Copy Orton Effect

Having some fun with Capture NX2, the Orton effect is a dreamy effect, named after Michael Orton.  It is a sandwich of two images...one in focus and one out of focus.

Morning Light

Each morning between 5:30am and 6:15am (depending on Summer/Winter or Daylight savings time) Quigley and I head out for our morning walk.   Nature is at it's best this time of day as we watch the sunrise,  it's often very dark when we start and the lighting is just becoming perfect when we return about an hour later.   Over the last week,  this has been our view.....the blood reds are really just that at 6:46am this past week.

Quigley takes a Moment to take in the view.... sometimes the stream is full of birds.  We see hawks, woodpeckers, rabbits, coyotes, ducks, mallards, geese, amazing wild-life....and sometimes, it's just a peaceful quiet morning...in nature.

This is now 7:44am

Can you roll your tongue?

Well looks like Quigley can....

In Memory of Attie

We lost Attie, M.E. & Bob's Rotwheller, this week....   She will be missed.......

Quigley has flowers for Attie.....

Pensive and respectful in honor of Attie....

My toys don't interest me today.....I'm sad for Attie's family....but she is probably with my 

sister, Meli now.

Kick the Blues..........

Sometimes life has a way of giving you the blues.... too many things go wrong and its just hard

to understand......... but just try to pick yourself up and get back in the race..

Promises Promises

America ... Thrive with the red white and blue

Fight on!

From Quigley..... "My Dad and my boyfriend, Mocha's Dad are both USC Alumni.....So here's to yous guys!!!!!"

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Our Early Morning Walk....

Hope you don't have that dreaded hangover.....

Could be flu season or could be too much eggnog..... but snuggle up with a cozy blanket, tissues, icepack,tv remote, laptop and toasty fire may be the remedy....

Happy New Year 2009
