We did a little running around today.  Some snaps from Central Market (before being told to put the camera away) and then dinner at Chuy’s.  Glad to have Courtney back up and around after her time in the hospital earlier this month

I got to put Chase to bed tonight, and he was all smiles . . . still excited about the loss of his teeth and his newfound wealth from the Tooth Fairy.  Maybe it was because he couldn’t wait to show everyone at school the next morning.

We started the morning with some breakfast at 59 Diner (Chase’s pick).  Chase was still happy about losing his second tooth in as many days.  We did some shopping at the Gap and got him some shorts for when it gets warmer (which should be soon enough in Houston).  Later in the day we spent some time in the local part letting Chase stretch his legs for a bit.  What a nice day

I had some more play time with my Nikon D3s, so I snapped a few pics of Chase winding it down before going to bed

After spending some time at Katy Mills Mall, we stopped by 59 Diner on I-10 for some lunch.  Nothing big, just another nice weekend with my girl and boy :)

In preparation for some new announcement by Nikon showcasing a new EVIL camera, I bought a new body cap, the Nikon BF-1B from B&H.  These pics are a comparison with the current cap.  Hopefully this will keep me from being confused with a potential new format.

The first thing I notice is the prominent “F mount” moniker on the front of the cap.  This is what is causing the rumor of a possible new mount.  It is noticeably thicker as you can see from the profile picture.

While I do not have a picture of the mating, coupling the BF-1B Body Cap with the LF-1 Rear Lens Cap seems to fit snugly, while the BF-1A does not, it comes loose.  I am awaiting delivery of the LF-4 to see what the new Rear Lens Cap will do.

After dinner, a stop at Donovan Park in the Heights was in order. Chase got to play for a bit, and Courtney got bitten by some ants.

Today we went to have dinner at Onion Creek off White Oak.  The food was awesome, and the company was even better.  I have been shooting daily with my new 24mm f/1.4G and it never fails to amaze me.

Tonight I took a drive to Chappell Hill to take some pictures of the stars.  It was the first real low light test of my Nikon 24mm f/1.4G lens.  The pictures were taken about 10:00pm, so it could have been darker, but the lens was flawless.  I will be trying the same thing again a little further out next month.
