The mere happenstance of thunder.

Not 10 minutes ago I had the deep and sinking inner desire to take a picture of thunder. 9 1/2 minutes ago, it rolled, tumbled, and cracked in a way that only Arizona thunder can, stirring up jealousy and severe inner angst and sadness inside of me because I could not, in fact, capture and frame what I so entirely wish I could.

I would just like to let it be publicly known that I felt personally victimized by this act of nature and I felt that its mocking was indeed childish and

quite unnecessary.

(Here is my sad and terribly disappointing excuse for portrayal of the greatness of Arizona's afternoon storm, completely incomplete without the representation of thunder)

Obituary

Howie was born long ago on a rainy night in April.

He was given the name Howie after "Hungry Howie's

Pizza" but was never asked if he even liked pizza. He

was born and raised in Mesa, AZ and his childhood

wasn't the smoothest experiences, but as he grew into

adulthood he conquered any rocky or thorny patch in

his way. He was a fighter like that.

Howie was known and loved by all who met him. He

had a sparkle about him that could light up anybody's

eyes. He would greet everyone he saw with excitement

and genuine interest. He spent his time swimming and

relaxing in his home. He was a simple guy; he never

needed very much. Though he suffered from mild dep-

ression early on in his life, he was able to overcome

it and become the fantastic being we all knew him as.

His time with us was far too short as he took his own

life in a tragic household accident. He is survived by

countless family members and innumerable friends

that will forever have his imprint in their hearts.

Through all of his ups and downs, he proved to be a

first rate friend and a truly golden piece in every life

he touched.

The physical appearance of the please makes no difference..

Oh...the stories of my life...

=HOOT=

..and my heart just keeps on smiling..

I just happened upon something quite amazing..My heart is still smiling one of those "ear to ear smiles"..but perhaps, if its my heart, it might be "shoulder to shoulder"...

..Anyhow...please do this.

Step 1. Go to Google.com

Step 2. type in "who's the cutest"

Step 3. Click "I'm feeling lucky"

You're Welcome.

..and that's when she "quacked"..

I read today that a duck's quack doesn't echo.

I found this strange at first...

...then I grinned as I pictured a duck standing between to rocky canyon walls...

quacking...

I didn't hear an echo either. :)

Chapter #New

Sometimes in the story book of life, a chapter ends. The characters change, the plots shift, and the next chapter awaits your embarkment.

I have reached the end of a chapter, and thus, the beginning of a new one.

A new chapter.

The characters change, some subside to resurface later, others are just not important for the future of the story. However, we will not know for sure until the end of the story, which inevitably has an ending bulging in infinite happiness. There is no need to stress, the ones that are important, will surely come back... and until then,

we just have to turn the page.

I shot my niece...and she loved it!

A couple of weeks ago, my sister sent me a text containing a secret that I had to previously PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE to keep...

She was coming to town!!!!!

She wanted to make it s surprise, hence the "secret". Anyways, she came a week later, the last weekend in April. And it rocked. I have a new toy, you may have heard...the most beautiful Canon 50D I've ever seen. So I put it to good use when they were in town. I filled my card at least twice over those 2 days.

My first photo shoot ever, ladies and gentlemen..

STARING Scarlett Mecque!

These are just a few of my favorites :) Man I love this girl :)

Looks like K Elle Photography is open for business.
