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!

Gorilla sighting on Jax Beach.

First Car Wash

I wasn't trying to torture my pup. She loves water, so why not take her to the car wash. My mom came along sat in the back seat so I could get a good video of Stella's reaction. She didn't disappoint! This is a screen capture from the HD video shot with my iPhone 4.

Apple Store

I went to the Apple store with Mom & Hank for their One to One training. My mom wants me to learn iPhoto so I can teach her. I just can't do it. I will never understand iPhoto! I did get some helpful info from the Genius regarding a great video viewing/storing app for my iPhone.

When I first stepped out of the car I saw this major glare on the Apple store. This is exactly how it looked. I didn't convert it to black & white.

When I moved over about 8' to the left, it looked like this ... crazy!

Geese Patrol

Stella makes sure 23 Canadian geese stay in the water!

Busy Sunday

Sunrise fishing at the Lodge & Club with John & Rob.

I love this seafoam pic shot with my iPhone 4 & processed with Photoshop Express.

John's Sputnik sinker

The mentor & his protege.

2 of the 8 fish we caught.

Rob's sinker

John landed a BIG one ... a 10 lb, 22 inch redfish.

 Their facial expressions say it all!

 Nice surf!

Anytime I set up the backdrop, Stella hops up on the couch & awaits her photo session. She LOVES the camera!

 Stella LOVES Rob too!

3 generations!

 So clean & fluffy after yesterday's grooming.

 Hank, mom & the granddog.
