What a great time of year. From all the holidays to share with friends and family; to the beautiful colors of nature and all the leaf piles. 😃🍁

I love fixed lenses. They really make you think about composition. Snapped this close up shot I had to manually focus on. It didn’t come out too bad I think.

Let your little one teach you a thing or two about comedy. Kids laugh on average 300 times each day while adults only laugh 60 times a day on average. You will definitely laugh more being around them. 🤣

Taken with a polaroid macro filter. Not the best things for macro but cost effective. They do work and allow you to get close to take some fun and creative shots.

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am going to
Semper Fi, Do or Die
I don't need a reason why
They come running just as fast as they can
Cause every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man

One of the really cool shows they have at @longislandaquarium are the sea lions.

I had to stand there for awhile to get this one and love how it came out.

There is always that one shot I love of my son from our visit at the @longislandaquarium, and this one is it.
.
No matter how many times we go he has fun exploring everything there.
.
This trip contained the obsession of finding Nemo.
.
Among their indoor exhibits he spotted Nemo in the Clownfish & Anemone Exhibit, and then at the Coral Reef Exhibit where this was taken.
.
The lighting was a little challenging but with a high ISO and preprocessing I am happy.

Photograph of Marine being commissioned to 2nd Lieutenant. This has been a long time coming for a journey that started about 6 years ago.
.
As the Marine closes one chapter and opens another, he thought about how it all started and the decision he made.
.
The ceremony incorporated his Officer Selection Officer (OSO) who is not pictured. Pinning him on the right is his mom and on the left is his enlisting recruiter (retired).

“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”
- J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan)
.
My little guy loves animals. I wanted to bring some to the backyard for him to see and ofcorse me to photograph.
.
I setup this birdfeeder in different spots throughout the yard. The challenge was the squirrels kept eating everything.
.
I had to string it up from a tall tree in the middle of the yard to keep it away from them and allow the birds to feel safe enough to use it.
.
Still suspect, they fly in, grab something to eat, and take off. You can see the seed in this Blue Jays mouth as he flys off.
.
What do you do to attract birds?

Happy National Mustang Day
.
When I was a kid and first saw the Foxbody, I wanted one.
.
Fast forward to late teens; I was able to buy one. It was dirt cheap, and it didn’t start. Armed with a Haynes manual I was able to get it running.
.
This Mustang was a rusty speed bucket, but it was cool rusty bucket.
.
After parting with it I knew I would have another one some day. Now, I am hoping to hold onto this one for years to come so my little guy can appreciate it too.

Create the image you want to see. No one is going to do it for you, and it’s not going to happen on its own.
.
I love finding motivation in images. After staring at this one, I saw a duck looking at its reflection wondering what it sees. Sure it’s just scratching itself but where is the fun in that.

Just a squirrel trying to get a nut.
.
Today, in general, it can be challenging to keep up with everything and everyone. Don’t lose sight of what’s important or the little things. You can’t turn back the clock, and you would hate to think they were actually the bigs things you missed out on.
