scared of the new ride.....



sallie branch, also a hard working student on guitar, vocals, and school.

between her busy schedule of school, life, and crewing she traveled to...

denmark!  one of her best friends father is the new ambassador.

so she spent her spring break in copenhagen.





oh the life of the rich and famous.....everybody is happy.

doesn't she look in her element?  she told me she shopped a lot....and had a blast.

so my spring break was spent in costa rica.  i spent as much time on this beach
as i could.  over 5 days i took 1500 images.  i'd put you to sleep with all of them so here's a sample.

i spent mornings looking around the tidal pools for wild things.

click the beach scene below and see the full view.

when i die i want to be laid to rest right there with a little breeze blowing.

over the coming weeks i'll create a page with a lot of the pictures you can see.

there were so many plants and animals and insects i've never seen before.

i went back three days in a row to shoot leaf cutter ants at work.

i took a ton of photos from the planes.  this was drake bay swinging in for a landing.

my favorite lunch spot in the whole wide world.



anyway.....i had the time of my life and it changed me.  the jungle, a quiet beach, great food.

at the end of it all a dead battery had us all waiting for aaa at the airport and i saw this bike.

it was 2am and we'd traveled pretty much since 5:30am the prior day...it glittered..it caught my eye.



then...our hero arrived just in time to save the day.



finally...a little drive by shooting.  i'm getting better using the speed/action settings.

in all these the car is traveling at least 35mph.  i'm takin what i can get.
