For a duck, there's very little on this earth as satisfying as a good solid stretch right before a long nap. 

Amazing insects of the world, unite! 

True visionaries are hard to come by. Little Black Dog for Secretary General of the U.N.! Heaven knows she can't do any worse than any of the other worthless figureheads installed in the post over the years. 

Someone insists on bringing their Great Dane/Clydesdale cross to the dog park. S'alright, cause little black dogs love to annoy, run from, and chase such large breeds.

What the? What's that sign say? 

Well, it's good to see someone's thinking of them. 

Look at that positively crestfallen expression! Sheesh. 

Unhappy little black dog, called back to the leash after almost leaving on her own little jaunt. 

Little black dog, stalking something. Since it was over the fence, I'm not sure what she was interested in. 

Let there be light! 

More sunlight! 

Sunlight! 

Aiiieee! The world, it tilts! 

"MUST we discuss Aristotle? I wanna go inside and get a treat!" Don't you wish you could read your dog's expressions so well? 

Same view as above, but zoomed out 7x. Too bad the trees only get really colorful about the time it gets grey and rainy in Cincinnati. 

It's definitely fall here, and what better instrument to capture the images than an 8MP camera with the color in "Vivid"? 

I took this one today. There were no tree rats in the back yard for my little black dog to chase, so she spent some time trotting around pretending to hunt. 

The beginnings of a learning experience. Hint: If you want good beef stew, DO NOT grill the meat before stewing. It's disgusting. I got all the other elements down right, the texture was amazing, for instance. But the taste left much to be desired. 

It was a short flight, as you can see. 

Mockingbird in flight. I took this with my wife's Konica Minolta Z2, a trim little ultrazoom camera if there ever was one. 

Aiiieee, the flash! 

Photography, as an Art, is the study of Light on Form. Or, if one wishes not to be a pretentious twit, it's the process of making a pretty picture.
