Day 3: OC Chef's Challenge

 
Tonight we went to the OC Chef's Challenge & sampled some fantastic food.  The Raspberry Crunch Cake Dessert pictured in these 3 photos was delicious.

The hands down winner of the evening was the Lobster Meatball with Mushroom Risotto from the chef at k'ya.  I would have taken a few photographs of it, but it was so good that the food didn't stay on my plate for very long!

The August Break 2011: Day 1

August 1

Post a photo on your blog every day in the month of August...sounds like a fun challenge....I'm in!  The August Break 2011 challenges you to post a photo every day to your blog using any sort of camera.   These flowers are everywhere in our neighborhood & I shot this with my iPhone while walking to the beach.  I then used the fantastic app Instagram to add a few effects.

The beach this week

There are always so many different types of birds at the beach.  I love watching them, especially when they are running in and out of the water as a group.  This handsome group appeared to be running formation drills on the beach.

Photo Transfer Project

Here are a few photos of a mixed media canvas I did using a photo shot in Venice.  I started by transferring the photo onto a canvas with gel medium.  Next I used a combination of pastels, markers, acrylic paint & modeling paste.  Currently I've got several new canvases in process, and will post photos of them as soon as they are finished.

The beach this week

It was absolutely gorgeous on Thursday & Friday with temps in the 80's. I grabbed my sunblock and headed to the beach to try out my new point & shoot camera. I love the camera! The Canon Powershot SX210 is just perfect for the beach. It is so much smaller & lighter than my DSLR and I love the LCD display. I'm going to start carrying it with me all of the time.
