This is a photo of my father and his new cat Deliu. Deliu had been at Pinellas Animal Hospital for weeks recovering from a broken pelvis. She was in need of a home so I persuaded my parents to adopt her. In just a few short weeks, my father and Deliu have become inseparable.

Deliu insists my father play the piano for her regularly (he's a composer/musician). She is intrigued watching the hammers rise and fall as he plays. After a while, she just settles in and listens contently.

Another beautiful day of canoeing on the HIllsboro river offered up this shot of a rather large gator.

I've also been continuing work on my shoreline series.

This is Padame. She graciously modeled for me for a recent submission for Popular Dogs' French Bulldog issue, due to publish in a few months. Padame recently delivered a litter of six beautiful pups.

Keep your eyes open for the upcoming Popular Dogs Lab issue. There will be eight LME images included in that issue.
