Thursday iPhone Pix

After I backed out of my garage this morning, I jumped out of my car to shoot this shadow on the front of my house.

I had a really bad headache when I went home for lunch, but Stella managed to make it better.

After work, Stella showed this duck how she feels about trespassers. This was shot right before the duck took off.

The master of her domain ... keeping the yard free of intruders.

Stella & Her Sticks

 Stella LOVED all the dead branches I pruned off the bushes!

Backyard Sky

Yesterday at lunch time there were some weird clouds emanating from Anna & Tyler's house.

Then after work, there were some crazy clouds on my side of the lake.

Tonight there was a nice sunset out back.

Playdate with Logan

I'm starting to think this blog should be called istella instead of icaryn!

Today I asked Stella if she wanted to go play with Logan. Of course she pulled me right to his house. They make such a cute couple!

Logan posed poolside.

Luckily neither one ended up in the pool, but Logan had two close calls.

Saturday Errands

Today Stella went to get groomed.

After I dropped her off, I went to run some errands. There was a nice blue sky so I made a quick stop to snap a few pix of the retro McDonald's with my iPhone. This one is untouched, except the border was added in Photoshop Express.

Post-production for this frame was done on my iPhone using Camera + & Photoshop Express.

Then I did a little shopping. I was shocked when I found this Wheaten art that highlights two of my passions ... Stella & coffee.

Of course I needed to get Stella's approval when we got home.

Beach After Work

The weather was gorgeous after work. I knew Stella was getting groomed tomorrow, so I picked her up for a trip to the beach. I'm not sure what she liked more, the ride there ...

... or frolicking in the surf.

Backyard Rendezvous

Luke was in his backyard, saw Stella & ran straight over to play. Stella looks like she's about to kiss him.

I think they both wanna go inside.

Pool Party

The azaleas in my front yard are in full bloom. Too bad they only last about a week.

I took Stella over to Chris & Beth's house to check out their new pool. Stella loves water, so I was curious if she'd jump in.

She mostly watched Trevor do belly-flops & swim around, but she wasn't afraid to get her feet wet.

Tired after a busy day chasing Trevor & Shelby, she rested her head on Rob's shoulder while watching tv. It was so sweet.

Stella & Her Boyfriends

Luke & Stella had a playdate after work today.

Yesterday Stella went to Hank's house after work. My dog has a very busy social schedule!

Crazy Storm!

Today started off with a beautiful blue sky & the United States Army Special Operations Command 'Black Knights' parachuting in during the Military Appreciation Day Ceremony.

Shortly after, a massive, destructive storm moved in. This is the remnants of the giant leaderboard on 18.

This is what it looked like yesterday!

It was nuts!

The wind toppled two TV towers sending the camera that was on this platform into the lake.

The giant leaderboard on 18 ... before & after.

BIG Birthday!

Today has to be a better day. Yesterday we had four fire alarms on property. The first alarm lasted 4 hours & blew up my strobes. When I saw smoke was billowing out of them, I knew it was time to rent some lights.

Happy "big" birthday to me! This mini chocolate dessert was fab!

After four days, there were a lot of player autographs on the pin flags.

The sun goes down over TPC Blue Monster.

Stella & I got to FaceTime after my birthday dinner. Thanks Rob!

Doral Details

Today I shot a bunch of details with my iPhone, to pass time while waiting to shoot player headshots. Here's a pin flag.

The guest services directory in my room at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa.

Mini raspberry tarts in the dining room.

Happy First Birthday to Stella & Her Siblings!

Stella is such a good sport! I think she really likes her party hat & birthday bandana.

A year ago they looked like this ...

6 weeks later ... adorable Teddy, Bretton, Stella & Bailey.
