Perth Royal Show 2014 : The Fireworks
Last year the biggest surprise after Horsepower was the how amazing the fireworks were. This year, on our second attempt of that week, I tried to get some photos and a movie. The video camera battery died on me or something went wrong, so here are the photos, and a...
Perth Royal Show: The Fireworks
In the night, we knew there would be fireworks, but John kept warning me not to expect much. (I was so impressed by the fireworks on Australia Day). The evening’s activities were so much fun, Oz Rocketman and Horsepower, that it didn’t matter to me if the fireworks were good...
Fireworks Early
Yesterday, a day before the usual July 4th celebrations we went to a local park to watch fireworks. This was a tad stressful for me in the sense that years running now, I haven’t really had successful fireworks photographs for my efforts. I am happy to say this year was...
Autumn Orchids and Buddha’s Birthday
So I read there was going to be a celebration of Buddha’s birthday in Perth and expressed an interest in going to John. You see, they were going to have a whole day’s celebration of Buddha’s birthday, and it ended with fireworks, which was my real motivation for wanting to...
Laser Valentines
So Valentine’s Day came upon us, our 4th as husband and wife. We went to Perth’s Laser show. Deciding what we were going to do was another thing. We had missed last Valentines together. We couldn’t let this one just go by without some sort of celebration. We decided to...
Australia Day 2016
We missed last year’s Australia Day. This year, we decided to go South of the river and meet up with The Olsens.For our photos this year, we thought it might be interesting to have the City of Perth to look at with the fireworks. At last it was time for...
Perth Royal Show 2014: Horsepower
One of the most fun parts of the Perth Royal show is the fireworks and the show they have before the fireworks, Horsepower. This year, though, before the Horsepower presentation, we got to have a photo shoot of all the riders before the show. The reason for that was because...
We Still Do Sunsets
Things you remember as a child… My mom turned on the movie Born Free one evening, she made a big deal out of it, and I was instantly in love with lions and of all things, the Indian Ocean. There was one part of the movie where the lion cubs...
Veles e Vents
Xarxa Teatre from Spain, put on a performance here in Perth of Veles e Vents. Thanks to a friend letting us know about the event, John got hit with the idea almost right about coming home time. 🙂 He agreed to take me. The performance is inspired by the work...
Perth Australia Day Skyworks 2014
Australia Day, 4th of July, for me, it’s all about the fireworks and always has been. John is learning that I will do about anything to see a good fireworks show. This week at home, (it’s been very hot out, even people who have lived here most of their lives...
The Fourth
This July 4th we had the usual BBQ and family time. Laura did something a bit different for the holiday and took Alejandra and Synara for a hike to Patapsco State Park. After dinner, we dashed to get the slurpees and then off to the fireworks in Annapolis. This year...
Australia Day in Perth 2013 (Part 2)
So even though John and I will be married a year next month, I don’t think he realized what a fireworks nut I am. I was getting more excited as the time came near for the fireworks. The it began, the event I had been waiting for, perhaps since John...
Australia Day in Perth 2013 (Part 1)
This was to be my first Australia Day, and I was quite excited. I had already seen many of John’s photos of the event in years past and knew as much as I love fireworks, I was in for a real treat. We went into Perth way before the fireworks...
Our Independence Day
We had a quiet 4th of July this year. We had some tennis watching time, swimming, and cookout. Alejandra and Miquel played tennis. After that, a good American tradition over a fire, Smores.
Happy 4th!
Like last year, we went to the Baltimore Harbor for fireworks. This year had some differences, we had Enric, Miranda, Silas and baby Rubà with us! However, this year, Miquel had to work, and no Jenny either. On Chrissy’s side, we had Jim, Johnny, Britney, Adam, Sophia, and Cameron…but no...
Our Fourth
Our July 4th started with a sit-down family lunch of Tortilla de Patatas. With everyone’s tummy happy, we decided to get some tennis in before heading out to the harbor. Already happy to have spent most of the day with my two children, I showered and looked forward to meeting...
Disco Swimming Pool
When Laura and I made our trip to Wisconsin, we saw an item in the SkyMall catalog on the plane for a floating light for a swimming pool. Today, as we needed something for the pool, we went to the pool store and found the same light, but for about...
Old Photos: People
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” Karl Lagerfeld So for better or worse, here are some random photos of people doing life. Some candid, a few posed, but all a moment in life.
Our Independence Day
We had a very sweet July 4th. The weather was sunny and great, the pool water was not too cold, and my sister and her husband came (fixed the bathroom fixtures, which was very nice!) and we had a cook out; all the usual, grilled barbecue chicken, hamburgers, corn on...
