Scenes from the Alley

My iTunes: Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional

For my nieces 16th birthday we all went bowling. My sister and her husband rented out a place and invited friends and family. It was cool...especially considering I had just recently posted about how much I loved bowling. This is one of the older places to bowl in Louisville so it was very nostalgic...not new and modern. I got some great images that I will be sharing over the next few days.

I really enjoyed seeing her friends...some I had known since they were kids and some were new friends. They all seemed to have a great time hanging out and helping each other bowl. I had fun exploring the nooks of the alley and since we had rented it out I could pretty much take pics of whatever I wanted. YAY! I got the top image when I asked if I could duck behind the counter and get a pic of all the shoes in their cubbies. And the pic below is of Alex right after getting her shoes. She is a great girl and I enjoyed sharing this moment with her.

Happy Birthday Alex!

I wish we could have been there to share in all the fun! What an exciting time to have granddaughters that are "16". As always, I love your pictures...Mom

In the thumbnail version, the top pic looks like it suffers from camera shake, but after looking at the enlarged version, I see that some reflections happened to fall directly on some of the size labels, making the white dot around the number look fuzzy in the thumbnail.

It's a better pic after clicking to enlarge, for sure.

Oh well, regardless, bowling rocks!

OK. So that pic up top was totally done like that on purpose. :) I am glad that you enlarged it. I really like it a lot.

me.

Anna said...

Mark said...

Anna said...

Lovely photos of a beautiful girl-and I really love the feet-on-the-field shot, too. Your pictures are really terrific.

I love the fuzzy look to the top pic.I know that's TOTALLY how you wanted it to look LOL. And Alex is such a beauty!

Anna said...

Ah so this is the infamous Alex that I heard about from Sadie. It's good to be able to put a face with a name. Bowling is fun, I haven't been for a while though... Maybe I should suggest that to my friends for a weekend out...

That is a really cool effect, and it does look better in the larger version.

Also, I like "Hands Down" as well. Good song.
