National Police Week 2009

National Police Week 2009
I am including a few of the images that we shot during National Police Week 2009 in Washington, D.C. It was a fantastic week full of emotion and honor. We met a lot of wonderful people and were treated with respect and dignity.

Over 17,000 names of law enforcement officer who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
133 names added of those killed in the line of duty in 2008.
254 added in 2009 from historical list, recently verified.

One name is one too many.

“If not me, than who?”

Desert Shots - Spring 2009

Decided it was time to add a few images out to the blog. Many are in and around Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Others are on adventures through out the state or right in the backyard. I think it is safe to say that all are shot in Arizona.

The night blooming Cereus shots are all from a recent trip to Tohono Chul park in Tucson. That was too cool as they stay open until midnight one night per year so that folks can enjoy the blooms that wilt away during the following day.

The key to this for me is getting out to shoot some images. Summer heat may put a damper on outdoor shots, but I am pretty sure I will find a way to add a few images out here. Working at the computer will keep me out of the heat. J Hope you enjoy…
