Laura Graves asked for some head shots. She loves my Bella, and Bella loves her! Two beautiful souls here:

Found this (I know what it is, do you?) on my porch and found the texture and colors just too intriguing not to do a close up shot. Just thought it was cool.

Took a few close ups of the roses I received for my birthday. So pretty.

Season's Greetings. Winter is difficult, dark longer, more isolation, and of course this year Covid-19. The snow storm that fell on my birthday was such a lovely gift. If you like this photo, please download it and use it freely. I don't celebrate any holidays really, but take the inside time to reflect on my life, and the world in general. It's been a difficult year for many reasons, most of which were caused by the GOP and that Petulant Orange Child-In-Chief POTUS. In the... coming year, I ask all to try to be kind, even in the face of anger or distress. No way to know where that anger is coming from so return it with kindness (not racist bull shit, or hate.....bloody jump on that like ugly on tRump!). As you drive about, and see a homeless person help them out. I give food and money, but at times will stop and talk to them and find out what they need. Last time they wanted blankets, so they got blankets. A wonderful and kind friend, Laura Graves, told me about Servers and Bartender's that needed help (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2725139617751276/?ref=share). We teamed up to give this family in need a little cheer. So go in search of how you can help our brothers and sisters here in Pittsburgh or wherever you live and help them out. Not just now, but all year long, that is if you have the means. Peace, love, and happy holidays to you all!

Maxx by the leaves, and Bella "IN" the leaves.

Various headshots and portrait shots.

Bella loves the Fall.

Visited Yellowstone while visiting friends. Didn't have but one and a half days, but I still got some nice shots. I need to spend a week there to get the light where I want it for some areas. http://img.gg/4C3ZNZ8
