Guana with the Pups

Anna & I took Stella & Hank for a romp at the beach.

Shake!

 BFFs frolicking in the surf!

Stella doesn't even want the ball. She just wants to chase Hank.

 Everybody had a great time!

It was really hard to wrangle Stella to get her leash back on. Even though she was exhausted, I don't think she wanted to go home.

The ride home.

Greg & Tory

Tory was exhausted after a playdate with Stella.

Valentine's Day Sunset

4 Amigos

The 4 amigos ... Stella, Hank, Tory & Luke had a nice playdate in the forest. Somebody strikes a pose whenever a camera is pointed in her direction.

Tyler & Greg didn't think I could capture them all on my iPhone. C'mon! I'm a professional!

Which one is trying to bribe the treat holder?

On my car window ...

Gotta Getta Gecko

This little fella was making Stella bonkers all day

Snow Pup!

This is Bailey, Stella's twin brother. More importantly, this is what Stella would look like if she got to play in the snow. I know she'd love it but I'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen!

Tree Trimming

I had all of my big trees trimmed today.

Stella was intrigued by the chainsaws & the trimmings.

This is like a buffet!

Yum!

R is for rust!

Flock of Foto Ducks

There's plenty of room for a lot of ducks in my new swanky office.

Stupid Lightbulb

How many people does it take to change a lightbulb? Three: Greg to get the extension ladder down from his garage ceiling via a very cool pulley, Rob to transport ladder to my house, extend ladder & change bulb & me to hold the ladder still. Yeah, I know I didn't do much. Who builds a house with a 25' high outdoor hi-hat fixture?

It works! Thanks Rob!

Stella & Tory watch Rob, Renee & me survey the future pool.

Stella is wondering why Rob is photographing the duck instead of her.

Brrrrr!

I awoke to frost on the garbage can in my driveway. After I shot this photo, I captured a young male Wheaten Terrier on the run without a collar in my neighborhood. After some investigating & help from Anna, Logan was reunited with his family.

Stella was not happy with the Great Blue Heron next door at lunch time.

Jax Beach Pier

It was a beautiful yet cold day for a walk on Jax Beach with mom, Hank & Adam. Shot with the iPhone 4, processed with Photoshop Express.

Rob's Birthday Waffles

Rob made a slice of 4-layer birthday cake waffle, complete with candles.

Stella didn't even try to eat Adam's waffle when I photographed it.

Ilona made a beach ball waffle.

Matt likes to create his waffles based on current events. Here's his Kim Jong Il waffle. LOL!

Stella Meets the Beckers

Andy, Valerie, Sandra, Molly, Ashley & Wendy stopped by to meet Stella on their way to South Florida.

Fall Foliage?

At JAX airport.

Lunar Eclipse

Rob, Stella & I were out in the backyard from about 1am-3am shooting the lunar eclipse. I shot this sequence with a 500mm f/4 handheld. It was 34 degrees outside. Brrrrr! Rob put the whole thing together in Photoshop.

Player of the Year

Chris called me to see if I could help him with his Jim Furyk shoot this morning. There's no better prop for a self-portrait than the FedExCup.

Chris shoots some iPhone pix.

Reflector filling myself for a test shot.

Looking Out

I never get tired of shooting Stella in her morning ritual. She usually just sits there staring outside & sniffing the fresh air for about 10 minutes before she goes out.

Paws Park

Lazy morning lounging on the couch.

Stella's favorite activity was rolling in the dirt. She was so happy.

I'm not sure who's the biggest poser ... Stella ...

... or Rob!
