Haven't much felt like doing that lately, so thought this would be a good opportunity to change that.

My husband called last night and wanted the boys and I to meet him for dinner and then he was going to take the older boys over to S & K to get them new suits.  On the way there, we stopped to pick up John's friend Michael.  Michael's brother was walking there dog, a beautiful Siberian Husky.  After about knocking me over, (the dog, not John's friend), he sat for a picture.  Meet  Chase . I then retired to the back of the van for our drive across town.

We had to drive through downtown, where they are building a new  baseball stadium.  

I took this in the split second before John SPEEDED away from the light.  This next pic is not something I normally would take, but that was the challenge:   walk light. 

Once we got to S & K's, the salesperson was overwhelmed by 3 customers (my guys) coming in 45 minutes before the store closed, and an overbearing mom (that would be me), so I dispensed with the camera, the boys don't like me taking their pics anyway, and I didn't want to distract them from the task at hand. 

Joe, however, proved to be a good subject, here he is  tipping his hat .  The hat rack inself make an interesting  picture.   

Those were the best of the evening, but here are two bonus shots from the last couple of days:

Bonus one:   be still my (tomato) heart

Bonus two:   squirrel by Joe. 



 
  • nice shot of Joe.

    The hat rack is nice, but it seems like there's too much flash.

    nice squirrel by Joe, they never stay still long enough for me. Hope it didn't eat what was in the planter!

  • brenda:  you could be right about the flash, it's one of those things I need to relearn to look for.  No, I didn't get a chance to plant anything in that planter this year, partly because I know it was the squirrel's favorite, and he always dug it up anyways!

    Jess, the ballpark, condos, hotel, park, etc, is suppose to be done by next april in time for opeing season.  see link below:

  • Chase looks like such a happy pup!  I really like the hat rack, but I kinda wish it were in b&w as well.  And what a great little subject Joe is.  Really nice post!
