I heart faces has a couple of categories. One of which is Pets. Well, since I recently grabbed a goofy photo of Maggie, I thought I’d use it here.
This one says…”Hi, I’m a dorkfish!” My poor sweet Maggie has lots of goofy faces!
Taken with my nifty new 85mm 1.8 Lens….I LOVE that lens too!
Exif Info: 1/1000 f 1.8 @ 85mm, ISO 100
Last weekend, my little buddy Riley got a bath. Generally, he doesn’t like to get bathed, but loves how he feels afterwards! This was really just a prelude to a haircut. Last night we cut his hair too (pictures forthcoming) He is now much cooler and happier.
In one of my last posts, I told how Honey and I got married 3/28/09. Following our wonderful nuptials, we retreated to Galveston, Tx for a 5 day Carnival Cruise to Mexico. This was my second cruise and Honey’s first. What a great trip!
The other day I had this great idea to make a Panini sandwich. I’ve been wanting to make one of these since last year’s trip to DC when I had a great Caprese Panini in a restaurant there. They are great and easy to make.
This sandwich is a slight variation of a classic Caprese. I added some grilled chicken to the sandwich.
Here are the classic ingredients: tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese. Simple, yet deliver it delivers in taste in a big way! Oh and the basil pictured here is straight out of the garden, fresh herbs are the way to go!
So I know that these are WAAAAY overdue, but it’s been very busy for me lately. Honey and I recently got married 3/28/2009 and a few weeks before the wedding we decided that we needed some pictures of us to display at the Church. Well, what better way to do that but go shoot them myself. Of course, I can’t do anything simple either, I shot these Strobist style.
Strobist info: Vivitar flash bounced into umbrella, camera right at 1/4 power.
Pardon the mess while updating my blog.
I made the 1 1/2 hour commute out to Llano, Tx to see the Eagle nest that has been there for about 6 or 7 years. It is truly amazing to see these majestic birds in the wild.
This was shot with an old 600-1000mm manual focus lens. I shot some other photos using a Canon EF 300mm F4 L lens stacked on top of a Canon EF 1.4x II Extender. Those are located on my Flickr photostream.
I saw on another blog about I Heart Faces. I noticed that they were having a photo contest for dogs, so I decided to add an old one of Maggie. It happens to be one of my all time favorites.
So in my previous post I alluded to my ulterior motive for being in Washington DC. Well, that motive was to ask my girlfriend to marry me! The first day we arrived in Washington DC, we went walking around the White House past the Washington Monument down to the Reflecting Pool where we sat at a bench to rest. While sitting there engaged in conversation and well…reflecting, I got down on one knee and asked Honey to marry me. Thankfully she said YES! (I knew she would)
I was fortunate enough to go to Washington D.C. at the first of this month. Wow. What an amazing experience!! The history that is in this town is breathtaking. My main reason for going was for a conference with Farmers Insurance. I did however have an ulterior motive that I will save for another post. Over the next couple of days I will try and post some other photos from my trip. The above photo is obviously from the United States Capitol
