Preparing for the Photography Show Fau Paux

I should know by now (from past experience...) that I shouldn't try new things when I'm ready to fall asleep on my feet. Last night I cut some foam core board for photography pics for the Clinton Arts Show. I spray-glued the photos on the boards and found it was easy and they looked pretty good. So tonight I wanted to finish the rest and get them turned in. If you'll notice in the photo below...there is a can of Krylon spray sitting on the table. The trouble is...it's NOT the Krylon Spray Glue...

(The following was written after the Clinton Days Art Show): I didn't realize I was using the Krylon Crystal Clear Satin Protective, Non-Yellowing Clear Finish to GLUE my pictures on the foam-core board! I walked into the show on Saturday and the person who was in charge of it, Suzanne Pearson (a good friend) made a beeline for me. She apologized for a couple of the mounted photos falling on the floor and and bending the corners. I told her it was not a problem. She then commented that "the person who mounted the photos did NOT know what they were doing - that a couple did not even stick." I said to her: "Uhhh, that person would be me." We both laughed. I then made the connection that I had grabbed the wrong Krylon product off the counter the spray-mount my photos. (Guess that clear spray will stick things together for a SHORT time...) Hopefully when I get ready to spray finish a couple of old pieces that I want to protect the patina on, that I will NOT use Krylon Spray Glue!

Following Myself in My Car

Tomato Bits

It's fun to see my tomato plants starting to grow tomatoes.

Dragonflies

There seems to be more dragonflies this summer. Why? Did the wet spring have anything to do with it?

Biking with Weston and Lacie

We tended Lacie and Weston tonight. Jared and Carrie brought Weston's bike and Lacie's trailer. We went on a long ride on the trail, then let the kids play at Holt's playground.

Weston is the spittin' image on Jared, when Jared was five.

Lacie had no fear of trying anything out.

Big brother...

Bumble Bee

What a challenge to capture a photo of a bumble bee that's not blurry! I'll have to keep practicing! This interesting species has been in my yard the past few years.

Homeshow

A view of Eaglewood Golf course from the deck of a home in North Salt Lake. This was about the best thing I saw at the home show this year. Pretty disappointing - must be the economy.
