Happy 2011!



Hey all our blog viewers! Everyone knows I'm a photo junky and a people person. So- this in my way to show my photos and talk to my friends & family through my pictures.



It's been awhile since I have written. Well- life is rolling along here in North Carolina. Not much has changed in our lives. We have been searching around for that perfect house to buy.....still looking. (we're REAL picky) We are happy with the home we live in- but looking forward to this next step.



Mert is now teaching 7th grade Math. YAY! I still can't believe he went from engineer to teacher??!! Crazy! It's funny listening to his daily stories- I sometimes feel like his mentor! I'm proud of him & hope that he continues to enjoy it! Like they say- it takes a special person to teach our youth".



The dogs are still kicking! They are moving much slower BUT they seem to be happy. Their once strong muscular legs are now a bit weaker. Not much playful running these days! They enjoy their soft beds & pillow pets...ha! We love you Wrigs & Dottie!



As for me.....well I'm still ME. I still love photography & enjoy learning more & more from my "photo-friends". Shugar-Shots Photography had a fun 2010! I am starting to get back into Yoga & other healthy activities. As always, I enjoy walking my dogs, spending time with my family & spending time with Mert. Life is good!

Zoo Madness!

Over Thanksgiving we all took a trip up to the DC Zoo. It's one of my favorite places to go- especially with my family. Every year we used to go to the zoo to check out the new animals. We grew up knowing many of the animals that were there year after year. The panda babies are now all grown up! For some reason the the giraffes were missing! Since they are my favorite- I was a little bummed out. Maybe they were sent back to Africa! Mert enjoyed himself- but the zoo doesn't thrill him. Seeing animals in captivity seems painful! He only likes animals in the wild so he can shoot them. ha ha!
The Hippo was very thristy! Looks like he might have a cavity!!
