Gunner and Chato

This is Gunner, my parents Black Lab. He has to be one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. Well, right next to my Chato boy of course. I took this on Gunners first run out on the farm. As you can see, he is quite happy to be running free.

Chato and Gunner have been best buddies since they were puppies. They are only a couple of months apart. It was fun watching them have a good time together.

Dreaming of Spring

Oh! How I dream of Spring, where the sun is shining, the flowers are in bloom and the butterflys are just taking flight!

More of Belly Dancer

Here are some more of my photographs from Asheville.

Belly Dancer

My best friend Allison and I went to Asheville this weekend and played photo shoot again. We have a friend that let us borrow his studio. I have never shot in a studio setting before, so it was a lot of fun. He taught me a lot about lighting and how to use it.

Allison is a belly dancer, so I photographed her in different costumes. She is just a stunning person and a beautiful model. I love photographing her.

Here are just a few of the photos I took of her. There are more where these came from.

Nothing but Lips!

Yikes! Only a face a mother could love.

Nothing but Lips!

This is Draco, a Great Dane puppy. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get a shot of him moving without his lips being everywhere but where they are supposed to be! I swear they have a mind of their own. Of course, he is always up for making us laugh!

Nothing but Energy!

Kids! So full of life and energy! I wish I could bottle it.

When I look at these photos I realize how I have forgotten how to live life to the fullest. Kids don't know anything else. Life is just one fun day after the other. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to childhood, if only for a few days?

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! I hope that this year will bring much joy, health and prosperity to everyone! For me, the new year brings a determination to make my life better all the way around. I will strive to follow my dreams and enjoy life more. I am ready to turn a new leaf. So, Hello New Year and Goodbye 2008!
