This girl was discovered in a tractor trailer that was unloading at my store on a bitter cold day in January.
According to the driver, she had been locked in for four days with no food or water at a dock in Michigan. We brought her home, named her Trucker, and she has not stopped eating since!A word from my Benifactor

This is my Cally on top of things!get off of what!

Hope you float along on your special day!

Barney was my Dad's pooch and his best friend the last 7 years of his life.
My Dad took this dog everywhere!
Now as Barney and I lay on the floor, our heads touching, I can almost hear my Dad saying, "Good boy Jeff!"

Out on a band job (Gig) recently with our mature trio.
Before our group played these three men performed some Latin songs.
The bassist, a local jazz legend, agreed to fill in for the "regular" bass player, and the result was...well you would have had to have been there!

This little boat will float no more but holds plenty of fond memories of my son and I fishing on my dad's pond in Ottawa Lake Mi.
My shot at the still life contest.

I took this shot from backstage summer of 2005 in a city park by a big lake!
Can you guess who and where?
Yes...the bass player in the shot is blurred beyond recognition...but there's the challange, isn't it? guess who

The first of February was mild in Toledo as Kay and her new dog, Roxy, approached the bridge over Ten Mile Creek in Wildwood Metropark. Approaching the bridge

Went back to visit the schoolhouse at Wildwood and found this old tree stump to use for an effective DOF! stump

Got a lot of DOF working here as this was taken  with a little old cellphone cam! Not a great shot but fun!I remember making this pool shot

One of those crisp fall days in Ohio when I shot this "transplanted" schoolhouse.
 This one room brick building sat for decades on a road near our Toledo  MetroparkWildwood then was moved to this site inside the park for all to enjoy.

Up at the North Woods Cabin our #1 Cat, Cleo, did one of her "brain-bakers" under the shade of this very old stained glass lamp and I just happened to have my old Canon T50 35mm
on the table and now...Cleo, lamp, and bear you be the judge!

Took this one at Sutton Bay Michigan.
My wife and I stop in this marina a few times each year, and we were rewarded with this  being there!fine old sailboat

At the lake with my son as I face the agony of defeat again!
Not another hotel!
