These Are A Few of My Favorite Things

Best Friends, Butterflies, and the Blue Angels

Best Friends
I wanted to use this post as a thank you to my best friend Shawn:)
You see, All of the following pictures were taken with Shawn's new lens the 80-200mm 2.8. She had not had a chance to use it yet so on my camera it went. Thank you Shawn for being so generous, thank you for sharing a passion with me and thanks for just being there.

Butterflies
The day that I took these pictures I had had the pleasure of assisting Shawn on a large family shoot on the beach. On the way home, we stopped at a park just off the beach. It was beautiful, there had to have been about 20 butterflies gathered on a tree. Guess who had the perfect lens on her camera. Yes, I had Shawns 80-200mm. Shawn knows how I love "the pretty butterflies".




Blue Angels
I was able to hold on to Shawn's lens long enough to make it to the Blue Angel 2007 Homecoming Show:) I can remember going to see the Blue Angel Air Shows as a child. I have always admired them. Then I moved to Pensacola (The Home of the Blue Angels!)where they fly by you, at eye level, down the beach, into the sunset. They also fly right over my house for their weekly practices. I love it:) For a little over a year I have been running outside my house twice a week to take a good picture of the Blues. I could not get a shot that I was happy with. Now I have a shot that I am happy with. Thank you again Shawn I could not have taken them with out you and your 80-200mm:)Fat Alert








The Missing Man Formation
In honor of Blue Angel #6 Kevin 'Kojak' Davis whom lost his life on April 21 2007 durning the final minutes of an airshow in South Carolina. My prayers go out the the team and Davis' family. God Speed




These are just a few extra photos I took with the 80-200mm 2.8 lens. Love you Shawn:)
