I’m in southeastern Oklahoma (Tushka) for the weekend. On Friday night, brother and I went to supper in Atoka (Luigi’s), followed by a little drive around town. More later.
I’ve been spending a lot of time in them lately. And my iPhone is always handy.




Nina wasn’t really into the shoot, but I needed the practice.

Another from my natural light session with the pups. I just love how the light wraps around them. Our white ceiling helps to spread the light even more.

I don’t often get Buddy looking this happy. This is the only piece of furniture he is allowed on, and usually only when the protective blanket is on it. I made an exception for our photo session.

I took these photographs while looking out from our lanai in Hawaii. The finches are a little hard to see. Can you find them?
There are four in this photo. . .

But not in this one . . .



Incoming!! Looks like the fella on the left may have a contender for the lovely lady’s affections.


Oooh! Her head has been turned!


But not for long . . .

Someone new swoops in . . .

Handsome!

Island Canary (aka Atlantic Canary)

Silhouetted bird . . .
Definitely not from the finch family . . .


I wanted to get something “new” for this week’s challenge, but I just wasn’t able to get out and shoot. Perhaps this weekend I’ll get the chance. In the meantime, a couple from the archives.
