I do so love the cats. I really like when they respond to me. This guy did earlier but I loved this profile too.
27-MAY-2013
Draining the pool and starting fresh. Hopefully we get it done before summer is over. It is definitely taking longer than expected. Before all we needed was frogs and lily pads.

If he wouldn't let you shoot him in the head with the ubberly cool modern fly swatter. What fun would that be?
24-MAY-2013
Had a shoot with an amazing up and coming model and she had this little one with her. She kept saying to me, "What about me?" So... during outfit changes I snapped a few. I think she is made for it!
23-MAY-2013
I love how the light shines through the petals. The flowers last so long. I have it by my tub where I can see it every day and it gets some nice moisture from the shower. Hope I can keep it very happy.
22-MAY-2013
This was one of the beautiful Mother's Day flowers I got from my great kids. This is just a very small section of this plant but I so loved these three tiny flowers together.
21-MAY-2013
Nice coming home gift. So glad he will finally be out of the danger of war. Now to just avoid the dangers of everyday life in Sunny California.
20-MAY-2013
Drug this in had it polished up and used for three shoots last weekend. Getting a lot more use than stuck in the dusty garage.
19-MAY-2013
Fun new studio prop all shined up by Anna Jackson and Ted Greganti. I had three boudoir shoots today so it got some use already. Some great funky photos. Stay tuned! Need to let the hubby's see them first!!
18-MAY-2013
American Kestral is coming to sit in an Orange tree right outside my front door for the last few days. I was told by Laura from the PPS photography meet up that it is the smallest Raptor.
17-MAY-2013
Great Birthday party for my daughter Mindy. Her Husband and sister-in-law planned an absolutely beautiful sit down dinner for her. It was amazing. All food was made by Chef Anna and was extraordinaire!
15-MAY-2013
Ooooops! Forgot three buildings in this shoot or lost the images. How the heck does that happen??? Good thing it was not a wedding. I would never be the only photographer for a wedding. No redoes...
12-MAY-2013
Oh my gosh, poor little Lucy! She is terrified. Madi never took her hands off of her but she is still scared. We tried to teach her where the steps are so she could get out if she ever falls in. No such luck. She is such a twit, she has already fallen in twice. Thank God Carla was home to rescue her.
09-MAY-2013
This guy is just down a little alley way trying to sneak a quick smoke when Robert spots him. This draws several other Photogs attention and now this guy thinks he is being attacked by the Paparazzi. He is so good natured about it. He may have even enjoyed being our celebrity for the day in Carlsbad, CA. Coooooool...
08-MAY-2013
Fun Job, A little challenging with the weather. No smiles required and no complaining.
05-MAY-2013
I do love the rain and we really need it. I have had a broken sprinkler for a while and the grass is really dying. Ever little bit helps.
27-APR-2013
Beautiful Bride and groom. Wonderful ceremony and fun party. Lots of nice people and great food.
23-APR-2013

22-APR-2013
I would love this job. This girl had a smile on her face the whole time. These little guys were thrilled to see her. I would have a ball.
18-APR-2013
Delightful outing with the nice photogs of PPS in San Diego, CA. It is aways a fun and interesting time when we get together. I don't get to meetup with them as often as I would like but always enjoy when I get the chance.
16-APR-2013
What a wonderful concert put on by the students of Margarita Middle School. They are soooooo talented and the teacher is AWESOME. We will definitely miss her as she is retiring this year.
15-APR-2013
This is probably one of my favorite flowers. I really love the dark purple the best but these are lovely too.
14-APR-2013
Another Mosquito Hawk must have tried to take on the cat. He lost. I sure hope it was a quick death. I must rescue and carry outside at least one of these a week. The cat just will not leave them alone. Poor guy.
14-APR-2013
The ducks are back and they are helping to wreak havoc on the pool. It is getting more and more like a pond every day and I keep saying all I need are some lilly pads and frogs. I wouldn't be surprised if a few move on up from out of the creek soon.
13-APR-2013
Three weeks worth of birthday for this little guy. This is the official party in the park. Birthday boy and his little friend share some quite time under a shade tree.

Amazing new design of his wonderful Spizzi Drink machine. Great to get a chance to be involved with this fun and useful new product. Best of luck on your launch. Check him out and buy a Sprizzi Drink machine for your home or office.
08-APR-2013
I do love these guys. They seem so curious. They are just watching me and don't seem the least bit bothered. Cheese! or should I say Bird Seed!
06-APR-2013
I planted these 16 years ago as just a bare root twig. It has grown so large and beautiful. It doesn't get the proper care but just keeps growing. It doesn't produce as it would if someone knew what they were doing but it sure is a lovely plant.
05-APR-2013
Oh I do love Spring! I wanted to wait and catch all of these little blooms opened at one time but what I didcovered was that they actually open one at a time and then never seem to reopen.
04-APR-2013
I was admiring a cute little thread holder that sits beside my Auntie's chair and the next thing I know I have a present of one that my Uncle Warner made for me. We acn always find a nice project for him. He is sooooo talented.
03-APR-2013
Every body on FB is talking about getting a cute pool boy. I have the BEST but I don't like to share. He is just toooooo cute for words!
02-APR-2013
Oh, oh fire season is already getting started. I have stopped to take a photo out over the valley and next thing I know, they are coming up the hill. Just don't go to my house! Hope it is only a little brush fire somewhere.
01-APR-2013
Out for a little sunshine. These little guys always make me smile.
31-MAR-2013
We are having our family get together for Easter and Lawson's Birthday is just days away. He started the celebration a week ago at school before Spring Break and it will just go on and on...
26-MAR-2013
What a handsome guy. Soaking up some rays... Does she ever put that camera down??? Not often!
24-MAR-2013
Oh how I love these. I do love the color purple and these seem brighter than ever this year. The nice cool overcast day helps to capture this amazing color.
23-MAR-2013
What a fun event to cover. There were all ages, heights, weights, national origins, but all women, joining together in solidarity to raise funds for a worthy cause, get some exercise, and have a lot of fun. Just the photography kicked my butt without the run!
22-MAR-2013
Peanut butter in a small bowl without a lid is NOT a good snack for the car on a hot day!!! Just sayin'...
P.S. that is the "Lucky Penny" I found on the ground when I stopped to get my mess under control in a parking lot!
19-MAR-2010
It never seems to end... another critter needing our help. Anna babysat for all day and then released him when it got dark.
17-MAR-2010
What a great time with a friend from Photography classes at MSJC in Menifee. She asked me to assist her on a shoot and it was great fun. Her results are beautiful and it was quite the adventure.
16-MAR-2010
Not just the Mailman, It's EDDIE. We will all miss him so much. What a smile he always put on our faces. He didn't just deliver our mail. He was a friend!!!
15-MAR-2010
Great time with my little niece teaching her how to sew. My grandma taught me when I was 8 years old. Liz had a blast and wanted to know if we can do it again tomorrow. I think we have a seamstress in the making.
13-MAR-2010
Sometimes I think I spend my life in the rescue mode. This poor guy was just minding his own business when Mocha decided to harass him. Got him outside but I think one leg doesn't look too good. Hope he is ok!
11-MAR-2013
What a fun day with a very fun client. We found some great pretties and even bought a few.
10-MAR-2010
Oh dear! Time to get out there to work in that rose garden. I was just taking a photo of the beautiful new tiny leaves and what did I see when I blew it up??? ugh!
09-MAR-2010
Always fun and lots to see and photograph at the Temecula Rod Run.

07-MAR-2010
Two wonderful models that are always available to help us out.

23-FEB-2010
Natural Beauty, both mother and daughter. Such a great fun shoot.
21-FEB-2013
Just one of the shots from the session with a most delightful couple. After a very short time it was very apparent that she was quite relaxed and a natural model, comfortable and charming in front of the camera.
20-FEB-2013
Taking the lift up to see the Polar Bears and it started to rain. Most people had left when the rain looked eiminent. There were a few of us stragglers though.
19-FEB-2013
I watched as this man tried to con these tourist from Germany out of some money. Said he lost his $200 sunglasses and was so sad. Didn't really seem like a good story to get sympathy with to me. My sunglasses are $5.00 and I am not homeless. I just couldn't feel too sorry. I did end up buying him some breakfast at Anthony's though.
18-FEB-2013
What a delightful surprise when I looked at at this boat in the harbor a spied this guy looking back at me. A cat living on a boat in the water just put a smile on my face.
17-FEB-2013
I love this site with the colors and textures. I love the rusty iron and the bright green mossy plant.
16-FEB-2013
Early Morning waiting at the Ballpark for game time. Working with PBM in San Diego.
14-FEB-2013
As I reached into the bag to get out the potatoes for our ever so romantic meatloaf dinner, out came this cute little heart shaped spud. Made my day!!!
13-FEB-2013
This looks like a very serious pep talk. The girls were great and it was wonderful to spend time with the kids.
12-FEB-2010
The trees are in bloom and the new grass is green. so right for some nice spring photo shoots.
11-FEB-2013
What a beautiful day. Such a delightful view from my kitchen window.
09-FEB-2013
Boy am I such a luck girl. So many beautiful things to surround me. A beautiful chubby little guy to add to my tea pot collection.
08-FEB-2013
Love this little coffee maker given to me by my daughter. The cute little filter is a piece of flannel so nice and frosty white. I have been warned that it will never look like that again after it brews the first cup.
07-FEB-2013
When I went to the bank today there were some undercover police in the parking lot looking across the street and up at this graffitti. I snapped this photo after they left. Pretty pathetic search for something memorable today huh?
05-FEB-2013
My daughter made me this great bowl a few years ago and when I feel like giving myself a treat, part of the treat is eating out of this cute bowl she painted for me. Makes me feel loved!
04-FEB-2013
Oh, I can't believe they are this close to each other. They really do hate each other and the cat usually won't be this close unless I am in the middle. They both think they are the only child!
03-FEB-2013
Uncle Manny helps with the cake. Happy birthday big boy!!!
02-FEB-2013
Go Orange Crush of Temecula, CA What a cute bunch of kids. They did really well. Pink seems to be a very popular color this year.
28-JAN-2013
The clouds were amazing today. Had to stop and try to capture it.
27-JAN-2013
I loved this image but there was sooooo much junk in the background. It is fun for me to try and turn a snapshot into a portrait. I am happy with this one.
23-JAN-2013
The challenge of not only capturing the image but making it presentable because of the glass and sometimes uck smeared on it is keeping me occupied.
22-JAN-2013
Look at this pretty little guy!
21-JAN-2013
We have been going on walks through the meadow. Hoping to start a neww GOOD habit!
20-JAN-2013
Always something new to see on our walks through the Meadow.
19-JAN-2013
Walking through the Common Area in Meadowview and we came upon this unlikely find. Makes me want to do a whole shoot out there around this idea. A romantic dinner by candle light would be fun. I think the generator to light the chandelier might ruin the mood!
18-JAN-2013
I found this unusual relection of light in my room very interesting. I never did figure out just what was causing it. I have never seen it before or since. Just caught my attention and gave me something to think about.
17-JAN-2013
My oldest received Umpire of the year and got to go back to Oklahoma and umpire at Nationals. She has loved sports since she was very small and she is very good at them.
14-JAN-2013
Out trying to find some new Constructions sites that need a photographer to document progress and or a finished portfolio. Old Town Temecula has a few interesting projects. No luck yet though.
13-JAN-2013
Another old piece of artwork documented for prosperity. Not my best talent but something I did while getting my degree in Interior Design. My redecorating concept back in the early 80's for an existing family room.
12-JAN-2013
Another one of the heads I painted long ago. I really enjoyed working in acrylics. I need to get back to some painting in my "spare time". Everybody gets 24 where do they all go???
11-JAN-2013
This is a tea pot I designed and fabricated in my ceramics class at MSJC. It was a great class with Suzie. I MUST get back to it soon.
10-JAN-2013
This is one of the many different heads I painted mannnnny moons ago. It is still one of my favorites.
09-JAN-2013
Delightful gift from my sister-in-law. Lavendar tea with gluten free lavendar bread. Yum yum!!!
08-JAN-2013
Photo Challenge by PPS. Reminds me I need to clean op my entry.

After a fine game of soccer we went for a nice early lunch at Mimi's Cafe.
