Afternoons at the Beach -Ocean Vacation-

I'm home! Yesterday evening we arrived home from our beach vacation, and I have many pictures to share!

Besides my family, Grandma Margie, Grandpa Don, and Aunt Carol vacationed with us.We rented a beach house on the coast, right on the ocean. Out the large living room windows, we had a fantastic view of the ocean! And the house was right next to the beach access, so in a minute or so, you could walk from the house, to the sandy shore. We had some warm days, but even on the colder days, we could still enjoy the lovely view. Now for some pictures!

This guy was sitting on top a pole, and just before I was snapping his photo, he decided to fly away, and I got this shot instead.

I Heart Faces - Beach Fun


When I saw that the theme was fun at the beach, I knew I had to enter. I had a few favorite shots from the beach this year, but I decided to go with this shot, of Alina, when she was playing beach ball with Tiana.

Leaving For the Week

Lavendar

Hey everyone! Our family is going to the coast and will be spending a week at the ocean. So, since I'll be on vacation , I won't be posting, or commenting on your lovely blogs this week. *sniff* I'll miss reading all those lovely posts everyone shares. But I do plan to come home with many photos and memories to share!


Oh, and my I Heart Faces photo is set to auto publish, but that's the only post you'll see from me this week. Have a fabulous week, everyone! :D


P.S. I didn't have many beach pictures, so a shot of some lavender will have to do. ;)

Self Portraits

Or more like self-timer portraits.
Photobucket

I had been wanting a new profile picture for Facebook, Blogger, ect. I couldn't find any photos of myself that I really loved, so I decided to take some pictures of myself.
Photobucket

I put on my favorite skirt and blouse, brought out the tripod, and would set the timer, run into position, and pose. I ended up stepping on many rocks while running to pose in the outdoor shots.
Photobucket

Many of them turned out with my head cut off, our out of focus. Luckily, some of them turned out. :-)

Group Shot!

Rose's Senior Photos

Less than a year ago, I met Rose and her sisters at our homeschool co-op.We've all got to know each other pretty well, and now were good friends. 

Rose is the kind of girl who is always having fun, and just enjoys life. She trains service dogs, along with her sister and she's an amazing artist. Her drawings are incredible and so are her paintings. And she's created some pretty neat projects in Photoshop.

Have a great Senior year, my friend!

I Heart Faces - Surprised!



When I saw the theme for this week, I knew exactly what person I would be digging through my folders to find the perfect photo of: my sister, Alina. When I point the camera at her, she'll do just about anything, but smile. Even if she doesn't cooperate, I still get some good shots of her.

This photo was shot from our recent trip to Oregon. Uncle Terry brought out this old mink, and we had Alina pose with it and the gun for fun. I love her face!

A Trip to Oregon



Tuesday our family got back from a six day trip in Oregon. We usually try to make it down there around once a year. We stay at Aunt Carol's, where she has ten acres. We spent our time shooting the BB gun, shopping, bike riding, played mini-golf, and went bowling. We had a fantastic time!


Aunt Carol has many miscellaneous items that she has collected over the years, and placed them in her yard.

They also have buffalo. These are they two they currently have.




A beautiful sunset!


Daniel spend a large portion of his time catching lizards. This was one of the ones he caught.

Alina caught a mink! ;D


A shot of Mt. Hood that I shot on the way there.
