Mr Ring
male ring duck in the morning light. Good Day All! Detailed 2 cars yesterday in the heat. By the time I got in at 2 after being out since 6 I was wipped. Not 30 any longer LOL. Did the full Cermic-Graphine on the Maxima like i did on the Camaro last year. I must say that Adams stuff is amsome and easy to apply. Prep just a Pain the the tail. But good now for at least 4 years :). Going in for my back on Thursday and the Car work on the camaro in friday so I will be out both day. FYI. Just shots but not looking forward to that long bloody needle I am a wimp :). HAGD Folks!

Food!
I captured this guy through the trees with sometning in his mouth. I thought the shot was cool! Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts on Marco. We were up in Richmond with our daughter yesterday delivering furnature and having dinner.
In Rememberance
This is our cat Marco. He lost is battle with diabeties late last night. We knew something was going on but not what. Looking off into space and not eating much for the past week after a good vet visit last week. We took him to the emergancy vet but he was at the end so he did not suffer. We are both sad and his sister misses him. Thanks for you kind thoughts and have a good rest of your week.
