Ran into this little critter while on my daily walk.

Maybe... Just maybe

Well, I MIGHT have some good news.  I might have fixed my camera.  LET'S PRAY!!
If so, I'm back in business for outdoor portraits. :)

Dreams of Travel

It would be so nice to just jump on a train and leave Wisconsin  for a few days.  The furtherest I've ever been is  Shakopee, MN to Valley Fair out of Wisconsin. lol

Someday, I would LOVE to travel to New York, Florida, California, Hawaii, the Caribbean.  

Why Hello There Long Lost Friend

In September of 2009, one of my twin daughters found a baby turtle sticking it's head out of the sand. And when I say baby turtle I mean, BABY TURTLE. It still had it's egg tooth. 

We kept him safe for about 8 months before we released him back into his environment in May 2010.  For 2 years, we wondered how he was.  And on Memorial Day, we STRONGLY and WHOLE heartedly believe that we found him again. :)     We called out his name, and he looked us, and didn't swim away.   NOT the greatest photos, I know. :(    But there were good enough to look at his shell (which matched his shells weird defect when we last saw him and his markings on his face. :D)    They say that turtles have GREAT memories.   I think that he recognized us.   

Well, we can have that dream.  

Doing The Happy Dance

Took the "bad" memory card to Walmart today, praying that their photo makers would read the memory card. And much to my surprise it worked.  I could see all of my car show images.    I LOVE all areas of photography, and older model cars has always been an interest of mine.   So when I saw the chance to take some photos at a local car show in my city, I jumped on the chance. :)

Here are a few of MY favorites. :)
