Donna, making sure her new running shoes match her new running shirt. The reason I mentioned irony is because this photo was taken right after we picked up some donuts for dessert, and right before we picked up our Chinese take-out for dinner. We've got a lot of running to do!
Nothing substantial here... Nothing more than mutterings and ramblings and little snapshots from our everyday life.

Buddy-proof
Given the demise of my Nikon P300, I started looking for a 'Buddy-proof' camera and found this bad boy today - drop proof, water proof, freeze proof (never plan to test that feature), dust proof, sand proof and most importantly, I'm hoping Buddy proof. It's a camera that's never been on my radar because I had never heard of it before.
Still upset
Buddy, mom ain't awake yet and I'm still too upset with you to take you for a walk, so if you gotta 'go' you're gonna have to do it in your back yard.
He doesn't seem to be catching on.

Death of a Nikon P300
Five days a week, I leave for work around 6:50am and get home around 6:30pm. As soon as I get home, it's time to take Buddy for a walk. Get home from the walk and it's 7:30-8pm and dinner time. Watch a little tv, unwind, clean up, get ready for work the next day, and the day is over. I do manage to take about 1/2 second to do something I really enjoy - hitting that shutter button while walking Buddy.
Tonight, taking that 1/30th of a second to myself proved to be a huge mistake - Buddy yanked on his leash and spun my wrist so quickly, I dropped my $325 Nikon P300. The lens was extended and it landed right on the tip of the lens.
It's gonna take a while to forgive him for this one and I'm already contemplating leaving him at home all weekend and enjoying a little life without 'em.

Whoa!
Buddy met his first "Joe" this morning during a walk with Donna. Not quite as big as his cousin Joe, but still...
Creatures of habit
Something about this scene seems very familiar to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Buddy... out cold
I'm the go to guy for playing and rough-housing, but when Buddy is ready to chill, nothing calms him more than laying up against Donna.
Still amazed
I continue to be amazed by the iPhone 4S and it's much improved camera. It handles low-light photography so much better than previous iPhones. This is a scene I walk by almost every morning as I head to the Starbucks across the street. Despite how bright it appears to be, the parking lot lights are actually quite dim.

Wildwood Park
We took a trail we've never hiked or ridden in Wildwood Park and happened across this rather scenic view.

Goodbye blue sky
A marine layer is heading in this evening and I'm hoping it's gone by time I wake up in the morning - another day of blue sky would be wonderful.
