We were privileged to attend the wedding of a couple in our church, and I brought my camera to work on my event photography skills.  I deliberately tried to take shots that captured slightly less-than-obvious angles.  Here’s a collection of some of my favorites in a slideshow:

We as a family enjoyed a full day visit to the California Academy of Sciences, which was completely renovated two years ago.  It was amazing.  From a lush rainforest ecosystem in a glass dome to a fully stocked aquarium, all of us were wowed by the beautiful and well-organized exhibits showing off many of the wonders of God’s creation (though, as one might expect, credit was not given where credit was due).

Here are a few photo highlights of our visit, including a photo of a rare albino American alligator and an up-close photo of a butterfly taken in the multi-level rainforest dome exhibit.
