Bush Lake Park
June 29, 2008
We took a quick trip to Bush Lake Park specifically for a few photos. We let the dog play in the lake for a little while as I took a few pictures. I have some great ones of him doing some “jowling.” Maybe I’ll have to post them sometime.
Anyway, I did get a few decent pictures [...]

What do you think of this one? I need to be more careful with background items or at least fix the [...]

A start in earnest
April 13, 2008
OK, I haven’t done so well. Now, I’m starting in earnest. Digital-photography-school.com has a weekly contest. This week was “spring.” Spring in Minnesota is a bit cold so I wanted to convey the icy nature of the lakes here. Enjoy!
By the way, this is not my dog. We do have [...]
