My Budding Photographer

Just winding down memory lane and cleaning up my backup drives when I came across this wonderful photo of my daughter, Rachel. She was about 11 or 12 here. We had gone to Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida and the boys went off on all the rides and she tagged along with me to photograph all the wildlife. What a patient model she was, and still is. She is one of my four favorite subjects to photograph. I just wanted to share those beautiful baby blues with you today.

You may have noticed that my blog style is different. The previous setup was cutting off my my pictures and it was driving me crazy! Hopefully, you will like the improvement as well.

I totally forgot about this little guy - I chased him all through the gardens to get some shots of him. Enjoy!

This is the garden leading to the launch ramp to the skiff that takes you to the USS Arizona Memorial. One of the most incredible places I have ever been to.
