Ever wonder what happens when you get between a dog and a chicken bone? That… that is what happens when you try to wrestle a chicken bone from the mouth of a Yorkie.

This year the Tour de France will begin in Rotterdam. As I was walking over the Erasmusbrug last weekend I saw this on the pavement, all the preparations have begun. The excitement is growing! This is a big thing for Rotterdam and while I’m sure the city center will be a nightmare I’m happy that we get the honor this …

Wait, not just yet! If you want to really do it right you have to wait until Wednesday, that is the next full moon. Tonight I looked out the window and saw a beautiful dark sky with a clear moon and I had the urge to get my camera out. I have only the two lenses that came with …
