Passion on the Porch

This beautiful passion flower was on my back porch yesterday morning. There's a huge vine that covers part of the garage and has made its way over to the house. These things are gorgeous but they only last a day so you have to enjoy them quickly.

Blue Flowers

Well,another busy day has come and gone without a photo-therapy session so I'll post another shot from the archives.

Aggie muster

Hey all, I really apologize for letting down the team with my long abscence from the blog. My life has been tumultuous for the last couple of months and I just had to sidetrack some of the things that I love to do. I can't say that it's going to be much better for the immediate future but I'm going to put forth the effort to try. I hope you'll forgive me if I post a few shots from my archives just to try to get back in the game. I named this one because the color reminded me of the maniacal attraction the aggies have for anything maroon!

Who Does John Love?

My dusty old Minolta 50 1.7 of course. It's an oldie but a goody, tack sharp and pretty fast. Of course, the Sigma 50 2.8 Macro that I took this photo with is pretty sharp too.

Harbor Tour

My friends, Norma and Jan rescued me this afternoon. They called about 5:00 and said we're going to the harbor, do you want to go? ...heck yeah! We went up on Allen to check out the hatchery situation and I'm happy to report that the hens are sitting the nests. We got a little too close and scared them away but they returned to the nests as soon as we backed off a little. There should be some good baby heron pictures before too long. We also saw the usual suspects...pelicans, gulls and cormorants. There were sunflowers down by the old boat ramp...I know, I know, just lowly, common sunflowers but the colors were so vibrant in the late day sun that I just had to take a few shots. Thank you, Norma and Jan for getting me out and about for a little while!

Chica

Well, another day without getting out for my therapy so you'll just have to settle for another "kid" portrait. This is Chica and she's the baby of the family. She's a wild child and is so full of energy that she almost glows in the dark.

Gimpster

Well, I've seriously upset my picture a day schedule. I've had a multitude of problems to deal with including losing my internet for a week, having no transportation and mostly, involved in a project at work which has left me no time to get out to shoot anything. I took a quick snap of another of my "kids" tonight and it will have to suffice as my picture for the day. It's the only picture I've taken in over a week. I don't know just when my vida loco is going to get back to normal but I'll try to post more. This is "The Gimpster", so called because he was crippled at birth...I couldn't give up on him though and now he's a healthy, active, happy boy.
