A post in honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day
Even though it’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I’m not going to write in Pirate-ese. While I know the intention is to be silly, I still feel a bit too silly to do so. So instead I’ll post the pictures I took this summer in London of the replica of Sir Francis Drake’s Golden [...]
Reno Balloon Race, Day 2
Here are the rest of the pictures from the Reno Balloon Race. I didn’t take nearly as many on Sunday, mostly because I wanted to just sit in one place (ok, more or less) and enjoy. I’m still working on my grand plan to get to ride in one of the balloons next year during [...]

The Great Reno Balloon Race, Day 1
Last week I decided more or less on the spur of the moment to go to The Great Reno Balloon Race. Both of my photography groups were going, and I figured it sounded like fun, so why not? I mean, it’s not like I never go anywhere fun… ;-) Seriously though, I’m SO GLAD I [...]

Teasers 001, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie.

Anyway, I had to post just one picture while [...]

A few neat old odds and ends
Some neat old odds and ends from my visit to the California Auto Museum last Saturday: . . . . According to the docent I talked to, this was the highest-selling Model T ever a few years ago–I think he said it sold for $73,000. Nice. It’s one of only a handful in existence of [...]
1906 Ford Model K Touring Car
Like I mentioned yesterday, over the course of the next few days, I’ll be posting some pictures I took of the classic cars at the California Auto Museum this past Saturday. Normally I’ll mix things up, like I did yesterday, but today I’m sticking with only one car, because someone said that it made his [...]
It’s classic cars week here at HowISeeLife.com!
Today I went to the California Auto Museum downtown for a photography workshop, where I was fortunate to spend several hours there having fun looking at the gorgeous cars and talking to one of the docents. While I don’t really care about a car’s performance (well, except the one I’m driving!) I’m a sucker for [...]
Random walk around my neighborhood
This was one of the last days I had the wide angle lens before I had to send it back, and I was determined to get a few more pictures. . . . . . .
Wide angle fun, day 2: On my street
A couple fun things from my street: . .
