I don’t shoot black and white very often but sometimes it’s just the best option, even for me. This shot of Tiki our Yorkie. He was taking a nap while laying in the sun, something we don’t see much of this time of year. He was enjoying it as I got ready to go [...]
I shot a horse today. Yep, a horse. It was fun. I brought out the big gun and fired away! Bam, Bam, Bam – 7 frames / second! You gotta shoot a hores in bursts like that because horses are FAST!
Actually I visited a friend who has a wonderful horse named Cooper that he [...]
While at the lake this weekend we saw a beautiful Great Blue Heron sunning along the bank of the lake. He was pretty willing to pose for a while but then he got tired and decided to fly away. If you haven’t seen a Great Blue Heron then you’re missing out on a BIG bird.
Many [...]
We were lucky enough to get tickets to the local Dayton Dragons minor league Class-A baseball game Thursday night. Our seats were great, along the first base line and just a few rows up from the field. The Dragons play at Fifth Third Field, a beautiful field that is arguably the best thing going [...]
Soccer season is back in full swing and we had our first tournament in Smyrna, TN just south of Nashville. I like to call Nashville, Nash Vegas because of all the lights, entertainment, and fun. We stayed pretty far away from the soccer field out near the airport and close to Opryland. The tournament wasn’t the [...]
We had a short break in the weather on Thursday and Friday. The weather was a regular heat wave – in the 40s! I was able to get out and take a little hike and I found this bull thistle and thought it looked like winter…dead and lifeless but still beautiful to look at. [...]
Today we took a tourist trip of LA. We boarded a tour bus at the front door of our hotel and went on the “Grand LA Tour” where we saw downtown LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and a bunch more neighborhoods and cities. Add in a long list of celebrity homes and you’ve got a full [...]
We drove over to Malibu for a nice seafood dinner on the beach and caught one more sunset. This trip sure has provided a lot of opportunities to capture some wonderfully colorful sunsets. The pictures are below.
There are no plans for tomorrow – yet. But I’m sure it will be something cool.
We spent today sunning on the beach swimming and just being nice and lazy! The weather was again 85 or better and the sun was scorching here 20 degrees latitude below home. Makes me think of the Jimmy buffet song – “Changes in latitude, changes in attitude” – if we could only spend more time [...]
