Calling All OptiBoard Photographers! (Winter 2003/2004)

My son Pierce reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve...

What is this? Well, every day I drive across Tampa Bay on my way to and from work (very therapeutic- except when traffic is bad). The sunset is usally framed in my rearview mirror (when I get out of work before 7)...

Having the T-tops off in January is still pretty novel for this Pennsylvania boy! Life is good...

That almost looks fake!


Nice shot

Pete,
when can Cousin' Cindy come and Christmas with the Hanlins??

[Joann Raytar]

Pete, I see Santa got you a new bike for Christmas complete with streamers. It's red; I would have figured you as more of a black and yellow kind of guy.

[Pete Hanlin]

Actually, that's a bright PINK bike for little Sara (who shows me every new trick she learns on it). Her old bike with the training wheels has been donated to GoodWill... Seems like yesterday I was putting that first bike together...

Cindy,
You can spend Christmas at the Hanlins anytime!


Here's a picture I took one evening when I was taking off from Atlanta. I fly a lot, but I never get tired of looking at the clouds... The interesting thing about this scene (to me) is that it was really stormy on the ground. Once you pop up above the clouds, though, everything is calm and beautiful!

[Pete Hanlin]

Don't mean to post so many pics, but this one is interesting for two reasons...

First, that is our German Shepherd Dog (Duke) enjoy his favorite activity- which is laying around doing nothing (for a dog that's so lazy, he manages to get hair all over the place!).

Second, I constructed that mantle myself about a month ago (I'll post a tiny picture to show what the fireplace looked like before). I drew a rough outline sketch on a piece of paper, bought some lumber, and- if I do say so myself- it came out not too shabbily!

Before...

Wow, big improvement; someone's been watching Trading Spaces and While You Were out.

That's a pretty nice looking job you did there. :)

When you think of sand dunes......and salty air.......

Watching the sun go down over a frozen Cape Cod Bay! Yes folks, thats all ice in the background! Photo taken last night by my neighbor.......It was too cold for ME to go out to the beach!

In August I took the Canal Boat tour on the Richmond, VA canal. I took this picture from the canal boat of some ducks in hot pursuit. Check out this view and the next which is of the same shot with the photo held upside down. I love to take pics and love it when I come upon a happy accident!

[Cindy Hamlin]

Here is the same pic flipped.
