Untitled Portrait

had another shoot with my friend Mary's son, Cale.  what a cutie, huh?  i was worried about shooting indoors given my limited experience with flash photography.  turns out the lighting wasn't a problem.  

Brown Cows

the last of the cow pictures... for now.

The McKigney Farm

Brown Cow

Stare Down

We spent last weekend at the farm in Glenwood for my father-in-law's 70th birthday!  I found some time to wander the farm and found the cows to be a fun shoot.  They were intrigued by me but took off running the second Goldy got near the fence.  Big mistake bringing her along - guess I didn't think that one through.  Found myself wishing I had grabbed by 70-300mm lens to get some closer shots.  Next time... Pretty sure they'll still be there.

Goldy Gopher

Best shot I could get of this guy.  He moves around A LOT!

Disappointing

We made a last-minute decision to head out in the rain a couple of weekends ago to see the Gophers take on #5 MSU.  What a frustrating loss.  We lead the entire game - usually by 10, at one point in the second half by 13.  But at the tail end of the game, the lead started to slip and with 20 seconds left, we found ourselves down by 1, trailing for the first time.  We ended up losing the game.  Unbelievable... 

Wish we had gotten tickets closer to the court, but when you decide at 9:30 to go to a sold out 11 am game, you take what you can get.  Hopefully we'll make it back and get some closer seats so I can get some better shots!

Cone flower

 

my favorite picture from my trip to the Minnesota Arboretum this past summer.

Greens
