A Visit with Mara

My sister came up to visit our dad today and brought her 7 year old granddaughter, Mara. She is such a cutie. She let me grab a few quick shots of her outside at my dad's house.

Some Macro Fun

I haven't been using my macro lens very much lately. Maybe because I've been inside all winter. But I took it outside yesterday and had fun playing around with it. I found out that I need a LOT of practice with taking real macros. Here are a few images that I kind of like. I hope by the end of the summer I'll be posting some really cool macros. All three of these images are photos of weeds. Weeds are actually quite pretty when you look closely:)

I got caught by some friends laying flat on my stomach to take this one:) I'm sure it wasn't a pretty sight!

This is what I called a moss growing between bricks in a walk. I don't know if it really is moss but I know what it looks like really close up now:)

And one more that is not a weed. I wish I could find out what this tree is. These are really tiny pinkish blooms with red leaves. Anybody know? It's not a cherry tree.

A Reluctant Model

I have been trying to find a few places around that would be fun for some photo shoots. Steve has gone with me a few times. He really won't pose for me but I still got a couple of good shots of him I think. Thanks Steve:)
I like to enjoy a spring day...

Sweet Brooklyn

I was able to take some newborn photos of a precious little 2 week old baby girl. She arrived into the world early so she's still teeny tiny. So fun! And she is flat out gorgeous! I have a lot of favorites but will only post a few here.

A Beautiful Sunday

Sunday's weather was like a good dose of medicine for the soul.  Steve and I enjoyed the sunny 60 degree weather by visiting a local park and then going down to Camp Eagle, our church's camp.

This is a bridge I hope to use in some upcoming photo shoots.  However, it is so muddy that it will be awhile before it is useable.

I tried to get a close focus on this moss growing beside the creek. I was using my 50mm lens instead of my macro. When I downloaded to my computer, there was all this crazy bokeh from the water. Kind of abstract looking but I think it's fun.


We even found green ferns growning on the side of this hill!

The water in the lagoon at Camp Eagle was this interesting turquoise color. I'm not sure why but it was pretty.

Winter Lake

When I was visiting the Glenn's, Naomi drove us through a park behind their home. I was able to shoot this without even getting out of the car:)
