Las Vegas in Spring

Las Vegas has some pretty formations in the area.

Spring Flowers in Texas

This was the best wildflower season we've had in a long time - taken on the way home from the Salt Lick Bar-b-Que, the best in Texas!

Moose Flies

It is hard to see the flies around his nose and neck, but they are there.  You have to wear lots of repellant to keep the black flies off you! This was taken at one of the many ponds close to Kokadjo, Maine.  These photos are quite tricky to take with a dipping moose and a moving canoe.  I wish I could do this everyday.

Moosehead Lake

Looking at this makes me long for summer and moose country.  I can't wait to see what mooses present themselves this year.  Texas has looked rather dreary the past few months - it is either cold or blazing HOT.

Parisa and I

I realized I did not have a picture of my beloved daughter on this blog site and it must be here.  I miss her so - she left this world much too early at 17 in March of 2007.  She had graduated early at 16 and gone to college.  Parisa and her boyfriend, Shelton, had gone to the Texas coast for spring break and were in a horrific accident that killed them both.  I hope they are at peace.  I will never be the same for a huge piece of my heart went with her and left a gaping hole that always aches.

Red Barn in the Snowy Woods

This is just an example of how pretty the snow makes everything look in New Hampshire.  This was taken in the Lisbon area, close to the cabin.

Loon

This is a loon photo taken the same time as the moose photo posted below.  These birds are so cool.  I'm hoping next summer I can photograph one with babies.  Wish me luck.

Moose on the Run

I thought I would show another moose photo or two until I finish website construction.  This was taken in Maine on a pond near Moosehead Lake.  The cow stood there for the longest time letting me take pictures and then decided she was no longer comfortable and took off quickly.  My camera was faster!

Tuck the Alpaca from Massachsetts

I love this little boy named Tuck.  He is so cute.  Lives in Massachusetts. I am happy to announce that I have another baby boy, named Buddy to add to my alpaca family.  Will have pics here soon.

Old Barn

Thanksgiving was nice. Took a ride with family to the "old family farm" close to Weir, Texas. We never knew a tool shed could look so lovely in it's old age.

Patches in her Halter

Today I finally got to meet my alpaca baby.  She did not take too kindly to being haltered - in fact, it was like a one alpaca rodeo.  (Sorta like a cat when you put on a collar, or they get their feet wet the first time.)  Patches has a long way to go before she grows into her ears and halter. What glorious weather there is here in New Hampshire right now- a balmy 76, and everything green as far as you can see.  I do look around at night going outside, not for car jackers, but for animals - this IS bear country!  Hope my darling has sent me the bear repellant I asked for.

Mother goose

This was taken this June up in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, with a Nikon D80 - great camera. There is a lot of wildlife up there, moose in particular.  It is very close to the Canadian border - a good place to cool down.  Can you see why we want to live in New Hampshire eventually?  So many opportunities for camera (and sporting) buffs.

Patches

My baby patches is getting bigger already.  I'll meet her in just a few days, then I will take some shots of her myself.  This was taken by the Stevens.

Texas Sunset

The landscape was drab until the sun started setting.  Taken last Sunday 08/09/09 between Pipe Creek and San Antonio.

Lilacs in Berlin,NH

This was an entry for a lilac contest - I'm waiting for results.  I need to start shooting in raw - to keep things looking sharp.

My New Baby Alpaca

This is my new child - I did not take the picture - The Stevens of NH did. She was born yesterday 8/4/09.

Lone Tree, Vermont

This was taken in Vermont close to the border of NH - I insisted that John take me back to this spot so I could photograph this tree, and being the kind of nice guy he is, took me back. It was worth it.

Mt. Katadin, ME

This was taken near Baxter State Park

Sudrina the Llama

This is my favorite llama in the world - she lives in MA and someday I will talk her owners out of her.  This animal has more expressions than you can ever imagine.  So cute!
