Chocolate class Paris

Bonjour ! I had a bit of a problem uploading images the other day. I will hopefully get them up by this weekend. I have one video done... I just need to be able to get that computer on the internet to upload it. I had a blast at the chocolate class. I worked in the kitchen with the chef and got to taste test everything. Yumm Yumm. There is quite an art to preparing chocolate. Everything is done by hand including wrapping the individual chocolates. I also got a big box to take home with me. Well I still have two weeks here and if they make it home they will probably be in my tummy. But in case I have any left over I will share.

Paris take 3 !!

Bonjour from Paris! I arrived this morning and got my luggage [ thanks to the I love baggage handlers tag]. I think this time I picked the best place to stay. I am across the river from Notre Dame. There is a smoothie shop just up the road and lots of little parks. I have a great apt. There is a computer, small kitchen, phone and a nice size bathroom. I will also be posting video on my YouTube account each evening as well as posting here. And can you believe that this summer the mayor decide to set up a beach along the river for the locals...... I guess I will have to shoot some beach portaits in Paris LOL ..... must be a sign. I will put some pics here from today when I get them downloaded.

Space shuttle launched ! Go Atlantis !

The weather has cleared this morning so I can upload the space shuttle images.
At launch time NASA kept saying there were little showers popping up here and there. They can't launch if the weather is not favorable within a 20 miles radius of the pad. We all kept our fingers crossed. I kept blowing the clouds away =) And we were lucky! The shuttle launch was smooth and beautiful through white puffy clounds hanging over the coast. We all wish them a safe return !

Pics) The first pics are of the visitors center near the viewing area. I wish I had one of those 3k telephoto lens.. but alas I only have a portrait lens. There is one pic where it looks like the shuttle disappears into the cloud. I have to say... they had the fastest trip over the Atlantic I've ever heard of... I wonder if they get frequent flier miles.... =)

Oopps

I had to scrub uploading the pics last night because of lighting. I am working on it this morning as fast as the computer will allow ! Keep checking back =)

Viva Las Vegas !

I just realized that I didn't post any pics from Vegas March 07. In these pics you'll see the little red airplane. That's my bro's airplane... her name is Ms. Red Headed Slut. Yep, well he is a former Vegas bartender and he said that's the name of a shot at the bar. We went flying a couple of times. I also took a quick side trip to Seattle, San Franciso, Napa/Sonoma Valley, and San Diego. I wanted to check out the west coast. Enjoy !
PS) The Grand Canyon too. I finally made it there
