Little Mulberry Park

So my family and I took a walk around the lake at Little Mulberry Park near Hamilton Mill Parkway in Dacula, GA. It’s a great little place, you should stop by if you are ever in the area. While at the park we came across a guy walking a gorgeous dog. My wife asked him if he minded us taking the dog’s picture. I snapped this photo of the dog, and in post processing I edited out the leash and collar. Of course I emailed the man a digital copy of the photo for letting me take a picture of his dog. He loved it!

I also decided to shoot a quick photo of my son. He is quite the “model”. Over the years I have used him for almost every shoot I have with kids. He is my sample model and is quite used to having his picture taken. He loves to strike a pose and actually gets upset if you don’t take his picture. He’s changed a lot since the “My son is born” post.

And last but not least, as we walked around a smaller cove in the lake, we noticed a mallard swimming around in the shallows. We walked down the embankment and squatted deep in the briars to try for a clear shot at him. I finally managed to take this shot. The colors are incredible on his head.

Thoroughbred

A good family friend of ours owns numerous horses. My wife went to equestrian college. You can image where she likes to spend her spare time.

Needless to say that she goes there often, and I normally bring my camera. Our friend’s personal horse is the one pictured here. His name is “T.C. Stingaree” but she calls him ‘T-Bird’ for short. I took this photo of him right after he had been given a good shower. I thought this pictured looked almost poster worthy. Hope you enjoy it just as much!

Zoo Animals

I took my kids to the zoo, and of course had to take the good camera with me. Here are a few of the photographs I felt ‘worthy’ of making my site. Hope you enjoy them. Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Flowers

Just practicing a few Macro shots. Found these flowers in the yard and thought they had a nice detail to them. If you look real close, there’s a spider on the yellow one. Can you find it?

The Villages

These are some of my most prized photographs of all time. And they were taken with a little pocket camera (Kodak EasyShare)! These were taken in The Villages, Florida. A great little retirement community. The place makes you want to turn 55 just so you can stay. Really an incredible town. And as you can see, incredible sights. In my entire career, these two photos are still to this day my favorite.
