Whistler...

Last Monday I had the chance to go to Whistler for a quick 30 hours...left Sunday after church, got up there late afternoon, ski'd on Monday. It was a great trip. Only three complaints; 1) the price of rentals/lift ticket (about $140 with a discount), 2) the long lines (after arriving, we spent almost 3 hours in lines to get our lift ticket and rental gear...thankfully we did this on Sunday evening), and 3) the weather/visibility.

On the other hand, every other part of the trip was GREAT! Skiing (forgot how much I liked it), the company, the sights, etc. Thank you Julie for the gift of sending me! One caveat - I didn't take my camera skiing so there aren't any pictures of that. In fact, all of these pictures were taken Sunday afternoon/evening. Besides the skiing, another highlight was our two meals at the Irish Pub. Great place, great food, great music...highly recommend it!

Lots to look at...as always

Guess what? I found some pictures that I'd never posted from about a month ago or so. Among other things, before we took our Christmas Tree down (in January), we put B's Christmas PJ's back on him for a quick photo-shoot. Also pictures from our visit to Bellevue, a visit to the B'ham Children's Museum, a few from the double-decade birthday, and some other misc images. All told, there are 84 new pictures to be seen (click here)! Below are a few of the best...

What Took So Long?

Er, Uh, not sure. At any rate, better late than never, eh? Four new ones...all here; newest to oldest...

Brennan, Birds, Snow and More

Yes, this post is a mish-mash of stuff. Of course, a few pictures of Brennan including his first time on a sled (he didn't like it too much). Also included are some pictures from a trip that Julie's Dad and I took together...going after bald eagles, but turns out the colorful pheasant was the highlight. And also some pictrures from our recent bout with the snow. Incidentally, all the pictures of snow were shot with my new 50mm lens...so not much on the wide end.

Christmas Images at Last

Our Christmas was a 3-parter; Dec. 24th at Grandma and Grandpa Greene's house, Dec. 25th at our house, Dec. 26-27 at Whidbey. This album has pictures from all 3 celebrations. There's a lot of images which you can see by clicking here. Below are a handful;

New Years Snow-Shoe

Ok, I know I haven't even posted my Christmas pictures...they're coming. But I've already had a few people ask me about snow-shoeing today, Jan. 1st, 2011. So here are all the pics (click here). One caveat - all the pictures were taken with my new 50mm f/1.8 lens - super sharp, but maybe not what I would have chosen for this day. Still, results were great.

And if your'e interested, I went with Steve Runge. We went up to Artist Ridge, from there we hung a left and went all the way up to Artist Point...and seeing we were still doing great on time, we went all the way across Ptarmigan Ridge, to the saddle where you would normally drop down to the lakes (not sure the name). It was a gorgeous, perfect day. Got so hot we were down to t-shirts for awhile.
