Swim Lessons

Swim lessons are big in Arizona. This is at one of the Chandler city pools. The lesson today, don't dive like this!

An Oldie

My son, Tyler about 6 years ago. He's a senior in high school now. Feeding the Giraffe at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park, AZ.

Treo shot

I have two cameras. One, is my Kodak EasyShare. One, is my Treo phone. While the treo doesn't have a flash and doesn't necessarily take as good a shot as my Kodak, at least I have it all the time.

In Chandler, we don't have a lot of storm drains. So each neighborhood usually has water retention areas for the occasional downpour. Here's one in my 'hood. During the dry times, we use it like a park. When it rains, the water will flow down the street and into this catch basin.

Kids love to play in the temporary lake. Sometimes you even see the sprinklers going off and you get an impromptu fountain. Now that would be a picture!

35,000 feet up?

We are traveling back from a vacation to Ohio and Indiana today. This is an archived shot from one of our earlier travels. I'd like to say it's Arizona down there, but I don't remember. Does it look familiar to you? We must be nearing landing, because the plane is not at 35k at this point.
