52 Pictures - Week 16 - Scooby Defense Initiative

Our SDI project extended a section of our fence 18 inches to keep our boy inside.  Although still anxious at times he's much more comfortable.  We don't worry about him bolting through open doors.   He now has three nicknames which means he's fully ensconced in the family.

Happy Oklahoma Spring!

Taken with my iPhone

Back in early April I took this photo on my way out the door.  I was running late for work, but was taken by the beautiful colors.  Last fall I planted an insane number of tulips.  We even had a few stragglers from last year who came back for a second showing. 

52 Pictures - Week 14

Last night we had a friend over for dinner, drinks, and music.  So love hearing live music in our house.  What a treat.  While they played I grabbed my camera and did some more practice with the AV setting.  Here is my favorite of B's mandolin.

Also took photos of the lovely moon last night.  Took awhile to get the camera to see what I was seeing, but I'm pretty happy with these.

P.S.  I showed B the post and he said "It's almost like the Bat Signal!"...  he's rescuing humanity on the xbox, or maybe Mr. Freeze.

(Thanks Beetle and Fern!)

52 Pictures - Week 12

Turned on the "Highlight Alert" setting today and took shots of Grace.  Although this setting could become annoying, I see how it can be useful as a training aid to see overexposed areas.  This was the fourth image with just a little bit of overexposure on the top of Grace's back.   If I understand the lingo correctly, I underexposed the image 2 stops to get the proper exposure.

Makes me smile every time I see this photo

Took this photo through the window screen.   It's flying Finley.

52 Pictures - Week 8

Never so glad to see this one at our airport late Friday night on Feb 20th after nine days in Colorado to be with his mom.  He delivered his father's eulogy and sang the song he'd written for his dad in 2013.  Both were so beautiful and delivered perfectly.  My trip was sandwiched in between his.  I left Sunday, met up with two of our nieces (#awesomenieces) at DIA, drove all the way across I-70, and made a return trip just 36 hours later.
