Another Pepper Weekend

Just when we thought is was safe to go back into the kitchen, we once again have the "Pepperdome" set up. Check out my earlier post called "Pepperoncini Weekend" to get a re-cap. Again we are dog-sitting Pepper - this time for a week. Stricken with age and some physical disabilities, Pepper is a very (to put in mildly) dependent lil doggie. One of Pepper's favorite things to do is poop - which is why I think we connect. The other day, I took Pepper out on the lawn so he could perform his favorite activity, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Pepper with a big smile, and (clumsily) running around! How did Pepper get these powers? I ran in and grabbed my camera and got some shots....

The Twilight Zone

I was jogging around the neighborhood at twilight (no - really!), when I came across this very cool scene. The streetlight was hitting the back of the stop sign and casting it's shadow on the ground. In the background, you could still see the deep, dark blue of the twilight sky. After finishing my jog (I swear!), I grabbed my camera gear and headed back to the spot. Another cool thing about this photo is the use of a small aperture to bring out the starburst in the street light and I actually used a flashlight to "light paint" the stop sign so the front would be visible.
