Okay... I finally have some pictures to post. My next few will be from the cemetery, but my first is of this little guy who was really interested in what I was doing that day, taking all those pictures. I seriously thought he might jump on me.

Beautiful skies and colorful balloons made for one of my favorite photo shoots yet.

Here is a close up of one of the layers of cake. It was pretty fancy. I love the blue strips with the bling. :)

So I know my posts have been really lame lately so I took my camera to work today and took a bunch of pics of the fountain. Then I left the camera at work :( So another from my stash. Seriously, just trying to get to 100. Photography is so not a priority right now. I gave this one a little color boost.

A few more creekside portraits of the girls. I printed these and they turned out just beautiful.

Recently we were at a cousin's wedding. The cake was AMAZING! For some reason, this picture is blurry, not sure how it turned out like that. It is clear in LR. :( Anyway, I was competeing with the professional photographer to get some pictures, so I didn't get the front of the cake ... I let him take the pics he needed. He, he!!

Got the girls dressed up and headed to the creek. I love how these pictures sort of capture the essence of a summer evening.

This is my last snow shot ... I love how the gate is just hanging there. It makes it a typical country picture. :)

Here is a different picture of the road. It was amazing the amount of ice on the road and how slippery it was.

I have been working on a new series titled Vintage Postcards that will be included in my Fine Art Portfolio.
These two are from the Vintage Countryside Collection.

Here is a picture of the alfalfa that they grow in the area. Love how the snow/ice is resting on top of the bales of hay. :)

A few more from last Wednesday's storm. Really wish there weren't so many power lines in our neighborhood.

While driving to get my grandparents Christmas morning, we had to be very careful on the road. It was covered with ice. I had Jim stop a couple of times so that I could take pictures. It was a beautiful view all around.

So I'm hosting the Speed Scrap Wednesday night listening to the approaching storm and remember... Today is my day to post. Cool, I'll get some shots of the lightning. Well, much harder than it sounds. Lightning is fast (I guess that's why they call it lightning) But I set up my camera to a pretty slow shutter speed and set it to continuous advance and wait for the shot. I was so happy to actually get some good ones - minus the power lines going thru :( I go in to upload and post and lose power to half our house... yes half. It was really weird. The stove worked but not the microwave. The TV worked but not the DVD player. Yes, weird. But it happened to all our neighbors like that too so we think one of the boxes was hit or something. But I couldn't get interent connection all night (still having some trouble with that.) Sooooooo, here are two posts in one of the awesome lightning storm from Wednesday night. I tried, I really did :)

I left the pics pretty wide so click on it and it will spread wider. It looks better that way too.

Pete's first year playing baseball... doesn't he look cute in his little baseball uniform :-)

Here is another creative look at the snow. I kept this one even thought it had sun spots on the picture. I thought it gave it a fun feel.

I took these pictures right before the kid's Spring Concert.

Love the flag in this shot ... May God Bless America! :)
