An iPad's view

At the Glen Falls balloon fest I saw somebody taking pictures with an iPad. For me it still is an odd look to see somebody holding up the screen. But.... it was nice to see the double view ;-)

The plane

Today the President visited NC State University and Apex, NC. In Apex he visited a company that happend to be next door to where my husband works. So I took a peak... And that was just about it, a peak. No real sighting of the president, except for the limo.



Had to do some business in Raleigh too, so I did stop at RDU (Raleigh/Durham airport) and was just in time to see Airforce one take off!





Now that was fun!!! Can scratch that off the bucket list...
See Air Force one take off V Check ;-)

Ok, one more waterlilly

One more picture that I made @ Duke gardens recently. The water of the lilly pond is so dark and sort of mysterious, which adds a nice background to the pictures made there. I really, really like that garden! An extra addition to this one, was a dragonfly that took a break on one of the petals of the lilly.

Serene simplicity

at its best in nature....

Just a few

hours in time can make such a difference!

5:00 pm this afternoon... Here she is.... Miss Irene, the hurricane!





We are located just on the West border side of where Irene is passing through NC. We are lucky....., we got a big cloud that poored the rain on the streets this afternoon. But it stopped after an hour or so... And out came a beautiful sunset. With up in the air Irene's clouds to the West! So around 8:00 pm same sky, totally different colors...





We are so lucky that we are just enough to the West of it. Our thoughts go out to our Eastern Carolinians!

Little girl.....

Peeking through the window......

Treasured memories

Quality time with family visiting from overseas, need special attention....
