Daniel Miller's Shameless Self-Promotion

Louie's First Easter

I've covered Easter egg hunts before but none that involved a kid that weighed 275lbs at birth. (Ouch)

Mary Marries

I recently flew out to San Diego to see my friend Mary... well, Marry. As luck would have it, I managed to take a few pictures of the event.

Mary gives instructions from the aisle during the rehearsal at the Lemon Grove Lutheran Church.

A cherry Chevrolet Corvette rests in the dining area at the Corvette Diner in San Diego. The diner was the location for the rehearsal dinner. [Correction: it was actually a "Welcome-to-town -everyone-and-thanks-for-coming dinner."]

The flower girl is led down a hallway by one of Mary's soon-to-be in-laws minutes before the wedding ceremony.

The happy couple pose for a picture next to the shark tank during the reception at the Chula Vista Nature Center.

San Diego sightseeing

While I was out in San Diego for a friend's wedding I took the time to do some typical tourist-type things like going to a popular Sea themed park and finally to the sea itself.

This seal, in a display enclosure, seems to pose for a picture. As soon as my camera was lowered, he looked at me and swam away. [Correction: It's actually a Sea Lion.]

A pair of sculling teams, practicing for a competition, are framed by the landscaping.
