A post dedicated to my sweetie

Our family don't have resolution in 2008. Whatever we do or plan this year, I ask my sweetie to walk with me to focus on our Lord Jesus and everything we do to have a goal to glorify Him on the highest. I ask my prayer partners to keep us in their earnest prayer for companionship in our faith and love in Him.

My cutest Z lion needing zzz......

We have the best new year celebration in taking a Bart train to San Francisco on the Powell exit


and we walked from downtown San Francisco Financial district to Fisherman Wharf. My Z lion is yearning needing some zzz along the train ride on Bart. But he was fine as soon as we got off from the station and met the city with nice view in comfortable sunlight.

And upon the third hotels that we visited and asked for a room to stay overnight, we got the last room in Wharf Inn and later we saw this New Year Eve scenery in Fisherman Wharf

and with fireworks on New Year in Ferry building. It was a very romantic evening for me though the boys got too tired and they stayed on bed while I ventured out the last hour for a photo shoot of fireworks walking from Pier 39 to Pier 5 to catch the fireworks without use of tripod. I was unprepared for the overnight stay and everything came up best without planning and I attributed that evening to the Almighty for his grace to fill my family with a fun evening out with no planning

I thank the Lord for His grace and provision for a romantic and spontaneous evening for my family and I was thinking about my boys and my wife taking those pictures walking alone but filled with joy knowing that they were warm in bed ready for the morning visit to Pier 39 to see the real sea lions on New Year Day morning in 2008.

A close up on the bottle

I am broke ever since the new year. It is contagious after seeing the recent purchases of 21mm and 43mm from forum member. I am broke in the 2nd week into 2008. I took this shot 1st thing on new year day in 2008 after an overnight unplanned stay in San Francisco Fisherman Wharf area. The first thing I left my hotel room for finding breakfast for my two boys and wife, I saw this Corona Extra lying on the rail on the balcony. Of course, I took a shot or two and put down the bottle for the cleaning janitor.

My 1st shot in 2008

That scene is telling me something about 2008, it is all about celebration and getting a little crazy into gear buying. All pictures are taken by a Vivitar 24mm f/2.8 Manual with A setting that I got from eBay for cheap. It is even more plastic than the kit's lens but it is my 21mm limited for now!
