June (Pt.2) - Cali's Redwoods and Grandparents

If you are short on time, YOU HAVE TO SEE THE MOHAWK pics at the bottom!

So, while the summer began, we bought a second small, pocket-sized digital camera to replace my FOURTH SONY CyberShot!  (The 4th one only began to fail because of its "got-bubbles-poured-on-it" state of suffering.)  We replaced it with an Olympus that is waterproof and shockproof... hoping that it stays together a little longer.  Why am I saying this?  Looking for sympathy.  My photos for July and August have been a real pain to sort through due to quirky time/date stamp issues with the failing camera and (oops) forgetting to set the new one when I opened it.  I know you may not care, but my MAC puts my photos into nice, neat little events folders for me based on the DATE and TIME of the pic... and when the date defaults as 2001, my whole photo-blogging world goes topsy-turvy.  So... I hope to make sense of the next few months, but if not... blame it on the bubbles.

The rest of June (after last month's focus on hair) focused more on TREES!  My parents flew in from Dallas on a Friday afternoon and we headed to California that evening... making it as far as Grants Pass, then spending the next three days in the northern end of the Redwoods.  You may remember our trip there two years ago as we prepared for our adoption -- so much has changed in TWO short years!!

If you are one of my FaceBook friends, you may have seen our pictures.  So, for the sake of time, I'm going to let you follow my FB link (which should be available even if you are NOT a 'booker  <=click here)... and simply give you a few of my very favorites to look at here.
