I captured a few really great shots of both Ele and Ana this day with some good light on our back deck – just playing around really. This one was not even seen through the viewfinder – I just held it down in front of Ana’s face and snapped a few.  I through in a little bit of edge blur with iPhoto and voila – a great portrait of Ana that really shows off the beautfiul Tortie markings that made her and her sister the cute ones to save from the shelter in Alexandria, VA.

In making some choices about the media I produce over the last few weeks, I realized how much joy I get from capturing good photos – and how few of the ones I think are good get any attention.  So I am going to work hard to do at least 200 Pic o’ DaDay’s for 2007 – where I can showcase some photos I have taken and a short story behind them. So here we go…

I took this shot on Christmas Day 2006, from the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.  Kristie wanted to take a walk on the beach, which was still partially covered with snow.  The angle was just right and the BLUE was breath taking.  While I did not get a picture of them, there was a Winnebago from Canada in the parking lot just to my right – the smell of freshly cooked sausages was really strong (and yummy).  For a few more of Lake Tahoe this day, click on the photo or just click here…
