Saturday must have been an off day for the “Wild Thing” Charlie Sheen, so he partied it up in Elmira at Julie & Ian’s Wedding! All day long we were on the lookout for Jimi Hendrix, but unfortunately he was a no-show.
I was out watering the pompous grass in front of the Office Sunday afternoon & I thought I saw something weird. Upon further inspection I saw that I had a little toad attached about four feet off the ground, to the cinder block wall of the 211 Studio. Must be he just wanted to “hang out” in the shade with all the Pink Flamingos!!!! I never even disturbed his nap!
…..& some totally useless information from my buddy Donny Blide, renowned Frog Expert!
“Nice pic. It’s not a toad like u described in the blog. It’s a green or gray tree frog. Can’t remember which. They have suction cups on their toes and can walk up a glass window. I guarantee, even though you may have never seen one, you have heard them. I’ll send u a link when I get home. I fine like one or two per summer….I kept one for a summer. They are amazing for the fact that they can be frozen solid for days on end with no I’ll effect!”
From the Saturday July 13, 2013 Roller Derby match up at First Arena – Elmira, NY
From Lydia & Shawn’s June 15 Heron Hill / Keuka Lake Wedding. You just never know who may be in the Wedding, until you meet all of the girls Saturday morning at the Hair Salon!
All I could say was……”Holy Pitt!”
A few favorites from tonight’s volunteer gig, my fourth or fifth already, as Official Event Photographer for the 2013 North Chemung County American Cancer Society Relay For Life event at Thorne Street Park in Horseheads, NY.
Great People, Great Time, Great Cause!
I spent late this afternoon at Eldridge Park with Tara & Mark, one of my couples whose Wedding I shared last October. Today we were joined by their boys Angel and little Sebastian, who hopefully & at the same time unwittingly created some magical Father’s Day memories for recall later on in their lives…..of that special Father’s Day, that day when they shared their very first spin on the Eldridge Park Carousel with Mom & Dad.
PS: Note to Photographers: Always come to your shoot armed with Tootsie-Pops, they work great for bribing reluctant portrait subjects, and as you can see in the last image, the associated sugar high really got this little Angel flying!!! Not to mention his making a great new friend with his best new buddy with all the Tootsie Pops….. Mr. Photographer!!!! 🙂
Just got back from Heron Hill Hammondsport & this weekend’s Wedding Rehearsal of Lydia & Shawn of Hill Top Inn fame…. and just couldn’t wait to post tonight’s Celebrity Look-A-Likes ….a couple of real dead ringers too if you ask me!
First off….the 39th President of the United States…Jimmy Carter! Welcome to the Finger Lakes Mr. President!
Also in attendance, of History Channel/American Picker fame, “The Bundler” himself, Frank Fritz.
So whadaya think? Can ya see it folks?
When I got back to the Studio this afternoon I spotted this flock of Geese across the street in the remains of the old Chemung Canal behind the Village Fire Station. That REMINDS me! I gotta pick up a Chicken at Sam’s Club for Dinner tonight!!!
Just a few shots of some different Fungi that I found while walking around my back studio lot near the RR tracks. It’s amazing all the neat stuff that surrounds us on a daily basis that usually goes unnoticed.
So now I’ve got a craving for a pepperoni & mushroom pizza! Who woulda guessed?
