“We’re Aunts”

Like Skipping Stones

I think it’s kinda cool how despite the cool water effect of the kids running on water, the girl in red dancing on water upstages that.

Saw this woman wearing an angel costume in the tunnel that passes under the railway station.

Tainted Monument

Downtown Dallas. Dealy Plaza is near where President Kennedy got shot. The red building in the background is where Oswald allegedly fired the gun.
Such a calm place for such a violent act to have happened.
Nobody seems to care about who Dealy was, they only want to know where exactly it was that Kennedy was shot (there is an X mark on the road that shows that spot).

Drama Dog

Working the mood of the light and shadows here. Every story should have a scene like this with a brave, brave dog like Scrappy.

Dear Life

Kitty — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:11:29 +0000

My dogs chased a rat the other night, all the way up the side of my house. Poor little guy was clinging on for dear life about 16 feet off ground level.

Since it was at night and I needed some serious flash and zoom, I used my point and shoot. I’d never get this close to a rat.

I have no idea where he is now.

Lines

Took this photo while at a winery in Greece in the Spring. This canopy is probably covered in vines in the summer, but on this day, it was bathed in sunlight.
