My foster boys.

And Ralphie now:

What an awesome dog - even my dad (the former Mr. Oh-God-it's-a-pit-bull-hide-the-children) likes him!

Confession: I have a new love.

My dad's Nikon D60. I'm NOT one of those people who considers myself a "photographer" - I'm an accountant who simply has access to a good camera. I'll never have that...oomph that makes someone a true photographer. But damn, it's fun to pretend!

I've already reserved the camera for our June flyball tournament - no flash photography allowed so it should be interesting!

A little luck + a nice camera =
