Best before 2015

This is why I love Flickr. For photos like this that push the boundaries and explore new territory.

That and it doesn't hurt that Solea's a pretty beautiful woman with an excellent sense of "the moment".

I'm in awe of many of the folks on Flickr and this is one of those moments that make me wish I could devote myself to photography all the time to create images like this. Its so evocative and simple too!

Cross Section

Found this at the Santa Cruz County Fair yesterday and had never seen anything like it. Pretty neat to look at and see how much wood comes out of a tree when its milled properly.

Legacy

Large is cool but Full size is even better.

Just a neat macro that came out much better than expected. The lighting ended up being moody and dark which fits the subject nicely.

The item in the picture is the cap of a collapsible Soviet shot glass that travels with me everywhere (among other goodies).

This morning's breakfast go a little bit messy but that's alright because Grady had a great time.

I never mind so much as long as he's happy. And I love pictures like this where he's gotten raspberries on his forehead!

Seeing Things Differently

A nice example of how adults and kids look at the world in different ways. This is my brother and his son about two and a half years ago on a sunny day in November in northern New England.

Yes, he is a good looking guy.

Sometimes you've just got to post a picture of a leaping dog. Especially when that dog's your own and she was having a good time playing on the beach and in the water.

Are They Biting?

Nande gets interested in the fishermen at Hidden Beach in Aptos.

Yeah, my boy looks sharp in his outfit and looks great with his grin. He's a sweet and wonderful little guy who's been having a great time visiting with his family and getting to play with his cousins.

I can't believe how big he is already and we're just getting started.

By the way, he can now say "Ma ma" and "Da da" and "Ba ba" (for his bottle). Not bad for a 9 and a half month old little guy, is it?

Sly Guy Grady

Could he be any cuter? Could he be any more photogenic? Could we have gotten any luckier with our little baby boy?

Nope, I don't think so. Teething issues aside, he's been a marvelous and true joy to craft our lives around.

One big smile from him is all I need to feel the cares of the day just slide right off of me.

He's the greatest!

DPChallenge - Accidental Letters

This week's open challenge at DPChallenge is called Accidental Letters, where the image will resemble a letter or letters unintentionally.

Ought to be an interesting challenge but I'll go out on a limb and say that there will probably be alot of "O's".
