Favorite

This is my absolute favorite picture at the moment! I just had to make a post to show you all. :)
My focus is sharp (something I've been working on!) and my exposure is almost right on, and I'm loving the bokeh, not to mention his EXPRESSION!! I have it on our desktop and I smile every time I see the look on Phi's face. :) See, this is why I love to take thousands of pictures - just to get that ONE. ;) I think this will be my favorite for awhile! :)

Make Believe

I got together with Tracie and Heather again to take pictures of their girls in a make believe theme. The girls love playing together and dream up all kinds of stories together! :)
Emma - check out her beautiful lashes! :)

poisonous apple? ;) The girls had a lovely time having a tea party under a canopy of trees.


It was great to get together again - thanks for the photography tips Heather! Looking forward to our next get together! :)

Picking Peaches

Every year we drive into the Gorge to pick fresh peaches and can or freeze them.

The weather was perfect and we were able to get lots of delicious peaches!


Katelynn and her Mommy taking a stroll in the orchard.


Katelynn kept herself busy playing in a box for quite awhile! :)
Naomi - she has beautiful eyes! :)
Naomi and her Mommy. :) We drove down in Charity's Sprinter - lots of room for peaches in the trunk of that rig! :)
Debbie up on the ladder picking the biggest peaches. :)
Don't you feel your mouth watering?? ;)
Debbie was the brave one to climb on top of the ladder and take this shot! :)
While she was on top of the ladder, she snapped a few over the top of the orchard. A church in the distance, and also look at the top left corner - see a structure? ....we'll get to that part later! :)
New best buddies! :)
A branch laden with fruit
heavenly! :)
Me and my favorite little neice. :)
Kate with her Grandma - I like how their facial expressions are the same. :)
Katelynn peeking through my legs as I was helping her to walk. :)
A gorgeous view of the Gorge! :)
Remember that structure in the previous picture? Well, here it is! Our very on Stonehenge in Oregon! :)

That slab in the middle was supossedly used for human sacrifices. Yikes! (at the one in Europe, not THIS one) :)
