Sunflowers

I always love sunflowers, but this is the first year ever I planted my own sunflowers.

Well, actually, these are seeds from the bird seeds.. but the flowers are still sunflowers! Not bad :)

Vegas, baby!

Went to Las Vegas last week and avoided the 117F degree heat by walking around inside the Strip's hotels and enjoying the interior decorations -- Stella

Our first follower!

Yay! We have our first follower (Richard) and this friend of ours is a great photographer. Can't wait for him to give us real critics..instead of his "They are nice" comments. -- Stella

Birthday Party!

My daughter turned three yesterday and we threw a small birthday party for her. This was my favorite picture out of the bunch. She was hugging her best buddy and said thank you for the presents (or did she mean presence?) -- Stella

Lucky

I haven't posted a picture of my other dog yet. We named him Lucky, with a hope that he'd bring luck to us. He brings joy and happiness for sure :) -Felicia

Bugs

I don't really like bugs, but there are some beautiful bugs out there waiting to be photographed. - Felicia

Happy 4th of July

Picnic and Fireworks at Lake Zurich, Illinois. -- Stella

Dog

Stella posted a picture of her dog, this is a picture of mine. -Felicia

Navy Pier

When people go to Navy Pier, one of the tourist attractions in Chicago, they love to take pictures of the Navy Pier and Chicago skyline that includes John Hankock or Willis Tower (previously the famous Sears Tower). I prefer to take pictures of something other than the ordinary. -Felicia

Flowers

I love gardening, so we'll see a bunch of flower pictures taken by me (Felicia) :)

Daddy and Girl in a Garden

Garfield Park Conservatory, Chicago, Illinois -- Stella

Disney World

The happiest place on Earth! Unless you bring a crabby toddler with you... -- Stella

Photoshop

I learned to play with Photoshop 2 years ago and I loved modifying pictures. Nowadays, I am happier with being able to take super sharp pictures with awesome bokeh, no Photoshop needed. -- Stella

Yes, I am a NKOTB fan. Who's with me!

Polaroid effect from one picture.

Faking Lomography with Photoshop.

Cookies, anyone?

Felicia's other passion : baking doggie cookies. -- Stella

Hot Dog

My old little hot dog. -- Stella

Girl with Trumpet

My object of affection, my soon-to-be 3 yr old daughter, and her favorite toy. We got that noisy little thing (the trumpet, not her) at Narita Airport. -- Stella

Yellow Sky

Took this picture after a huge thunderstorm in my area. I never saw the sky this yellow before! -- Stella
