll add some pics and such!! Well, that's pretty much all I have to say for today, so see yah!!
(p.s. can you believe they are playing Christmas music already in stores!)

November the 18th

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I haven't posted for FOURTEEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!! I really got off track this time. Well, my last post stated that I was going to Portland, Oregon, and guess what I did go! :) It was awesome seing all the people that my sisters have been talking about ever since their trip to Poland. I loved to see the Photographers especially! They really inspired me to learn more and take more pictures.

I stayed in a Hotel while I was there, and there was a pool there! I love swimming. It's probably one of my all time favourite things to do.

Guess what, yesterday was our first snow fall this year! It started around the evening some time. My little sister and brother went outside to play in the awesome snow. The snow was so nice and sticky that you could make a snowman in like 5 minutes. Me and my brother made five snowmen in a row, and played target practice. It was awesome! One of the snowmen kept getting hit, but it wouldn't fall over. >.< It got so skinny, but then my brother made a lucky shot and it calapsed. Well, I just found out that I've got a new FOLLOWER!! Thanks Daniel!! Your awesome! I've seen your blog, and its pretty cool. My sister Julia really likes your blog. Here's a picture of our snow fall yesterday evening.

Well, there yah have it. Have fun reading my blog.

Friday, November the 4th

Hey blog followers!! You know how Hwlloween was on October the 31st, well I went to the church party I was talking about last post, and it was awesome! The games were great, and there was lots of candy.
My sister's Birthday was yesterday, and guess what we did, well one of the things we did. If you can't, then I'll tell you. We watched Cars 2! I've seen it in theatres before, but it's great to see it again. Anyway, her Birthday was great, and we had an awesome time. By the way, she turned 8 years old.
You know what I just found out? We are going to Portland, Oregon to see a wedding!! My sister Julia is really excited, because she has some really good friends there she wants to meet again.
This were some of the firework pictures that I took when we released them on Halloween.

This next image is a really neat night photo I took when I was riding in a car.

Well, I don't have much more to say, except that my Dad, and a guy from church are planing a survival weekend some time in the late November or the beginning of December. You know "Surviver Man," well if you haven't heard of it, it is a show about this guy that goes out in the wild with not much at all, and he shows you how to survive. Well that's about what we're planning to do. Not a whole week, but about 1 or 2 days.

Ok, thats it, so see yah. And have an awesome week.

My Alder Acres Adventure!

Hey everybody, guess where I went on Saturday? Alder Acres!! Well if you haven't heard of it, it's a farm that has a pumkin patch, a christmas tree farm, and a petting zoo. My little sister Jessica has Birthday on Thursday, so that's why me and my family went, to celebrate a Birthday!!!!!

Above shows some pics of the Farm, and the 4 faces I carved on my pumkin.
Today is Monday, and of course you know it's Halloween, or as I call it Reformation day. Tonight, the church I go to is having a party! They are going to have games and food and other activities that are going to be awesome! Anyway, that what I've got to say, so have a good day. xD

Oops, Forgot To Post!

Oh dear, I forgot to post on Monday! Looks like I'll do it today. Well let me see, what should I say...oh yes, does anyone know about Dr, Who? I certainly do! XD It's awesome!!!! You know what happened when I tried watching the first episode of the new season on a website, I ran out of minutes!! What I mean is that when you reach a certain amount of time, you have to be a member and pay to watch all you want! >.< grrrrrrr... But there is another way, you can either wait an hour, or get a different computer. We have another computer, but my sister was using it to chat with a friend, so of course it wasn't possible to use. My sister Julia LOVES Dr. Who. She calles it being a "Whovian" when you are obsessed with the show. Here is a picture of Doctor Who!!

Any way, that's it!! But to conclude this post, DOCTOR WHO IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
