My best friend, my pup, my love. It was an honor to be your "Mom" for this short time. You were always at my side, faithful and full of pep, kisses and unconditional love. I hope heaven is filled with all sorts of balls for you to play with. I miss you and always will, until we meet again. I'll see you on the other side. Rest in Peace my baby-CC

The Beggar

The beggar...Can I get some too?? Please?? #365Project Day-273 (2010.09.30) @sharkbayte

Day 263-Two shots today

My funny face...Jasper cracks me up with his daily antics and expressions.

This is a Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura. They have a wind span of 67-72 inches! I almost always find him on this pole watching everything. I couldn't get a shot of him without the wires. I really need to get a longer lens, as I can't get much closer to him with my lens. #365Project day 263. (2010.09.20) @sharkbayte

This is my friends dog Pearlie Mae or Pearl. She is not as active as Jasper is, but she lets you know she is there and means business.

02.24.2010 (55/365) 365 Project - It's MINE!

Jasper was playing tug-of-war, when I sort of sneaked up on him. But he caught me. (darn wheelchair makes a noise, very slight click, but it let's you know you've engaged the motor). Jasper loves playing...ALL DAY! he even brings his toys to bed at night! I have to laugh at some of the things I see he has brought to sleep with...

Day 36 Welcome home Suzuki! 365 Project-05/02/2010

Pierre and Ricky are happy to see Suzuki return after a long departure...Suzuki (049) is apart of the Yamaguchi Revoltech series. There are a few more out there that go with this group. I have found a few not all yet.

365 Project Day 35-Ricky thought Pierre wanted rice and wine.....(04/02/2010)

Pierre is the new character from the Yamaguchi Revoltech. tomorrow I'll introduce Suzuki 049. Tonight or tomorrow I will add another photo here, which is not part of my daily but it is of Jasper getting his nails cut. just his expression cracked us up!

Day 31 _ Project 365 (031/365) Sorry, it's all gone!

Today is a month I started this project and I am happy I am still doing it! I thought I would get some more outdoor shots today as it was very sunny out and thought things would be melting. But seeing they didn't plow or clear any sidewalks, walkways or even the parking lot if it was melting its freezing back up on top of the snow. I was told we got 6 inches of snow and 2 inches of ice. Yesterday I went outside and thought I would see how things were. My chair slipped off the walkway and into a ditch! So all the photos I took yesterday were through the sliding glass door, while I was on the phone. they aren't the best but they came pretty good. You can see more of the birds on my flickr or smugmug pages.

Day 20- 365 Project (020/365)

What ever happened here today, I know nothing!...This is the look I got when I finally got back from my doctors appointment! (I tried posting on the 20th, however, I kept getting an error message from the service. So this is the first time it let it go through). I will be posting today's shot later on today.

For My Buddy Mike-I'll never forget you.

Mike was that once in a lifetime friend. It was an honor for me to be his friend and neighbor. Mike was just awesome. I don't get close to people in such a short time as I had done with Mike. Every night we would meet outside with the dogs, have tea or coffee and play with the dogs, solve the world's problems and just shoot the breeze. In the mornings, Mike would knock on my door to see if I was awake yet and we would have a cup of coffee before he headed out to work. I had just moved into my apartment, on Mike's birthday and the rest is history. He has a lovely wife Laura, who is just as awesome. And 3 daughters whom I never met, because they have their parents genes these women must be just as awesome. I did however, meet his two furry daughters and they were my furry son were best buds.

this is my second post today, I couldn't concentrate on my photography or anything else today, so I made this collage of Mike, using the photos I had. (I had just gotten my first digital camera as you can see in the photos.) Mike was supportive of me learning photography. Actually he was supportive and encouraged me to do whatever it was I wanted to do. He helped build and put the ramp outback so I could go out into the back yard. (Major thing for me!)

Rest in peace Mike, I will remember you forever! The world lost a hero, friend and an awesome person. Your light will shine brightly in the heavens! I'll look for you there, until we meet again!
