It's my Birthday

This is Josie and she just turned one. Ah, yes, the days of keeping track of here age in months are waining. Before you know it she'll be asking for the keys to Dad's truck and going on dates. Just make sure your firearms in need of a good cleaning when that doorbell rings, Tim.

Ottawa Cruise Night

These are some HDR shots from my local town's classic cruise night. Some of these are quite tight because of the crowd. It seemed everyone was either eager to be photographed or ruin my shot. However, I couldn't resist the two young girls gawking at the purple Mustang. I especially like the reflection of the Corvette in the side of the black Lincoln Zephyr.  My personal favorite has to be the beautiful blue Plymouth 440 GTX.

Barnstormin'

These are a couple HDR shots of a few old barns just south of Seneca, IL on Rt. 170. As you can see, the first barn was erected in 1912 and is still currently in the Maier family. The second barn has some very cool geometric shapes in the architecture. It may be in need of a coat of paint, however.

Hi! I'm new here...

Meet Jordyn Renee. She's quite the little spark plug. She's allowing mom to do the disciplining of Milo for licking me her out of her slumber, at least for now. Soon that tiny little hand is gonna be grasping a wad of his fur and startling him from a nap. Karma.

Flower Power

Camryn has developed quite the green thumb over the past 5 months. I know, I think he's ahead of the gardening curve. He insists it's all about what you put in so he's always watering and pulling weeds. He has even enlisted his dog, Ellie Maye, to help. He's hoping to place nationally for his rose bushes.

Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

This is a pseudo HDR shot of Sahalie Falls in the Willamette National Forest. This baby was raging from heavy rainfall and snow melt runoff from the western Cascade mountains. I found out the hard way that all national forest roads aren't winter maintained when I rounded a bend and ran straight into a foot deep snow drift. Thankfully the rental was a Jeep so I popped it into 4 wheel and doubled back to civilization. That misstep cost me an hour and the first two periods of Hawks-Canucks game 7. Brutal but worth it, wouldn't you say?

It's Always Sunny in Philly

It's always sunny in Philadelphia, except at night, of course. This is a shot of the Philly skyline as seen from the Spring Garden St. bridge over the Schuylkill River.
