I’m back from a HUGE vacation, the biggest and longest trip I’ve ever taken in my life and it was with 10 of my family members!  Eleven of us went to Germany, France, England and Ireland last month and it was AMAZING!  I’m still editing photos from my cousin’s wedding I shot right before we left, and haven’t even gotten to the vacation images yet…but here’s what I shot with the iphone while I was away…

When you have big dogs, it’s hard to find things for them to wear.  Gunther could really care less about having anything on his head….Duchess on the other hand LOVES it, unfortunately nothing ever really ’stays put’ because it’s never the proper size.

Here’s some of her fashion faux ‘paws’….

Fashionable Dane

She’s big enough to wear human hats…

Giddy Up

Duchess

But she’s NOT big enough to wear the doggy Minnie ears they sell at Disney World…

Minnie Ears

This Disney doggy hat did stay on for a little bit, but it kept falling off…

"I'm Too Sexy For My Hat (and sunglasses)."

Duchess is happy getting any kind of attention…if you put something on her, or make her look funny, she’s one happy dog!
This is how she normally looks…we don’t torture her too much with hats and clothing ;-)

My Girl & My New Lens

I wanted to go way back in my flickr stream….back in time…. to see some of the images I’ve forgotten about.  I figured I’d find some pretty terrible stuff that would be fairly embarrassing to show here!  Actually, I found some images that I’m still VERY proud of today!


This is from March 2007! I still love this photo :)

Arcadia Rodeo, Florida

This was also from 2007, and I see I edited it in Lightroom, I’m not liking the colors of this, or that heavy vignette around it…but it’s not too shabby!

Aria

Another from 2007, selective coloring….I’m not a big fan of it, but in some instances it does work!

My front yard

I think this was when I first got the 50mm 1.8, can you see what’s wrong with this picture? I used the on-board flash! Oh noes! What was I thinking back then? I have no idea.

Gunther


I’ve come a long way from using the on board flash!

Rhyan Elizabeth

I’ve come a long way in using lightroom to edit my photos and although I no longer use the 50mm 1.8, I now use the 50mm 1.4 and don’t ever pop that on board flash up!

Dinsey Girls :)

Look at how gray my baby Gunther has gotten since that photo above in 2007! We’re all getting old…and we’re not thrilled about it, lol

How Can You Not Love This Face?

We’re coming up on the last two launches of the Space Shuttle.  I won’t be able to make it to any of the launches, but I wanted to share some photos from the one launch I did see in 2008.


We watched the Space Shuttle Discovery May 31, 2008 from Spaceview Park in Titusville, Florida
