I just love these little guys.

They even taste good broiled with garlic butter.

Or is it just the garlic butter that tastes good?

Evening Sky

A Day At the Park

It wouldn't be complete without camera in hand.
I should have spent more time on the ground taking pictures and less in the air.
No further information required.

Work Boots

I saw these abandoned in a corner of an underground parking garage.
They were there for months. The owner has definitely worked for a living.
They tell the story all on their own.

This obviously isn't my picture.  Like most people, I am blessed that it is not my life.  Choose your means or methods.  Choose your charity.  Do what you can for those who have less.

The Animal Kingdom

Nature's diversity easily wins out over makeup and great lighting.  Not to mention the camera loves animals almost as much as it loves children.  Most of God's creatures don't have a "bad side".











Camouflage

What dogs?  I don't see any dogs.

                                      The camera adds a few pounds.

                                                                                                                                                                

Watch yer step.  I've already killed once!

Would you trust this cat?

Being this photogenic makes up for being reptiles, I suppose.

Little People

While it may be difficult to corral adults for candid photo sessions, kids are rarely a problem.  Pictures like these are one of the reasons I go nowhere without a camera anymore.  I also make a point of always having business cards handy to ensure the parents have my contact information.   Not only does this break the ice when requesting permission to photograph someone else's kids, it guarantees an opportunity for me to return the favour by forwarding copies of my best shots to them.

All of these shots were candid.  And most were completely unexpected.  Even for me.  Just a moment that screamed "catch me if you can."  I was lucky because I was prepared.  It's not always that way.
