May 27 - Our bike repair wasn't ready so I snapped this shot of the bike display on the way out of the store.

May 26 - Razzberry found this terrier just a little too friendly at the dog park.

May 25 - No question about my favorite photo from this day. Razzberry seems the least comfortable in this pose.

May 24 - We went to dinner at Cafe Des Amis in Breaux Bridge on Friday night. I took several pictures on the way and at the restaurant. I like this one looking out of the restaurant best.

May 23 - I got my new Canon PowerShot camera today and took just a few pictures. I like this closeup of my glasses best.

May 22 - I called this one "Bunk Beds". Razzberry and Rascal don't often sleep so close together.

May 21 - This was another "fill-in" day while I waited for my new camera, but Mom's shots of a shuttle launch last year got a lot of nice comments.

May 20 - Here's a shot from 2007, taken at the end-of-year banquet for 8th graders and their parents. Both the menu and entertainment had a Chinese flavor.

May 19 - I had to post two pictures today. Here's half of a bluegrass band we saw on Sunday in Abita Springs, LA

I call this one "Still Life With Brie Cheese". Some fans at the Abita Springs concert brought this spread.

May 18 - The vet and her assistant give Razzberry an abdominal exam to determine why she threw up all over the living room on Friday.

May 17 - This regular gave one of the best performances at Daiquiri Cafe's Karaoke night on Friday. He sang George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone."

May 16 -Unknown to us, our pug Razzberry was sick when we left the house Friday morning. We found out when we came home to three pieces of vomit-splattered furniture. We're going to the vet today.



May 15 - This is the elevated walkway between the parking garage and the terminal at the Baton Rouge airport as seen from the second floor of the garage. I liked the lighting and the geometry of the windows and the roof supports.

Another photoblogger inspired me to start a new feature here - my Photo of the Day. I'll post here the best picture I posted at www.photoblog.com/dadlak the previous day (my opinion only). Feel free to visit Photoblog to see the rest of my photos.

Black Friday in Tiger Stadium

Along with about 92,000 other people, we went to the LSU-Arkansas football game in Tiger Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Here are some pictures I took outside the stadium and from my seat 26 rows above the 10-yard line.

Newly-renovated Tiger Stadium gleams under the brilliant late-November blue sky.

It's 30 minutes to kickoff as the fans push toward the entrance gates.

Young Mike VI took over mascot duties earlier this season.

The Golden Band From Tigerland plays during pre-game.


Running back Jacob Hester and 24 other seniors are honored before their last home game.

At last, the opening kickoff.

LSU quarterback Matt Flynn looks for room to throw.

Placekicker Colt David stakes LSU to an early 3-0 lead with a short field goal.

Arkansas' Heisman Trophy candidate Darren McFadden takes a handoff.

Tiger fans salute their defense for forcing an Arkansas punt.

The faux-French message "Geaux Tigers" shines from the east upper deck.

Tiger safety Craig Steltz hauls down McFadden near the sideline.

LSU quarterback Flynn directs a perfect pass toward WR Demetrius Byrd.

I only saw one Razorback fan with a "hog hat".


A touchown peeks between a fan's arm and hair.


LSU cheerleaders celebrate a Tiger score.

The Tiger Stadium crowd roars as LSU kicks off (video).

The Arkansas band celebrates a Razorback score.

Tiger RB Keiland Williams breaks free in the secondary.

Balletic Arkansas defenders react to the ball.

An out-of-focus shot takes on an abstract quality. This is how the game might look to me if I were out there (if I could keep my eyes open).






The Tiger Stadium crowd howls on an Arkansas fourth down play (video).




A Tiger running back is stopped just short of the goal line.




On to triple-overtime!


All praise and glory to the victorious Razorbacks!


The Tigers couldn't come back from this deficit. The depressing final score--50-48, Razorbacks. There'll be no national championship for the Tigers this year.
