FAMILY TIME

What a great visit with my parents the past few days.  I did not schedule any sessions the past week while I got ready for their visit and wanted to be free the entire time they were here.  I get to see them so rarely, and I wanted to enjoy every minute!  We had a fantastic visit!  We went to the Dells and took a boat ride,  my son, Tanner made his first archery kill, and we spent a lot of time just visiting and playing!  Here are a few shots from our visit:

 

I LOVE SPRING!

Spring is the best time of year!  I love warm weather and all the beautiful flowers and leaves everywhere!  Plus, the season after spring is summer, and if we're lucky, we'll have a nice summer this year.  That means at least 4 months of no snow!!!!  What can be better than that??   Here are a few shots from around my home this spring.   Enjoy the weather!

 

Long Winter Days

What to do on long winter days when the storm has you trapped inside?  Well, I edit photos.  I went back through my photo archives to a few years ago when my family and I visited Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons.  I think this is one of the most beautiful places on earth!  I did not own a great camera back then - just a point and shoot, but it took some nice images all in all.  Here are some of my edited images:

  I plan to get several printed in the 3.5x5 inch size and use them to create all occasion cards.  I still enjoy card making the "old fashioned" way, but like to add my photography instead of all the traditional rubber stamp scenes and ribbons.
