This big girl was an absolute love. She lived up to the breed's nickname... Gentle Giant.

365: Day 80: Blah Blah Blah - 364 pictures today and this is the best I can come up with... I'm screwed!

If this is all I can come up with, I am screwed. I need to get out and shoot something real... something interesting... something that doesn't make me want to puke in my mouth when I review later that evening.

I need to find some homeless people to photograph... they have character... charm... and true beauty... plus they are fairly cheap models.

I want to rip off my own fingernails with a pair of rusty pliers and rinse the bloody nail beds in rubbing alcohol right now... that is the frustration I am feeling over this canned tripe.

365 Day 77 - Free Hugs


365 Day 77 - Free Hugs, originally uploaded by MonkeyPaw2u.

After the week I have had I sure could have used the hug... even from a complete stranger.... Instead I asked if I could take their photograph... and they said yes. They may look like hippies.... but they had heart of gold./// makes me wish I had taken that free hug from both of them.

Goose Eggs


Goose Eggs, originally uploaded by MonkeyPaw2u.

An abandoned goose nest with three unhatched eggs. I felt bad for them when I shot this photo (not going to experience the joys of life), but then again maybe it's for the best... because life can be really unjust and mean... which is why they were abondoned in the first place.
