A few more pictures

     
Isabel sent me this text message yesterday morning.... pretty funny stuff.
This is what happens when a "treat" falls under the fridge. (taken on her phone).

      
          Well, I hope that these pictures are some of the last of the pictures taken on our phones! That's right, with the updated camera and lens I should be all set up over the next week to finally get decent shots once again. It's been far too long... Anyway, here are a few pictures and videos taken over the past week or two.


Anything to keep warm - Sun bathing in the kitchen  (:

Relaxing? I think not!

Told ya she'd sit on anything.... dirty bed sheet?

What do you shoot?


         Back at it! That's right.. I'm back in the driver's seat once again and will soon be back out shooting after being away for a while. I made a decision to get away from shooting for the past 8 months or so and it's been killing me.... I didn't miss it at first, but for the past few weeks I've been going crazy thinking about it and what a terrible decision I had made. I've made more sacrafices and ended up with a new camera.

I've shot Nikon cameras for the past few years and have now switched over to Canon. A good friend of mine swears by Canon as well as studio so I thought I'd try it out for a while. I picked up the Canon EOS 50D and should have it in production this weekend! WooHoo! I'm excited! So far from what I've seen playing around with this camera I think I'm really going to enjoy it.

Look for many more images of the Weims soon!

Christmas Blues

         Well with the holiday season now over I find myself falling into the holiday blues... It's a depressing time of year taking down the Christmas tree, family all goes home, and we all attempt to get back to our every-day schedules... You know, the daily grid if you will. I've been down sick with the crud for the past 8 days and it kicked my butt! I haven't felt very "creative" thus the lack of posts recently however that's about to change. I'm feeling a bit better today and I have a new contest coming up soon, so stay tuned for that!

        Since I really don't have anything to post today I was thinking "blues" and "weimaraners" and decided to search YouTube and here's what I came up with today... So, we'll get a laugh at others expense today. Here's a Weim singing the blues........ I'm sure this is how Bailey & Darby are feeling, this is how I've felt the past week!

      Oh yeah, you know how everyone always says to dispose of you medicine in a save manner... like flush them down the toilet or something?? Well, we knew better and dumped some old meds in the garbage the other day not thinking.. Bailey and Glacier decided to tear into the trash can while outside and guess what..... there are meds in there! Let's just say 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide down the hatch and Bailey hacked within 2 minutes...... And since we didn't have any more peroxide, 1 teaspoon of salt down Glacier's throat and she yakked too... thankfully, they didn't eat any of the medicine but we did it just in case...

This should be a good reminder for everyone.......  This could have been a disaster!

Anyway, here's the video I wanted to share,

Enjoy! (and Happy New Year!)
