Gone fishing!

2 Years + Photo 322 - August 31

No charters for Captain Dale and Kitchen Pass today, so we went out and did some family fishing. We even caught a couple!

Sedum!

2 Years + Photo 321 - August 30

They are not quite in bloom yet, but well on their way!

Take your close up!

2 Years + Photo 320 - August 29

Love my close ups on the flowers... They will be coming to an end way too soon with fall just around the corner.

Vanilla flavored

2 Years + Photo 319 - August 28

If flowers came in flavors, this cone flower would be vanilla...with sprinkles.

Looking inside again...

2 Years + Photo 318 - August 27

More peeking inside...today it's a day lily.

Inside the hibiscus

2 Years + Photo 317 - August 26

It always amazes me what I find inside the flowers.

Hanging out on the sunflowers

2 Years + Photo 316 - August 25

And what else would you do on a late summer morning?

Resting comfortably

2 Years + Photo 315 - August 24

In his tshirt so he leaves his incision alone, Trigger is doing nicely.

It was a stabbing...

2 Years + Photo 314 - August 23

The perpetrator is still at large, but surgery was performed this morning and the patient is on the mend. We're still not sure exactly what he cut himself open on, but it sure was nasty.

Out my work window

2 Years + Photo 313 - August 22

I think I get just as many photo opportunities out my window at work as anyplace else...probably makes sense since I spend so much time there!

Little bit of dew makes a masterpiece

2 Years + Photo 312 - August 21

These little pockets of spiderwebs are all over the yard...and the morning dew sure makes them quite a work of art.

Even if they are weeds...

2 Years + Photo 311 - August 20

They were so pretty I needed to take pictures of them...before I pulled them out.

In bloom!

2 Years + Photo 310 - August 19

These belladonna lilies bloom like a late summer surprise, since all of their leaves come in the early spring and already die back well before the blooms appear.

I'm a pretty boy!

2 Years + Photo 309 - August 18

And I can even hold still (sometimes) to have my picture taken!

They fit!

2 Years + Photo 308 - August 17

Well almost...or maybe not quite...but I sure do love Mommy's shoes!

Congrats to the bride-to-be!

2 Years + Photo 307 - August 16

Bridal shower! We celebrated our beautiful bride today - she even got dressed up for the occasion!

Back on the field

2 Years + Photo 306 - August 15

It's been a long time since I've been able to take pictures of James playing soccer. He was pretty excited to participate in the alumni game tonight - he even got an assist.

Focus

2 Years + Photo 305 - August 14

Trigger has no shortage of focus. Not sure what he's zeroed in on, but he sure is intent on watching it.

Sunset over volleyball

2 Years + Photo 304 - August 13

It's too bad that I never have my camera at volleyball, because some of the photo opportunities are beautiful.

Minnie!

2 Years + Photo 303 - August 12

She is a very well-loved Minnie, or "Ninnie" as Edyn calls her.

Thanks Papa!

2 Years + Photo 302 - August 11

Yup - thinking that hat and glasses look better on me, Papa!

Out on the lake

2 Years + Photo 301 - August 10

It was a beautiful day on Lake Michigan today!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

2 Years + Photo 300 - August 9

Edyn enjoyed helping make her daddy's birthday cake today!

Thinking...

2 Years + Photo 299 - August 8

I'm not exactly sure what she's thinking about, but I liked the expression on her face and the focus.

Playing with low light

2 Years + Photo 298 - August 7

I was really happy with the outcome of this picture, considering it was handheld and the light was almost non-existent. Plus the fact that my subjects weren't too keen on holding still.

Almost done...

2 Years + Photo 297 - August 6

This year brought a bumper crop of raspberries. Edyn and I seriously enjoyed them.

In the backyard

2 Years + Photo 296 - August 5

Flowers, kids and dogs...

Trinka's ball...Trigger's ball...

2 Years + Photo 295 - August 4

Trigger is a ball hog, and he can actually fit 3 of Trinka's balls in his mouth at the same time. So James got him the monster sized big ball. Trigger can still get both of these in his mouth - he is one talented boy.

Breakfast time

2 Years + Photo 294 - August 3

Edyn loves her breakfast! Especially when it's out of Mommy's bowl.

Hello Gunner

2 Years + Photo 293 - August 2

Gunner has made himself pretty comfortable, too, since they've gotten here. He likes the view he gets from the staircase...and he likes to nap there too.

South Pacific!

2 Years + Photo 292 - August 1

It's always a pleasure to be able to watch summer theater - especially when Renee's in the show!
