My Vader skills improved.

I’ve been playing Draw Something on my mobile devices lately. I’m gonna share some of my drawings. I’m posting from my phone, or I’d blur out the words.

I think I’ve improved over time, so I’m going to put them in chronological order.

That’s all for now. I’ll post more later.

This year we sat behind our usual tree in a park in Provo, Utah and watched the higher altitude elements of Stadium of Fire. As usual (for me when taking pictures of fireworks), the focus isn’t quite right, but I think I managed the exposure better than I have in the past. Here are a few of the photos.

My 20-year-old daughter is a mother, which apparently makes me a grandfather. The cool part of becoming a grandfather is that it comes with a grandchild–a grandson in this case. Here is some photographic evidence.

This Christmas my brother-in-law came up with a fun joke to play on my Mom. He gave her a Christmas CD of David Archuleta singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and he asked me to create a fake cover of Lady Gaga singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

He recorded her reaction.

I brightened up my self-portrait and added a few more highlights, and completely reworked the color version.

I’m happier with them now (although there are some pretty rough areas in the highlights if you look closely)…

Tonight I drew a picture of a beaver for my daughter to color.

I think he’s casting a spell on that tree. I have no other explanation for the position of his paws.
