Niagara Falls

While Joshua was in town, we decided to visit the Mighty Niagara Falls. I thought I'd share some photos. I used my G11 for these photos, and was very pleased with the outcome.

Josh Herbeck's Graduation Party

What a wonderful day for a party! Congratulations Josh! It's unfortunate that by the time I got the camera out, you were nowhere to be found... until the final group shot. Oh well, it was a great day. It was nice talking with you. Hope you like the pics.

Our New Liner

Well, I was in the process of tearing down our pool. I was hoping to purchase a new one next year. As I began the process of tearing it down, I realized that I could probably tackle the job of replacing the liner. I carefully removed what needed removing, cleaned everything up, patched the rust hole and got a sweet deal on a liner... had a connection. Here is the nearly finished job.

Couldn't resist putting this in!

Thank you ShelbyJ for sending this to me. I just love this country so much, when I hear things like this, it sends me!

Valley Falls, West Virginia

Well, we drove Leah to Mt Salem Revival Grounds, here in West Virginia, and left her in the good care of the Ewing family. We were then left to fend for ourselves. We drove 25 miles to our hotel and literally crashed.

On Friday, rested and refreshed, we decided to do some sight-seeing. We found ourselves at Valley Falls for the day. The spot we selected was graced with two levels of water falls cascading into a foaming pool below. It was wonderfully sunny and warm (HOT) but still very enjoyable.

While we sat, soaking up some sun, a group of young people, carrying kayaks paraded by us. Here are some of the photos I took of them. Unfortunately, the sun was directly overhead and I was fairly far away. The 70-200mm lens was nice, but can only get so close!

Joy and Cliff

Here are your photos Joy! Hope you like them.

Meet Mia Annette!!

Last week, I had the pleasure of taking family photos of Pastor and Mrs. Costantino's clan. It was a rather large gathering, but it went very, very well. The kids cooperated in the very best way! I had a great time. Hope they did too! Here is a photo of the newest addition to their family. Please welcome Mia Annette.

Tethered Photography

FINALLY! found the correct settings for my tethering program. Stay tuned. I love, more than anything to do portraiture. I think this will help immensely. Pity my girls, as I use them as models for this endeavor!!
