I love my new food! And Mommy and Daddy!

HELP!!!

Let Freedom Ring!

Guess who came for a visit!!!!!

I have been consumed with getting up my new website - here
and have not been posting as I would like - AND we had 2
beautiful visitors last week - Brook and Ava!!! Ava is growing
so fast and so gorgeous! She has really captured our hearts...
We are all like putty around her! Courtney came every night
and got some "mothering" practice in by feeding Ava and
helping with her baths! The week FLEW by and when it came
time to take them back to the airport we felt like were having
our baby stole from us! And Brook is a truly incredible mother!

Sittin' on the dock of the bay....

Lots to Celebrate!!!!

Happy Anniversary Charlie and Brook!!!
New House!!!
Happy Birthday Courtney!!!!

WOW - the last week had LOTS to celebrate for the Moores' family!!!!
Last weekend - Aug 24 was Charlie & Brook's 1st Anniversary! I can
not believe it has been a year since the most incredible wedding ever!
The day before - they found that their offer on their new home had been
accepted - this was all ON TOP of Charlie passing his language exams
for the Special Forces program!!! He headed off for "Robin Sage" - the
final step in the Green Beret journey!
THEN - this Saturday, we celebrated Courtney's 26th birthday!!!! My
little girl looks so beautiful as her "Ty Marley" grows inside her! We
looked for 4 weeks to find her the Wii Fit for the gift she really wanted,
and she was a happy girl!
And TODAY - AVA and Brook are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings everywhere you look!

It's a Boy!!!!

Courtney and Doug went to the doctor on Tuesday and got the BIG news!
Courtney will be having a little Boy in January! Smiles all around! I'm gonna
be a grandpa again!

Terra Ceia Lagoon

Every week I travel to the Bradenton / Sarasota area over the Sunshine Skyway.
After passing over the bridge I pass through a little area on the water called
Terra Ceia - it's absolutely gorgeous! Last week I stopped at an opening in
the mangroves and capture a few images of the lagoon and the houses
hidden on Terra Ceia Bay...

Palma Ceia Condos

Linda spotted some new condos in Palma Ceia on Sunday and I had to get
out and get a few images... I love the pastel colors the builders are using
now!

Woodcarving Yard

This is part of woodcarving yard in Townsend, Tennesee. They are amazing
here - they do the woodcarving with chainsaws!!! Incredible detail and shape!
We got our "Smokey" bear from here last year - very talented people!

Sunrise Paint

I was trying to make my sunrise image look like a painting....

Photoshop Fun!

I have a few photographer friends that are often sending me the
latest buzz on Photoshop actions and plug-ins. The pictures below
are same image with the 2nd one being adjusted by a new plug-in
for Photoshop that I down loaded a trial version of... It has several
dramatic changes that you can make to your images - I find it
fascinating! Try it for yourself TOPAZ ADJUST

What do you think???

Sunrise Fisherman!

Fisheye Fun!

I got a 15mm Fisheye lens and have really enjoyed some
of the 1st images I have made from it.. These shots were
from a recent sunrise at Ballast Point Park in Tampa...

The Flickr upload seems to work real well....

Sunrise, Tampa Bay July 19

I woke early this morning, fed the dogs, made coffee
and headed out to one of my favorite sunrise spots,
Ballast Point Park - I'm always amazed at the light show
our Creator provides every morning....

Happy Birthday Linda!

My bride of 34 years, Linda turns ..... oops, if I mentioned the
age here this would surely be my last post! Linda got the new
iPhone for her birthday and will be playing with it for months
to come! I hope it is your best birthday ever Linda!! (aka Nana)

One Spoiled Pup!

Here is my male Labrador, Harley! As you can see, Linda lets
him make his own place on our bed and he even brings some
toys to play with.... It is a sure bet that you will find him here
if he is not laying wherever we are..

New Logo

Ren at Vibe patiently worked me over a 2 week
period to complete my new logo - what do you think?
