A Touch of Color

I'm over Winter already.  I cannot wait for Spring!

Footprints in the Snow

I went out early in the morning to take some pictures and left a trail behind me.  

Daybreak

Daybreak over some California mountains.  I just happen to have been awake and since I always have my small camera in my purse, I pulled over to capture this moment.  I love everything about this shot; the rays breaking through, the clouds hovering the mountain peaks, the vehicles' headlights dotted along the freeway, and the higher wisps of clouds appear to be on fire.  

A Dog's Day on the Job

I met this friendly gentleman while I was walking around on the Santa Monica Pier.  His dog caught my attention; completely taking it easy while his owner performs his own music for all the tourists.  Life is so hard for this cute ball of fur, isn't it?

Meet Memphis

This is Memphis, a long-haired brindled Dachshund who loves nothing more than to be held, especially like a baby.  Adorable, isn't he??  Most of my friends have pets and as much as I would love to own another dog or cat, now is not the time.  In the meanwhile, I get my pet fix through them.  Naturally, I tend to take a lot of photos of their pets, too.  Why?  Because they're--just--so--cute!!  How can you not love that face?

Unconditional Love

I captured this beautiful moment during my nephew's first birthday.  He had a thing about pressing his forehead up against another.  In this case, his mommy.  This is one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. 

First Snow of the Year

Morning, January 2, 2012.  We had a storm come through all day yesterday and it continued to fall overnight.  We woke up to roads still blanketed with snow, untouched by plows.  My first winter in a long time and I felt I needed to capture this winter wonderland.
