While back in Wisconsin for a family gathering I had an opportunity to capture some of the beautiful flowers my sister Romelle has grown with such care and attention in her back garden. I'm sure she knows the name of each; I just know they looked wonderful. A small angel stands nestled amongst the colorful blooms.

One Of My Favorite Photos - Thursday, 29 Oct 2009
After many months without having access to my blog I'm going to try to get things caught up as best I can. What better way to do so than with a photo that turned out to be far better than ever expected.
As the sun went down over the tops of the tents, the new concertina wire being installed by one of my contractors was a bitter-sweet site. A glorious sunset - a marvel of nature - a warm and carefree vision mixed with the realities of war - the razor sharp wire that was erected to protect and keep so many safe. A contrast we don't particulary like to see, but one that was/is reality, and can still create an amazing sight worthy of capture and sharing.

Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan - Outback, Carrabba's, Bonefish Grill - Saturday, 17 Oct 09
Tonight we had a very special treat for dinner! I thought it was only Outback Steakhouse coming in to provide steaks, but when we got inside we saw that they had Outback, Carrabba's and Bonefish Grill entrees!!!
Sorry for the blurry pic - I was taking the shot across the room at the dining facility where they had their Outback Steakhouse banner displayed.

It was so hard to decide what to have because they had several entrees to choose from! I wish they would each come a different night so I could have enjoyed all of it!!!
I decided on the Ribeye steak from Outback, the Tilapia w/ Thermadore Sauce and Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill and the Au Gratin Potatos and herb roll from Carrabba's. I'm not sure which one provided the Key Lime pie for desert, but it was scrumptious!! We also had a Bloomin' Onion for everyone at the table!! WAY too much food, but it was delicious!!!

Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan - Random Pics - Friday, 16 Oct 09
Even Camp Leatherneck has it's own unique and impressive structures. It's amazing what can be created from Hesco barriers with a little imagination (and WAY too much time on their hands).
Who needs billy goats to stand on top of anything raised from the ground when we have Marines!
Today I got a group of people together for a very small representation of the diversity of people we have working/living at Camp Leatherneck. We have men and women of all ages, ethnic background, etc from the Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and Civilians working together to acheive one mission! These are only 17 of over 8,ooo!

Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan - Current Office Digs - Monday, 12 Oct 09
In a row of shelters less than a five minute walk from my sleeping tent is our office. We like it here; it's away from the insanity that runs amuck in some of the other work centers.
