Here's to You 2012

Cheers to the furrows on our brow
To each hard won victory
Cheers to the losses that grew us up
Killed our pride and filled our cup

Cheers to the friendships well worn in
That time nor distance alter
Here's to the sleepers we'll see again
Fine company in memoriam

Open your mouth and sing out your song
Life short as the day is long
I can't leave you my body but I'll leave you a tune
This is my legacy
Cheers to you

Cheers to the passing of our youth
And the death of lust not wonder
A toast to the lessons not yet learned
And to the trials that will teach them

Open your and sing out your song
Life is short as the day is long
I can't leave you my body but I'll leave you a tune
This is my legacy
Cheers to you

Portanovaville: New Years Card 2012 Photo Shoot



As you can see, John is not amused by the shot set up process.


Round 1. I discovered the 10 shot timer on my camera today. And it's perfect for trying to take our own picture, sans photographer. Like the ultimate photo booth it takes pictures in rapid succession, it makes the shots fun to looks at because they play out like a flip book.



I was having a hard time keeping my serious face on - but, 109 pictures later we have something that we think will work. Ha! A photographers best friend really is the trash can. :)
