Cinco de Mayo

Today is an anniversary of sorts - 14 years since I joined my current employer.

This morning I am snuggling dogs, scratching their backs and enjoying that they are the pets of the month at my vet's office. POTM involves being on the facebook page and a display in their office. If you click on the link, then click on their photo which is currently bottom right (and I posted it earlier this week).

Pretty, aren't they?  I think the look like snowflakes.

I nursed these through the Atlanta ice storm, and the thunderstorms with their hail.  And here they are!  Blooming!

Any ideas?

Well, do you recognize these?

Well?

They're a bit off the beaten track.

Sometimes when I want to make photos, I just sit back and watch my dogs.  Sometimes I get nothing, other times, I get something good, like this.  At least, I like it.

I woke up this morning to the news that the USA's #1 nemesis, Usama Bin Laden, had been killed by a team of Navy SEALs.  Photos of crowds celebrating at Ground Zero.  Film of cadets celebrating at West Point.

What do these two things have in common?  I'm grateful to those who serve in our military and reserves. I'm grateful that those who lost family and friends on 9-11 have some form of closure.

Grateful that I can be safe at home photographing my dogs.
