I'm getting a lot of questions on the tools I use for the photography on this blog.  The above shot was taken with my new DSLR Canon Rebel T1i  with 18-55 ml lens.  This shot is straight out of the camera. No editing has been done on it other than cropping in on the bee.

Who knew a quote from Dolly Parton could symbolize my life with Loki so succinctly? Loki is what they call an "edgy" dog, suspicious of many things.  And if his anxiety isn't channeled, you end up with crackery.  Living here, in such a diverse environment and exposing him to so much has helped him, and our partnership, more […]
