Another pleasant valley Sunday...

for everybody but Ben and the little Steeler guy, who now have some healing to do. Just warning "the man", this was not totally my idea. I've learned a couple of new things today; my dog loves football (he becomes very vocal during the game) and the little Steeler gnome is hollow. It's a good thing I just bought that really good glue. Kona didn't like his hat cracking open in his mouth and was quick to spit out those pieces. (and then he said he was REALLY sorry) Anyway, a good Steeler win this week...and as
promised...the gnome guy who is just about to lose the tip of his cap.




Have a great week and stay tuned for a fabulous post tomorrow!

The Hard Way

Sometimes you have to go about it the hard way.
Thankfully, the Steelers still won. Not an easy win by any means, but a very good game. Phew.
As promised, the little Steeler gnome will be posted in some fashion after every win. This could get tricky.
I hope it does.

Thunder and Lightning

So...working three days in a row, working three long 12 to 14 hour days in a row, leaves little time for catching the news or anything else. I was saddened to learn Paul Newman passed away, on Sunday. I guess the news came out Friday. I am 48 hours behind. And now I'm sitting in front of my computer, feeling perplexed. It's raining? Really? The forecast is for rain today? Not only that, but thunder and lightning just now. I have to catch up.

My best critic

So, I was in a "beachy" mood last weekend and changed things up a bit. But, although I really liked the picture in the header, I wasn't sure that it conveyed what I REALLY LOVE to shoot....people. And my better half gently persuaded me in the right direction; these are graceful moves that are tenderly executed with years of experience. (couples take note of this) I am grateful he did. I was breezing through an edit and came across what will probably be one of my favorite pictures for years to come....my new header above....thank you Nicole and sisters of this fine young man!! You most definitely have a winner here IN your hands.
