My dog Pepper turns 4 tomorrow, Oct 21, 2008. Not sure how to celebrate a dog b'day except for squeak toy and good meat. I'm retired but feel like I stay busy with dog, garden, errands for Joanne, my dear wife. I live in near Raleigh, NC. I like to photograph insects really close up, my dog, Pepper, nature scenes, especially in FL where I lived for most of my life. I still like my Minolta 35mm camera but it is easier to grab the Canon A700 to snap a bluebird outside the door.

When you get old, it's hard to remember to stop- I just did- bye.
