Kayla plays spa

Sometimes Kayla was the customer
and sometimes she was the beautician.

She charged $100 for the full treatment so I guess that wasn't just a visit to a beauty salon. But she was willing to accept a quarter for her piggy bank.

Waning gibbous moon

In my quest to get a good moon shot, I saw a clear sky tonight when I went to turn out the lights and go to bed -- so I dragged out the tripod and the XSi with the 70-300mm lens and tried again. This is a serious crop even at 300mm, but not too bad.
