Yes...I Am Still Alive

Unfortunately I do not have the valid excuse of moving to explain my long long long long absence...in my defense, My father has been struggling with cancer this past year and I have been either too drained to do anything too brainy, or just plain busy.

Anyway, about photography, I have not been idle on this subject, Photography gives me joy and allows me to find peace and silence in my now chaotic catastrophe of a life.

Here are a few snaps from this last year (forgive me if I repeat a shot I have already posted)

 I had the honor of taking this famly's Christmas photos,

 

Goofing off with some girls at church.

 Don't be fooled by the following photo...it is not warm, and we are not on a beach in Florida getting a tan...it is actually 50* with a chilly wind at our local state park braving the freezing cold water.

 Some February birds munching on seeds from our deck railing.

More Goofing off (oops I think my photos got scrambled when I uploaded them...and I'm way to lazy to fix that)

My brother got a puppy (full bred Boxer that we named Groot...shoutout to everybody who gets the reference)
