June

Oh, I love flowers... what girl doesn't? I had a lot of fun in my front yard the other day... playing with my MACRO lense. I'm pretty excited for how these pictures turned out. (I'm also excited there was not a SNAKE sighting!!) Don't be surprised if I post MORE flower pictures... I loved snapping the pics and I loved manipulating them after. Check 'em out...

We all scream...

Meet my neighbors... Mr. and Mrs. C, and their little kiddies.

They were such good sports... I dragged them all over the town!

It was WORTH it,though... beacuse I found my new FAVORITE prop for pictures...

it's guarenteed to bring SMILES. These pictures make me so GIDDY!

Are you ready?

I scream...

You scream...
We ALL scream...

for ICE CREAM!!

Hungry yet? I have one more for you...

I thought that was so sweet.

Thanks, Family C. I had a great time!

Par...

A couple weeks ago, we went up to the Hill AirForce Museum with my sweet grandparents... "Marme" and "Par". My grandpa, Par, flew in the AirForce for many years and knew something about all the different planes we saw there. I love listening to his stories... what an incredible life he had. He is an incredible man, and I love him very very much. Par is in his 80's now... can't always hear... hurts to walk sometimes... just slowing down a little. I HATE it! I'm greatful for the couple hours he gave to us... so that we could just BE with him. I'm so glad I have a couple pictures of him with MY kids... his GREAT-grand kids.

This next picture is of Par's type of PLANE he flew most of the time. Only his was named "Happy Bottom"... after Marme...my grandma... her REAL name is Gladys.

(get it... GLAD-A_ _ = Happy Bottom. Silly Par.) Check this out... I told him I wanted a picture of him in front of his plane and so he lifted up the rope and started to walk back. The guard standing there said, "Sir, you cannot come back here." and Par says, "Listen, I've flown in that plane for 1000 plus hours... I've earned the right to go back there." The guard stepped aside and said, "Yes, sir, you have. Come on back."

Thank you, Par and Marme for making this such a fun day for us!

PS... I can't figure out why it CROPPING off the right side on the last two pictures. CRAP! I'll have to try to speak HTML again.

Welcome...

Welcome to my NEW BLOG!! Phew... setting these babies up are not easy for me. (HTML... are you serious? Why doesn't anyone in COMPUTER-LAND speak english?!) I'm very excited... I've figured out how to make pictures BIG on the blog, and a little higher resolution than my previous blog. And it only took me about 132 hours! :) I'm still learning and playing, so don't be surprised if you log on and everything is in Eskimo or something.

On my new blog, I'm going to post an occasional quote or thought accompanied by a picture. I'll try to get at least ONE a week... but we'll see how it goes. Here's the first... I thought it was a very FITTING quote for my first post as a professional photographer.
