Saturday is Caturday

Are you ready to start your weekend with an amazing round up of kitty pictures?

Clearly this spot was designed with kitties in mind.

Another great lunch helper moment.

Watching a Digital Photo Recommendations weekly pod cast with me.

What have your cats been up to lately?

V is for (a New Take on) the VA Grounds

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

Many of you who have been following my blog for the past few years know that I live in close proximity to the VA grounds in Milwaukee and wonder through them at least once a month. After three+ years of photographing virtually every aspect of the VA grounds, it can be challenging to do something different.

However, one thing that I had wanted to do for months is take my tripod and shoot some long exposures of the fountain with the VA buildings and Miller Park in the backdrop. I'm really glad that I made a little time for this shoot while the fountain is still on for the season. I'd still love to shoot this area at dusk, but this was a great start. Enjoy.

Check out what the other Alphabe Thursday participants posted for the letter V this week right here!

a little peek at fall in the Midwest

Fall 2013 was my first fall with an SLR. As some of you may remember, in addition to a huge seasonal team writing project, holiday shows, and church commitments, I had this and this happening. I certainly didn't slack off in taking photos, but to say that I slacked off in taking outdoor pictures in the fall is an understatement. I literally have no photos that show off the colors that I'm sharing in this post today. This time of year is still insanely busy, but I've been taking advantage of every spare moment to get out and capture those colors this year. Enjoy.
