Here are some pictures I've taken recently that I like.

Louisville, KY

Louisville, KY - old Downtown

Dad paying no attention as Jack reaches over half of the table to eat peach ice cream off his fork. Hilarious!

something about this picture grabs me. horizontal wood yet vertical picture. brightyellowbaby against somewhat dull background. composing in the bottom corner sort of drags you from left to right.

I love the flow of this picture from left to right, it's like you can see what the rider is seeing. there's a great flow in this picture that I love.

Doesn't helook content like nothing could possibly bother him. droopy eyes, ears slightly relaced. "hey buddy."

Vegas - Day One - Part I

Some of my favorite pictures from day 1 in Vegas.

image from the plane.

yellow flowers at Bellgaio.

pretty flowers.

my fruit tart at the Jean Phillipe Patisserie. It was super yummy. I'm drooling thinking about it.

The U.P. - Gladstone, MI

Here are some shots of Lake Michigan in Gladstone, Michigan. Gladstone is on the eastern border of the U.P. (Upper Peninsula). I had to go there for work on Saturday so after I was done working I stopped for about 30 minutes and took these pictures. It was a pretty dreary day so they pics aren't that glamorous but they conveny the subdued dreary weather and lake of snow and ice. (How sad.)

me standing IN lake michigan

the hardened sand. aren't those color swirls neat?

a lone log. perfect for sitting and just thinking or watching the waves.

This was part of the walkway to the lake. I thought it was pretty with the sand, wood slats, dead leaves and the prairie grass. Nice mix of contrasting elements.

Walkway to the Lake

just a shot of the minimal ice shards on the edge of the lake.

Beautiful flowers

I took these beautiful flower pictures at the Fuller Garden in North Hampton, New Hampshire in the summer of 2005. I think I love taking pictures of flowers the most because they are so beautiful and they don't lip off when you're taking their picture. :)

More State Fair Pics.

Florida 2006

I helped move Aunt Kathy and Uncle Al to Florida. Had an awesome time! I loved seeing Aunt Karen's house and animals. I loved driving through the hills of Tennesse, absolutely fabulous. Loved driving Aunt Kathy's (granny) spaceship. Loved making dirty jokes and comments with Uncle Al (Big Bad Wolf). Loved Siesta Key Beach the best! White sandy beaches, turquoise cool waters...ahh....wish I were back there again.
