Birthday Cake?

You don't see that face too often after a bite of birthday cake. You do however see it after a shot of birthday cake. My good friend Hal's birthday happened to fall on our Tuesday Pint Night so I was able to buy him a pint and watch him do this shot.

Back to the dentist

This is actually an old shot re-edited. I did go to the dentist today for a cleaning I just didn't get a picture.

Laura Leading The Way

Armed with a grabby and a trash bag Laura was ready to take on the trash.

Earning My Wine

I had to earn my fun this weekend. Laura had a great idea to participate in Clean The Bay Day this weekend. So she picked a place on the eastern shore near a winery we wanted to visit. In order to get to the winery we had to pick up trash first, the group ended up picking up around 400 lbs of trash off the beach and two kittens. It felt good to help out the environment and get a little trip out of it at the same time.
The cleanup was at Kiptopeke State Park and it is a very nice state park, very well kept. They had some old barges set off the shore I didn't ask anyone about them but I guess they were supposed to break the wake of passing ships or something.
Thanks Laura

While I was Waiting

I got my car inspected Wednesday, this was the first time in a long time that old car didn't coast me over $400 to pass inspection, while I waited I stopped in a coffee shop up the block from the garage.

Got a Quarter

Laura sent me a link to a World Wildlife Fund photo contest and said "you'd better enter THIS one!” referring to the other one she told me about that I missed the submission deadline.
I took this on Gwynn's Island back in 2007 and isn't the initial one that grabbed my eye when I first processed these photos. I had another one I liked but over time I found things I didn't like about it, wishing I had moved the camera down a little focused more here than there etc. etc.
So we will see if I get my photos submitted in time... at least I got a blog post out of it.

Exploring The Pond

While walking Bailey around in the heat we stopped to get a couple pictures of the lily pads in the lake.
