Bowling in Bay City, MI

Yes, I went bowling so now I'm officially a Bay Citian. One cannot live in Bay City, MI and not bowl.

Thanks to Scott Pacheco (now in Miami) and Ryan Stanton, writers at The Bay City Times, for 

organizing the weekly Wednesday night bowling at Washington Lanes. I even broke 100, once. Extra

thanks to fellow photo intern Adrianne Bonafede for taking this excellent photo with my Fuji Instax Mini.

Caught in the act.

I came home one day and found Ella sound asleep on the futon couch. She looked so sweet and innocent. 

I stood in front of her for a bit and took some photos. The clicking sound woke her up and she gave me

her guilty doggy look and then quickly scampered off. No punishment given here, just cherishing all the

moments I can get with my 13-year-old goldie.
