happy birthday, gary!

today is gary's birthday and he is going
to be doing what he loves....golf.
the rain has ended, the skies are clearing
and it is going to be 70...happy birthday
alright, what a gift!
he's playing in an annual tourney to raise
money for the hard working folks at carver's
fire & rescue (largely volunteer).
i'll see him tonight, dinner tomorrow and
perhaps another night at a hotel~i have
2 more to use up by the end of the year.
and the gift of a clean house is coming!

say, did any of you take this survey yet?
i just received it this morning. click here
and fill it out. no one is looking over your
shoulder...just answer as honestly as you can.
i was surprised to find hilary dead last.
i mean, i wasn't really, but when you really
get into the meat of the survey...it might
surprise you who rises to the top.
pretty cool, just takes a few minutes.

okay, i wasn't going to do this but now i am.
the other day i met kiki & owen at a park
near their home and brought along my camera.
i got some sweet shots of some of their
friends and, without names, i want to post
them here for them to see...











and a couple more of owen...





i love my new 1.4 lens! can you tell?

i'm thinking about throwing an outdoor portrait
party this fall...portraits at a discount for
groups. interested? e-mail me.

sorry...one more thing....paris
