Spring Time!!

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

I just love Spring time!! It has always been my favorite time of year. Picture taking is so much more fun with all the new life out!! I don't think I could ever get tired of taking pics of flowers. LOL!! Now I just need to find some baby animals!! Anyone got a farm I can come hang out at?? :P I went and stayed the night at Addie's house on Friday, and we went on a photo field trip! LOL!! I got some cute pics of Ash, but for now I'm just posting my flower ones. I had sooo much fun in post processing, if you can't tell! Hey! That's how I roll! :D See if you can spot the bees in 2 of my cherry blossom pics. :)

Hello!! Long time, no see! :D I have decided to start blogging again. Well, I will give it a try! LOL! I got a new camera, and I am anxious to start posting pics again! For those of you that know me, I like to pretend I am a photographer!! Truth is, I just love taking pictures! I am definitely an amateur, not that great at all. I have just stepped into the world of Digital SLR photography, so lets hope I learn a lot! I like to take pics of just about anything, so no telling what will end up on the blog! LOL!!

Yesterday, my husband and I ran over to Port Orford (Oregon Coast) for lunch. Yes, I said for lunch. What?!? Doesn't everyone drive 3 hours for lunch? :D We like to go for drives to get a chance to spend time with each other. We are both road trip people, and both of us bring our cameras for repeated stop & clicks! So, here are some of my shots from yesterday. I hope you enjoy. :)

(pics can be blown up when clicked...i don't recommend blowing up the hawk pic, him & I were both moving..which doesn't make for the clearest shot :P)

---animals from different points along way, tree from side of Face Rock, rock and waves from Port Orford Dock area, and last 2 pics of the old Port Orford City Jail

Crater Lake!

Thursday, July 2, 2009

The fam and I decided to take a trip to Crater Lake a couple of weeks ago. It was a fun, weird, scary trip! LOL! We have this GPS system for the car, and we decided to give it a go. It took us straight from Canyonville to Crater Lake. Yep, straight across the map! Well, some of those roads are not meant for cars! It may have been 1/3 of the mileage, but it took twice as long! At times I was scared we would be trapped in the woods! LOL! My husband was as cool as a cucumber. He thought my fear was quite ridiculous! :D Anyway, we made it safe and sound! The kids had never been there before. Ted and I went once before, about 11 years ago. I couldn't believe how snowy it still was! You would have thought it was December, not June! LOL! I took tons of pics, and tried to narrow it down to a few. I still have too many, but oh well! You will have to deal! :P

Here are a couple of nice shots I got of Jackson Creek on the way.

Ted got some cute pics of the kiddos. Ted squatted down to take their pic, and then they squatted down too. What a bunch of nerds!! LOL!!

Dylan took a pic of Ted, but we never did get a pic of me. We tried to take a group self-portrait. That failed miserably!! Here are 2 of the attempts...too funny!! LOL!!

Last, but not least....we have pics of Crater Lake! LOL! Only a couple, I filled the post with pics of people! :P Look how high the snow is on the side of the road!! Holy cow!!
