Shiloh: An evening fishing with Daddy

Mullet Fishin'

Mullet fishing takes way more skill and practice than I will ever have. I'm so lucky I have PB

First you check this way

Then that

Get ready

And.........................

It looks so natural and graceful when he does it. Me? pfffttt, forget about it!

And ever the watchful companion.............

with the sexy walking out of the ocean shot...................

A great evening on Dauphin Island!

Tomatoes and squash

With a little bit of work.........

just a couple of packs of these......

a few hours in the garden............

a little bit of time and a LOT  of water.......

You end up with this wild forest!

This was after the storms had come through and beat my poor plants up, I have since gotten in there and tied up all the new growth and the sun has done it's job and they are once again standing straight and taller than their stakes.

I am going to have plenty of tomatoes to put up for my tomato gravy this year!

We have been eating the squash for about a week now, the plants are almost finished up. None of that ever makes it to the freezer. I just put them down because they produce so fast it keeps me from picking at the tomatoes too early.

And.........because he's Shiloh.............

The Beach, A Man and His Dog

Of course we start with Shiloh because he is handsome.

I learned one thing, I am not good at photography on the fly.
Need more practice.....

My Next Few Victims

I am slowly getting my head around the whole f stop, shutter speed, light thing with this camera.
Well, honestly, I think I have it for a hot minute and take a great picture, and then turn right back around and take fifteen that absolutely suck!
I guess I am just going to have to practice........

 

No! To dark! Practice..............................

 

 

Getting better. Practice.....................................

 

I was trying to show the vapor blowing with a slow shutter speed. I think I did like 3 seconds. But apparently I moved while I was holding the camera "still" and this one blurred. Practice............

 

Finally! A good picture, with great focus. Of course it was when the boy had finally gotten so tired of it all he stopped looking at the camera.

 

So then I recruited Shiloh. He has always taken great pictures. But every time I whispered his name or whistled he would come to me instead of perking his ears up. We walked a circle around the yard before he finally figured out I wasn't really calling him.

 

"Hey Mom, which is my good side? This one?"

 

"Or this?"

 

 

And the absolute bestest picture of the day. And one I am going to have made into an 8X10 for the wall!!!!!

 

 

 

 

I love this dog! He's so patient, and photogenic.
