This is probably my favorite of many pictures of my beautiful girl, Ilsa. Her eyes embody everything we love about the German Shepherd Dog; intensity, strength, loyalty, fearlessness, calmness. Ilsa had all of these things and more. She will always be loved and greatly missed.

This photo is a change of pace from the normally sun-drenched Sicilian coast. The beach resort town of Lido Rossello on the southern coast can be seen in the distance as the dark clouds roll in.

Sampieri is a small beach town on the southern coast of Sicily. Here I found this fisherman mending his nets after a morning on the water.

The Piazza della Republica in Ragusa Ibla is a favorite gathering place for the pensionati (retired guys) to pass the time.My wife and I walked through this piazza many times and they were always there.

Last year my wife and I vacationed in Sicily for one month. This photo was taken from the church of Sana Maria della Scale (St. Mary of the Steps). It is aptly named as one needs to climb a few hundred steps to get to this vantage point. The city of Ragusa Ibla is beautiful by night.

Earlier this year a mantis case hatched and there was an army of .25 inch (6mm) critters running around. Spotted this guy a few weeks ago on a low bush. He gave me enough time to grab my tripod, set up and snap a few shots.

My wife found this happily munching on our tomato plant. We recycled it into the food chain. Let's just say "It sleeps with the fishes".

She was black as the night. The snow was whiter than white. These were some tough shooting conditions. Only a few keepers and this is probably the best.

The feeling I get from this one matches the subject perfectly.

Causey said this: "Sheer insensitivity to life"
And there you have it. Plain and simple, this is the root cause in each and every case of these horrific mass killings. When I was a kid this stuff rarely, if ever happened and we were allowed to take guns to school for Shooting Club.

Evidently, some of us have not heard of sarcasm and have very short or deficient memories.
Remember a thing called Katrina a few years back...
If you were paying attention in 2005, liberals accused President Bush of steering Katrina to New Orleans because too many blacks lived there. Of course, no one took them seriously at the time. Rush was illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
Just google - bush steered katrina new orleans - for a walk down memory lane.

Selective editing by left wing news network MSNBC to make the object of their disdain (in this case Mitt Romney) look bad. This is about the third time this year they've been caught at this. And yet it goes largely unchallenged. I guess this is what we have to look forward to in the campaign. Sheesh.:(

As far as I can tell, none of you were there, none of you was an eyewitness to the events. Why does everyone feel the need to be armchair detectives, prosecutors, defense attorneys, etc. in this case. The only information you have to form an opinion is not the evidence, not the facts, but just the drivel you are hearing on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and all of the other media outlets with their own agenda... RATINGS. It's been taken out of the hands of the locals now. Let the justice system work.
