We had a nice rain storm last night and there are a few puddles but overall I think it drained fairly well given that we've had more rain over the past few months than I've seen in my entire life. And I lived in Florida for my first 25 years too! Anyhow, I think once there's grass to soak up some of the water it's going to be great.

Backyard in progress

We've been slowly developing our backyard into a usable lawn for the kids to run around for a couple of years now. Thankfully the rain let up today just long enough for the trucks to bring in the fill and top soil so we can plant the grass seed. Here are se pics from the project.

Tanks on the Highway!

It's not every day you see a couple tanks rolling down the highway on your way home from work. I was lucky enough to get close and get a shot from my iPhone. Have I mentioned that I love my iPhone? : )

Rainbows and Roses and Whiskers on Kittens

I was lucky enough to catch a rainbow on my way home from work the other night. I ran home to grab my camera and a barefoot Julie jumped into the car to help me chase down the pot of gold. : ) It goes to show that the best camera is always the one you have with you since the only picture I got was with my iPhone.

I had the pleasure and fortune of taking pictures at Erin's wedding who is a co-worker of mine. The setting, atop of Mount Battie in Campden State Park, was absolutely gorgeous. It was really easy to get some nice shots, all I had to do was expose properly and let Dan, Erin and the view do the rest! : )
