Garrick enjoying his most favorite spot. He loves spending time in and around the creek...

Sometimes, kids have the most impish grins... Brothers... Eli and Gabe on Thanksgiving.

Dawn in South Florida. I got up early to watch the sun rise. It was cloudy early but then this pattern of clouds appeared.

Congratulations to Kristin and Jim! What a day!! Here are a few pix from a very rich and festive occasion. Here is a link to a short slide show of their wedding day.

Taken while testing a new lens... Used a D100 converted for infrared.

Grandson Garrick sharing a "precious moment" with his dad. So glad we were able to capture the moment.

Francie's Birthday - very special with Grandkids!

Toward the end of the day at Toby's Graduation Party in Lima, OH. I noticed that Matt was giving Garrick a lesson in pool. The light was great and it was a terrific candid opportunity since I was outside and they paid no attention to me. I used my tripod to keep the camera steady. Later I took this shot inside as Francie took over for Matt teaching some of the basics.

At the end of the day, today, the grand kids decided to play on the swing. The light was great and their enthusiasm was contagious.

Returning home from a visit to Lima, OH, the light comming through the clouds caught my eye as we returned from a break in our drive at one of the service plazas.

Today was Jonathan Durling's Open Barn,celebrating his graduation. An accomplished photographer with an extensive portfolio, you can see more of Jonathan's work here.

One nice thing about getting older is that we get to do many of the things only got to wish for when we were younger... I always knew I could fly, just by using gentle pressure from the palm of my hands... Well, it happens in my dreams... Today I have a memory I can share of this one vision.

Last week was Braden's 4th Birthday Party. He had a G-R-E-A-T Day!

Braden and Garrick came to spend the day with Noni. They did yard work and rode their bikes. It's nice to be able to play outside!

Today, was a busy day at the zoo. Lots of activity. Lots of families enjoying the day together. And as they day wore on, lots of tired kids. It was also Autism Awareness Day - so there were special events to educate the public...

Autism Awareness Month - April 2009

• 1.5 million Americans affected

Saturday, I traveled with Earl and Ryan to the Philadelphia Tea Party II. You can see more photos from the day here.

Clark and Katelyn Evan's Wedding Album.

Today was a wonderfully lazy Saturday. With a light drizzle most of the day, I watched the birds. Occasionally there was a little attitude on display...

Sunday was a beautiful day. Warm and a little overcast - no harsh shadows (great for pics). Braden decided it was time to learn to skate. Eli and Ali didn't have their skates today so they did their best helping Braden learn by helping him get back up after each fall.

Mea culpa, mea culpa... I have neglected to keep you all updated on what I've been up to. Sooo in an effort to slowly become more current, here is our featured wedding album. It was done for Julie and Matt Guthier. Hope you like it.

Another session at Stacey's aquarium and another shot of her Demasoni.

After a couple hours of games and playing with the grand kids, I tried to get a few shots of Stacey's fish. This is her favorite a Demasoni (Malawi Mbuna African Cichlid).
