Sawyer Brown at the Benton County Fair


Mark Miller the lead singer for Sawyer Brown
Talking on phone to a fan's mother!

Mark Miller Deep into the song "The Walk"
This was certainly one of the best concerts I have been to
and was the third time I have seen Sawyer brown in the
27 years the band has been together after starting out on Star Search

No Cameras?

I saw this and could not resist the photo oportunity!

Sunrise Glow

I saw this on the way to the gym this morning and
had to capture and share with you!

My Gear

Some of my gear I have with me daily.
I hate leaving it home, it might get lonely!

Dallas Oregon Car Show

Four of many photos from the local car show

Accident Response Competition

Preparing vehicles for the next group

Three teams showed up to compete for bragging rights.
Three other teams were not able to compete today
because they did not have the funds for fuel and other expenses.

Potential for something very bad!

If you look at the top left of the photo you will see smoke
coming from a branch that is resting on a power line.

Neighbor's Garden

Neighbors invited me over to photograph their plants tonight,
I found the blooming artichoke to be very inviting

My Boat

What a wreck

Just a small pile up on the hot tub
No one was injured in the making of this photo

I lost track of time!

No photo today! I got involved in watching the MLB All Star Game 2008, it is almost 10 pm and the game is in the 13th inning AL and NL are tied at 3 and still going strong.

Smokin at the Ocean Rib eating contest

Ready to eat?

Is that all? 8+ pounds of ribs in 12 minutes

I have felt better!

Are you gonna eat the rest of that?

Now that I think about it, this was not a good idea!

Alaskan Pirate and Jet-Moon shot

Couldn't pass this one up, he was sitting on a bench in Wrangell Alaska. You could say I shot first.
