Hey Everyone!  I know...I know... once again more than a week has rolled by without a blog entry from yours truly.  This is the place where I am supposed to insert some deep reason why but unfortunately I don't really have one.  Has life been busy...Yes...is that a reasonable excuse...No.

We have been keeping really really busy with our photo workshops and they are still filling up almost as fast as we find new dates.  As of right now I believe that we have a little bit of room left in our Nikon workshop on the 16th of June and other than that they are all sold out.  Our original plan was not to hold any more workshops until the Fall but I believe due to the demand we will be slating some for July and August.

This past Wednesday Rob and I headed back out to Buffalo Pound.  Our hopes were to photograph some deer as the sun was setting but  we are apparently both a wee bit suckish and as the sun started to set it started to get a bit cold with the breeze.  We saw a few deer in the far hills but decided to call it a day.  Of course as soon as we got into the car and started to drive away we actually had to stop about four times to let the deer cross literally right in front of the car...typical.  As I told Rob when we were waiting for them...they were probably just behind us in the thousands laughing their collective asses off!

Total tick count from this trip.  I believe Rob flicked about 6 or so off of his pants and I ended up with 0...whohoooo!!!  My theory was very simple actually... I figured that I would wear shorts and no socks... this way if they ever did end up on me I would most likely see them very easily as well as possibly feel the little blood sucking vermin...yuck! 

So I bet you are all sitting on the edge of your seats wondering what hidden meaning the title of this blog entry could have...well... wait no longer as I am about to tell you the not one but two critical pieces of information that I have learned from this weeks photo shoot.  Number one... polyester attracts wood ticks and not to be outdone... number two... if someone moves their neck the wrong way thus pulling a muscle do not... I REPEAT... DO NOT try to offer any form of assistance in the way of suggesting a muscle relaxant ... ice pack... etc AND... DO NOT try to turn on any form of music or speak PERIOD for a period of at least one full hour from said injury!!  I have since learned that this apparently tends to strain the already pulled muscle even more...who knew!!!  (apparently laughing and making old man comments also don't help the situation but in actuality this I already knew but had to try anyway :) ).

For those of you looking for more clarification I will state exactly what I mean a little bit more clearly.  Regarding the polyester comment... Rob was wearing what from first glance appeared to be a pair of brown polyester pants for our excursion to Buffalo Pound.  He got a wee bit irritated with my comment and stated that not only were they NOT polyester but they were in fact a pair of $170.00 Tilley outdoor indestructible adventure series Mach I pants.  My response... I call it like I see it which basically means that he paid a ridiculous amount for a pair of brown polyester pants ( there will be photos below so that you can all be the judge as I have been known to be wrong...once lol ).  To go along with the statement of how much he paid for said pants Rob also made a statement about some young girls making some comment years back about the fact that they looked good on him to which my response was that I'm sure that there were also young women out there in the world that thought that men with no teeth were worthy of comments.... okay, enough about the pants :)

Regarding the second lesson learned.  Rob apparently turned his head the wrong way while slamming the car door which caused it to become out of place or something.  Believe me...I'm not a whiz when it comes to calculus but I am going to close this paragraph with this equation:  ROB+SORE NECK = GROUCHY.  

Alright... now I will quite rambling and actually post some photos as the last I checked that was the idea behind this.  One of these days I am even going to post video on here as I did shoot some last week but Rob still swears too much as soon as he sees me with the video going and I don't feel like doing that much editing lol!!!
