My New Found Love

Ahhhhh... the bokeh. It's what makes the backgrounds of pictures so scrumptious. Like I seriously want to eat these pictures. The blurry disks of light are so heavenly.

Just messing around with my studio lighting. They were overjoyed... And why is it that when one looks, the other looks away? That's why I don't have very many pictures of them together.

I couldn't resist posting this one. Awwwwww....


Playing with the light.

I Won!

So I entered some of my pictures into the county fair to see how I would do. And whatdaya know, someone there liked them! The picture of Sean won 1st place and Brooke won 2nd place in the portraiture category. And Little Finn and the cat won
2nd in the animal/pets category. I won 7 whole dollars that I'm donating a 1/3 to Kelly since she let me borrow Finn for the picture. Don't tell our neighbor because it's his cat and he'll want money too. $7 only goes so far.

"Train Watching"


"Easter Sadness"


"Kitty Friend"

More Yellowstone Vacation

Grandpa called this "Fishing for Children." The kids loved it. It was one of those rubber thingys that you tie to the end of the line. One of the kids would reel it in and all the other kids would try to catch the rubber thingy.





This is as close as I could get of a group shot of all the kids. Single file...


A better shot at Tower Falls


At least two of them were looking. And I just noticed they're all wearing navy blue. That was not planned.


And this cute little old guy that worked at the gift shop let Sean climb on top of a stuffed bear to pretend he was riding it. Unfortunately, I had the wrong lens on my camera to get a good shot. But many passerbys were actually taking their own shots of Sean. Must have been the hat.


Some pics of Brooke and Sean



A neat reflection shot


And my beautiful sister. Isn't she gorgeous? I want to look like her when I grow up.
