August 16, 2009 - Madison's visit with us in the mountains
Hot sunny day today with highs near 90. We spent the last week in the mountains, and Madison came to visit us while we were staying in our cabin. She loved the waterfalls, and we got her photo in front of one of them here. I love waterfalls too, but her enthusiasm was contagious.

August 8, 2009 - Peeking finch
Cloudy early this morning, but the sun is trying to come out now. Highs are expected to be in the 80's. I slipped out for a little while this morning and got this shot (while feeding the mosquitos). He was peeking around the limb at me before moving into the feeders. We've been slammed with yellow finches lately. They are eating me out of house and thistleseed.
August 4, 2009 - A splash of color
Expected to be partly cloudy today with rain this evening. Highs expected in the low 80's. I really liked this flower shot because of all the color in it. It seems to be a very cheerful flower scene. We all need that from time to time, and most times we walk right by something like this and never take notice.
August 3, 2009 - Allie's Wedding
Expecting a dry day today with highs in the 80's. I shot my neighbor's grand daughter's wedding this weekend. I really like this pose with the existing light. I try to get this shot at every wedding I shoot. I also think that the use of black and white enhances the mood of the photo.
August 2, 2009 - A rose for a new beginning
Heavy rains this morning, then partly cloudy this afternoon, with highs around 80. We're starting a new Photo a Day When I Can gallery with this entry. I hope to be able to do better than the last one. I love roses, so it's kind of fitting that we start with this one. I took this the other day, and it helped remind me that I don't have to invest a lot of time in order to see something beautiful.
