Thermal View

He decided to move on for tonight from X-ray to Thermal. Love It!

Evening sky, Home, and X-ray again

Zach seemed really fascinated by the sky as we left Walmart. He even tried to stoping in the middle of the road. Once we were in a safe spot, I let him click a few pictures. Then once we were home, entertained him by letting him snapped a couple more. The last one was his attempt to use the X-ray option in the photo booth again only facing out, now it would have helped if he held it up. Oh we'll trial and error.

Love the cloud formation

Love the progression

Just gorgeous, love the contrast of colors in the sky

Really like this one

X-ray again

Zach really favors this option. He took this one last night.

Salmon Festival, Craft Fair, and Miss Teen Butte County

Here are some pictures Zach took yesterday (Saturday, September 28, 2013) at the Salmon Festival's Craft Fair in beautiful downtown  Oroville.

Hi Rissa, thanks for the balloon

Not surprised by the yellow balloons

Yellow has been Zach's favorite color since he was 5 mos old

All By Myself

Zach's first picture that he took completely spontaneously. Go Zach!

Learning Curve and Hair Cut

Finally got Zach's hair cut today. He has needed it for a couple of weeks. I initially thought we had a few minutes before it was Zach's turn, so I offered letting him take pictures with my phone or the iPad. He chose the phone. He snapped a few pictures and then reluctantly went to get in the chair. He handled it like a champ and then off to Dutch Bros for a smoothie and home for a quick dip in the pool.

Gotta remember to move your finger

Oops moved

Headless

Oops moved again

Finally got it. This is Ryan. 

He is the amazing man that cuts Zach's hair

Thank you Ryan for giving me permission to share the pictures Zach took of you.

iPad Mini and The Photo Booth

After several no's having to be handed out for inappropriate behavior, I was trying to find a way to turn things around. Light bulb moment. Let's explore with the camera on the iPad. He snapped a couple pictures, then hit the button that switches which lens the camera is shooting through. Oops out of the camera app and oh look at that, the photo booth app. X-ray and thermal views explored, then off to play with some his favorite apps.

Rocks, Trees, Checking the Mail, and Grandpa's Car

Attempt number two this morning. Started pretty much the same. Hand over hand, mine over his. Then when I realized he "got" the concept, I was brave and I let go. Click, turn the body, tilt the phone. Repeat. He did this several times. Clicking slowed. I asked "Zach are you all done?" He handed me the phone saying "All done." "Should we look at the pictures?" I ask. "See," he says. As we scroll through I ask him what things are just curious if he had a word or answer. This is what we have.

Rocks (Our Gravel Driveway)

Love the angle

Checking the Mail (changed the angle)

Grandpa's Car

Trees (Hedges along the driveway)

(Would love to know how he did this)

Fingers in the way

Oops covered the lens

This is my favorite.

You can see the reflection of the trees in the

window and in the car. Pretty cool!!
