I love blogstalking local photographers. One of my favorite is Suzanne Plant aka Lookie Loo Suz (link). She is also doing a 365 challenge a couple of days ago she posted a great picture of an apple (link). I loved the picture and when I saw the apple tree in my backyard I thought I would pull a copycat. I hope she doesn’t mind

Than I was able to capture here. I wish I was able to snap my fingers, and have the skills that others have spent years perfecting I thought that this looked great, my eyes lied the camera didn’t. So I will just say it tasted great.

You may know it as pull apart bread. I know it as monkey bread. We had some left over caramel sauce that I had made and my wife came up with a great way to use it. It was really really good. We plowed through the whole thing in less than a half hour.

I “discovered” these awesome hashbrowns. OK by discovered I mean, they were using them at girls camp. They are pretty incredible. Great tasting, easy to make, and super easy to store.

It’s the start of a long holiday weekend. Time to fire up the grills. I hope you all have a great 4th of July.

This is not “styled” I am aware of that. In-spite of that I think it flows with the title. I need to put together a BBQ food session sometime soon.

Well summer is almost over. I know it is the middle of July, but that’s how it is right. Now they are little green apples and before you know it they have turned into big mature apples ready to go on to their ultimate purpose. I seems to happen overnight, and that is just the way it is.
50mm f/4 1/1250s
Yes I know this applies to the little ones in my house as well.

We were at a family dinner to celebrate my cousin coming back from his LDS Mission. As soon as I saw this dish come in I know that I had to have a picture of it.
105mm f/8 1/80s
I was hand holding both the plate and the camera so the focus is softer than I would have wanted.
Day 132 – Thistle
Yeah I know this is unorthodox, but hey it’s my blog and I’ll post what want to. I really liked both of these pictures but for different reasons the top is something I love the bottom something I hate. When I was young, 10-13 I am guessing. Acrossed the street between the road and “sidewalk” from our house was a field of these Russian Thistles. I am not sure it was a punishment for some wrong doing I had done (or was going to do), but one of my jobs during the summer was to go and cut down these evil plants. If you have never had any dealings with thistles they have thorns awful thorns. Anyway I remember clearly being in this mess of plants taller than me trying to cut them down with a shovel and then trying to dodge them as they came down. Then moving them to a pile with the stupid thorns going through my glove like butter. I kept dreaming that someone see my struggles and give me a reward/key to the city/interview in the newspaper. Alas nothing not even a thank you from the lady acrossed the street. Rarely, do I see that space without thinking back to how hard and miserably I worked doing a thankless job cleaning out an area that wasn’t even ours. I am amazed that I am as well adjusted as I am.

As in reap what you sow. Every so often I shoot a “stock” photography shot. This is one of those. I played around with having my daughter stand over grass or bare dirt and I thought the green would be a better backdrop for the yellow.
105mm f/4.0 1/125s
I like this shot and it was kind of what I had in mind. Nice
