I also got asked to take family photos for a friend of mine.  I was quite surprised!  We will see how it goes.  I haven't focused much on people portraits.  Should be interesting....and at least she is a friend of mine, so I shouldn't get too harassed if they don't turn out very well.

Ooops! Sorry....

Sorry everyone.  I have been so busy with everything that I got a little distracted with my blog.  Now that I am back into it, we'll start with this....being that it sort of has to deal with the same thing as the last entry....
 another dog has been found.  :(  What the heck is wrong with people?!  Either the dog doesn't have a collar and isn't microchipped or there is a collar, with no tags and still isn't chipped! This time the dog is a Golden Retriever mix, older, and very sweet.  She is just the best dog and I have no idea why she was running in the highway.  I have posted fliers and she is now safely at the vet clinic nearby.  But she tonight is her last night there, they just don't have the room and she can't stay, so someone needs to pick her up and take her to the shelter if no one claims her.  So sad!  :(  Hopefully someone will call before she is picked up.

Anyway, on a happier note, I've been busy with work, as usual.  But I have also been going camping on the weekends.  It's been quite fun. I also have been to a show at the Cuthbert, well, not really at the show, just sat outside and listened with a couple of friends.  It was great!  Had a nice picnic dinner and everything!  Also been busy taking the dog to the creeks and rivers for swim time.  He sure does love it....now that he knows what he is dong.  

I will be going to a friends wedding here next weekend, so look for pictures....I am trying to take some more photos of people and get that darn lighting down.  It sure is difficult, I think portraits are the hardest out of all the things I have tried.  But the wedding should be good and the reception should be fun, even if the photos don't turn out.  Good thing I wasn't hired for that, just taking them as a guest.

Other than that, that's about it.  Been taking a lot of pictures, of everything, some turn out and some don't.  I will be posting a few here, so check out the albums....

Oh, and here is a photo of the dog that was found...I wish there was more that could do, but there just isn't.....

Busy Busy!

Well, I guess it has been a while since I blogged last.  I have just been busy with work and the yard.  I went to a concert the other night.  It was fantastic!  You can't beat a band that sounds just like they do on CD!  I mean, what a show!  They even played for a good 4hrs or more.  I was quite surprised.  After the show, on the way home, a friend of mine and I found a Border Collie running around in the middle of the road....being the good Samaritans that we are we stopped and picked him up.  Actually, he picked us up, all I had to do was whistle and say "come here"  and he just followed the truck til I stopped.  Then I got out and he came right to me, licked my face and jumped in the truck!  Can you believe it!? Fliers have been posted about him and hopefully his owners will come find him.  He is such a good dog!  Wish I could keep him, but I can't, already have a handful with my own dog, Lucas.  Here are a few photos of him, we went for a walk today.  HE HAD A BLAST!.....Oh, and check out my albums, there are new photos in there, too.

What a day!

What a day!  First it starts with going to work....I know....work, blah, blah, blah.  After work, I had to go to town to an appointment to get my hair cut!  I haven't gotten my hair cut...by a professional....in quite some time, and I was well overdue for a change. So I went and did it!  It felt great!  On my way into town, I saw a coyote!  I had to stop and try to get some pics of it.  So, I turned around, parked on the side of the road and walked up a ways so that I could see him.  To my surprise, he was very mild....I mean, he was walking right towards the road at one point...with traffic just flyin' by and he didn't seem to care one bit.  I believe he was hunting for field mice or something.  I saw him pounce on something, and I so wish that I could have gotten him in action, but what I got will do.  Anyway, just wanted to share with everyone the action I saw today.  Be sure to check out the animals album as well, there will be a couple more of him in there!

 

Nothing New

Well, nothing too exciting has been happening since the last time I wrote.  I did walk up a gated forest service road the other day and came upon this old bridge over a creek.  It was pretty neat, I must say.  I love the old things that are still standing...somewhat...even if they aren't in use anymore.  This one DEFINITELY is not in use!  I really look forward to walking further up the creek and seeing what I might find.  I'm sure there will be plenty of photo opportunities there.  Other than that really, no new adventures.  Soon though, I promise.  I have been busy in my yard planting away....the colors are so beautiful.  I will definitely be taking some pictures of them and hopefully they will turn out great!  They look great anyway!  Well, I guess that is it...check for new photos all the time...I may not necessarily post anything on my home page but there may be something new in the albums.  And remember, if you like my work, you can become a follower.  Just click the Google link at the bottom right of the page!!!!  :-)

Adventure!

 The adventure went well today.  Got some great photos and saw some things never seen before...well, never seen by me anyway.  It was a good and eventful day.  I achieved what I wanted to, and had a great day off from work.  Tomorrow, it is back to work, just for a little while, then to do some work in the yard that is desperately needed.  
I love this time of year!  Being outdoors is the best and what's better is when the weather is FANTASTIC!  
Now to rest up for the day tomorrow.

Out For an Adventure

Let see, today it is just so gorgeous outside that I must go for an adventure. Should be a great day for photographs.  The sun is shining, the skies are blue, and the temperature is just right.  Maybe I will head towards the coast and see what that will bring me.  There is a covered bridge out that way that I still need to get.  I have them all in Lane County except for 2.  So, today just might be the day for that.  Hope everyone has a beautiful day....and go out and get some great shots!

I got one yesterday of a Stellar Jay at my mom's. He was just gorgeous.
