My wife has often said that we need to place our cat, Boston, into modeling. I have often said in response that maybe we shouldn’t but perhaps this photo is enough to show that it might be an okay idea.
I love taking photos of him and he loves having his photo taken. He is seriously photogenic and he knows it, so he flaunts it.
Today is Thanksgiving in America and Canada.
We attribute this holiday to the Pilgrims that sailed from England in the 1600’s and a meal or feast that celebrated a good harvest.
There is much debate about what actually happened that first time these Pilgrims had this Day of Feast/ Day of Thanksgiving while here in North America, but we know that they were grateful they had food after sailing in a ship that suffered from all manner of illness and disease.
What are we most thankful for? What do we hold most dear in our lives that we gather together to discuss and share? What are we doing to display that thanks everyday?
I am thankful for the beauty of life, this beautiful Earth, and the people I share it with. Not everyone is lucky enough to be with family this day but we can help out those that need it. I am most thankful for my wife and the love that we share. I could not imagine my life without her and the joy she brings and gives day.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you find what you are most thankful for and show that each and everyday you are here on this wonderful Earth we are blessed to have.
Take care and keep up the art.
Beautiful long exposure of the Tucson setting sun from Mt. Lemmon.
My wife and I took a trip up there to catch a beautiful sight and this was the result of waiting for just the right moment.
Hello to all that may have just stumbled here,
I am glad to announce that I am going to use WordPress as my showcase for much of my photography work and other projects.
I am an amateur photographer looking always at things with that artistic eye that many of us have but do not use on a regular basis.
I love taking photos on my phone and tweaking them later. I love taking photos with my DSLR and tweaking those as well.
I plan on uploading, again, the photos that I have uploaded over at 500px.com/perkins_g.
I plan on abandoning that outlet and sticking to something that I can update on a more frequent basis.
Look for many of these in the future starting likely with the photos from my 500px album.
Thank you all for finding this and I hope that with my work I can help to inspire you all to look for the artistic outlets that each of us has and love.
Take care and keep up the art!!
