Some Christmas Goodies

Some of those things that just put you in that Christmas Spirit.

A Masterpiece!

Genius, I tell you. Ava's first drawing.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Also a Happy Holidays to be 2006 politically correct. I wish the best for all of you.

My first hair doo.

Just finished my bath and thought I would style my hair. What do you think?

Some more of The Beach

Sleepy Dog

Shooting Star

Lookin Out

I thinks he's just enjoying the scenery.

Morning Dew

Moving some shots over from the right hand column. Going with the more popular method of keeping photos on the left. From Turtle Bay Park in Redding, Ca. 10/27/2006

Calm Tahoe

Ava gives Santa her list

Mom and Grandma Lee took Ava to see Santa today. Good news this year! Santa informed Ava that she was indeed on the good list and would most likely be spoiled with way too many presents from all her loving family and himself.

Time For a Cleaning.

If your digital SLR pictures look like this, your sensor needs to be cleaned.

December...Already?

Been rather inactive lately. The entire family came down with a bad stomach bug. We are now recovered and I thought it was time to check back in. A couple appointments in the Reno and Tahoe area is what I have done with my past two days. I was able to see some of the first snow and also lose a hundred bucks. Happy Holidays all.

Ava

I took this picture of Ava on Thanksgiving. I like it so I thought I would share it.

Eureka, Ca-Old Town

Eureka, Ca Alley

Stay in School

You could end up in Iraq, as John Kerry says, or maybe like this guy. A photo of one of the local populace of Eureka, Ca, forever immortalized in all his glory.

The Beach

These photos were taken on the coast just north of Rockport, Ca where the 1 ends its course along the coast and begins to head east to meet the 101. This was a fairly isolated area. The rock formations were covered in muscles, urchins, starfish, and other bug-like creatures. Having just gotten back into photography over the past few months since high school, I have not had the opportunities or surroundings as statuesque as those that were presented before myself on Saturday evening.

Birds on a Wire

Shot at Greenwood State Beach.

Some Mixed Scenery

A photo from Ledson Winery.

Cooper Walks

One of Cooper's many abilities in his bag of tricks.

Greenwood State Beach

No, I did not create the driftwood art sculpture thingy. Someone was nice enough to build this so my photo of this foggy, bland beach would be more interesting. Artist, unknown.

Vulture-Condor-Bird of Some Kind

I shot this bird today at Greenwood State Beach. The fog was thick, and I was surprised to see that I actually captured this bird in mid-flight with minimal light.

Cleaned up the image a little bit-due to outside comments. 11/12/2006

Halloween

Ava Trick or Treats

Last year Ava was in a stroller. This was Ava's first year where we allowed her to attempt to Trick-or-Treat. She could not say the words, but she was excited to take candy from peoples' stash. A lot of the time she would take the candy and then put it back. After a few houses she started to catch on and just took off. This kid walked up and down the street, hand in hand with Grandma Lee, and not getting tired for about an hour.
