Lacy getting used to riding in the car. Starting with a trip around the block and she did very well. Before long she will be able to go on vacation with us. Maybe one day we will train her to carry camera lenses in a special doggy backpack and she could be our assistant during photography sessions.

We met our Bride and Groom on the beach this morning for a sunrise shoot. Here is a shot of the rings as we were leaving. The session was great, but man was it cold. It was about 34 degrees and we did wade out into the water a little while shooting. I have no problem doing what ever it takes to get a great photograph.

Our Bride and Groom, here in Jacksonville, FL, invited us to the rehearsal dinner, which was a dinner cruse on the St. Johns River. I made this photo with my cell phone from the deck of the boat. I love the sunset under the bridge.

I’ve heard of cold feet and I’ve heard of being in the hot seat. But I’m not sure exactly where this would fall.

We had some very large snow flakes here today; a better name may be a snow cluster.

I’m not sure which is better: a garden gnome or pig art. Look closely; it appears to have wings on each side and there are two eyelets on top. I bet a cable could be thread through the eyelets, then strung between two trees like a zip line to make an awesome flying pig.

What really cracks me up about this is that the sign is on the outside of the door.
