Homemade

Yep, there's some issues (and yes, a lighter color thread would have been good!!), but, a tank top and pair of pjs with holes, did turn in to a pair of underwear!

Maternity

Spent a very cold, crisp morning with this beautiful family. Love these shots!

Mmm

Back in mid-August, I did manage to find some blackberries on the bushes in my backyard. They sure were good!

Lucky Duck

One rainy day, I decided to shoot ducks with my little point and shoot that I carry pretty much everywhere with me. This duck managed to get away.

I'm Baack

Back with another heart picture. I see them almost anywhere...this time in spilled hot chocolate. : ) Hearts make me smile.

Family Photoshoot

This family won a photo session with me through a photography giveaway that was hosted by Becky Higgins. www.beckyhiggins.com/blog. So excited to share a few little sneak peaks with this cute family. More to come soon!

Blackberries in my Backyard

I'm waiting somewhat impatiently for these blackberries in my backyard to...well...turn black.

For some reason, checking on them almost every day doesn't seem to make them grow any faster. Soon! I hope!

Down at the River

On Saturday, I packed up a picnic of tuna wraps, dill pickles, potato chips and iced tea and headed down to the river with Sean.
What a beautiful evening!

Pretty flowers!

My handsome husband.

Yes, pictures of me do exist! 

Normally, this is the face behind the camera...not in front of it!

What used to be a little stream that we had to cross on a log is now a large pond thanks to some handy beavers.

This is part of the "bridge" used to cross the pond. There isn't enough support under them though so we got a little wet...

Sean made a bunch of noise...you know the trick...grass between your fingers and then blow. FUN!

Besides being attacked by mosquitoes (quick fix with some afterbite) we had a lovely time!

Lindeman Lake

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day and we decided, late in the afternoon, that it was too nice a day to spend inside. We went for a little hike up to Lindeman Lake.

This is the easy part of the path, walking down to what used to be the parking lot.Don't be a litterbug! Pack your garbage out!The beautiful lake!What a great way to spend a few hours.
