The Danbury Parade

The little burg of Danbury just up the road had their fourth of July parade early and we attended with neighbors Pam and Lois. A great, small town parade and they were not stingy with the candy.

Spring pictures of Nora

The last gallery was of Kai, this one is pictures of Nora that have accumulated over the last few months.

June 14, 2017

It has been a while since I downloaded pictures and posted a gallery. There are a lot more after this to post but I thought I would start with this gallery of images from Nora’s dance recital this year.

Random March Gallery

It is like a brand new website! After months of inattention I’ve revisited the Jacobs family website and update the theme and gallery template. Here are a few pictures to start off with and there are lots more to come – the Mada’in Saleh trip and Kai’s trip to Tanzania are up next.

A Mostly Nora Gallery

Here are a few more recent pictures. This one is a bit heavy on pictures of Nora.

Crystal enjoys the backyard on a brisk evening.

During the crazy rains the snails came out. Nora managed to run one down and catch it.

He was given a temporary home in a bowl in the kitchen.

It was time to let him go. You can see the standing water in the backyard from the crazy rains.

Go free!

Nora getting practice with an umbrella. Not too much cause to own one here but occasionally they come in handy.

Nora hams it up.

This day was blue and red. It started out just red but then she needed to match her shirt.

The first rule of looking good is always know where the cameras are.

Kai and Nora in line for cake after the Court of Honor.

Final Days in Danbury

Winter vacation is over but the photos are still coming off the camera. This is the last major gallery which includes chopping holes in the frozen lake, sledding and enjoying time in the “cabin.” I had such great luck capturing 360 panoramas of the clear night sky that I decided to try the same thing with my Nikon. Much harder to do, especially trying to focus in the dark. Still, I had at least one turn out well that I included here. Enjoy!

I posted some pictures of the Bass Lake sky taken with the 360 camera. This one was a 30 second exposure on the Nikon taken straight up near shore. You can see the trees covering part of the sky. It was tough getting the focus in with everthing so dar

Snow on Bass Lake

Two days before Christmas the temperatures soared up toward freezing making for we, slushy snow that was perfect for rolling, packing, snowballs and making snowmen (and snowowls).
