Day 20


Baby Abram

Had a great time and learned a lot taking pictures of this little guy. He was so patient with us and allowed us to move him all over the place for his photo shoot! I got the suitcase at Blue Suede Shoes for the perfect photo prop. 

Day 19


Squeaker 

We brought Sadie (our German Shepherd) back a squeaker toy. She loves toys that squeak but they are hard to find in the durability standard that we need with a Shepherd. She was in love and has not stopped squeaking the thing...kind of cute, kind of annoying!

I should have payed better attention to my focus as it is a little soft. I am finding that I struggle getting a good focus with my 50mm lens. Practice, practice, practice...right?!?

Day 18


Tucker

This dog has the most impossible coat, that and he is dirty. Yes, he is a dirty dog! He loves to romp in the mud, dig in the dirt, wrestle with Sadie and get a very slobbery head...he is dirty! He must be a boy!!!

Day 17


Abram's Blessing Day

This is the Hatch family. They have become good friends of ours here in Arkansas. Today was little Abram's blessing day and Dave had the opportunity to participate in the blessing. This was a quick shot for them to commemorate the very special day. 

Day 16


Up in the Clouds at Sunset

There are the moments in life where you are simply in the right place at the right time for a great image. In those moments you better hope you have your camera with you!!! This was one of those moments...up in the clouds at sunset on our way back from a great vacation. The clouds were simply spectacular. I have never flown through such a site! It did make for a bump ride, but I think this image made it worth it. Taken with my iphone 4s (kind of wish I could have got up to grab my "real" camera)! I had to have taken about 20 shots. The clouds just kept getting more and more interesting as we went through them (I'm pretty sure the guy sitting next to Dave thought I was a little crazy) and then magic happened...the sun peaked through!

Day 15


Father and Son

So glad Dave was able to spend some quality time with his father. It was long overdue and much needed! I never realized how much they look alike until I was reviewing this picture. 

Day 14


Ice Cream Face
(Instagram)

I won't lie...I almost forgot to take a picture today! I was getting ready for bed, when I went into panic because I didn't have a picture to post. Luckily, it dawned on me I had snapped this cute ice cream face of Josh (my nephew) while at the best ice cream place I have ever been to! It is nothing amazing, but his face was simply priceless and we were all laughing at the site!

Day 13


Abby

We got to watch her and her younger brother play some tee ball while in Washington. I love her big smile with all those missing teeth!

Day 12

This is the view from my sister-in-law's back deck...so jealous!

Day 11


Bison Range

We enjoyed a quick trip through the national Bison Range in Montana and I was in picture heaven. Wish I could share them all on here as they were so neat (and so close)! The sight was quite breathtaking. We finished the adventure with a Buffalo Burger and a huckleberry shake!

And I just can't resist sharing a second image for today. I took so many pictures and simply could not decide which ones I wanted to share. Because we are celebrating Memorial day, I felt that the next image was very appropriate as it is a symbol of our nation. 


Bald Eagle

He was probably about 70 feet up in the pine tree's. This was as close as I could get with my 300mm lens. It is the closest I have ever seen an Eagle. A black bird kept dive bombing at him and making all sorts of ruckus. They are certainly stately and graceful. 

Day 10


Flat Head Lake

Definitely on the top ten most beautiful places I have ever been! We woke up early today to go to church. There was a perfect stillness over the lake giving it the most beautiful mirrored effect. 

Day 9


Pier

I could have photographed this place all day long. This is the pier right next to the lodge we stayed at on Flat Head Lake, Montana.  The old worn boards add such great texture. 

Day 8


Slots

A layover in Vegas on our way to Washington.
