Pine Cone Beginnings

 I was looking through my photos and found these from the beginning of the summer- the beginning, budding of pinecones!

Post Office

 I LOVE old post office buildings! I think I am going to start a new series just on these old iconic buildings in the state of Wyoming! Do you have one near you I need to make sure to get?

Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse

 Happy Birthday to me! A full blood moon and a lunar eclipse?! How lucky can a girl get? Well, not too lucky because I tested positive for Covid the next day!! LOL! Oh well, I did get a chance to see the awesome moon show! 

Good Bye Park

 The final good bye to the park was a sad one but at least we all got the chance to give the playground one last run through! 

Bokeh

 I tried my hand on some bokeh this Christmas season. For some reason, this style of photography has always intimidated me! It looks so pretty but I feel like it is always just out of reach of my skill set. It is something that does not come naturally to me and I will be more determined to keep trying. So here we go my first try- 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

PS I am getting ankle surgery at the end of the year so my photos probably won't appear until a few months into next year! Stay healthy and safe everyone! 

Summer of Red

It was definitely a summer of red- from the heat waves that scorched us all and turned us sunburned to the fires that sent gusts of red flames and smoke through the air. The summer of 2021 was RED! 

Berries and stuff

 I love going rock hunting with my family! My mom loves rocks and has a nice rock tumbler and collection. It is a great way to get outside and enjoy the sun! I love to take my camera and see what might 'catch my eye' out in the Wyoming wilderness.  I have yet to see any really neat wildlife but since those mainly consist of the deadly variety I think I am okay passing. 

Grasshopper

Now I know most people wouldn't take the time to photography these suckers much less share it with the world but hey- I am not most people!

Dandelion

 The other day by second, Ammon, brought me the biggest dandelion I have ever seen! It was HUGE! Before I could grab my phone, a camera, anything it just blew away in the wind. Thank you, Wyoming. Then a few days later I pulled up to my house and saw ANOTHER one! I was so excited, I grabbed my camera and went to work before the wind could take it away. I love dandelions because I love 'wishes' :) But never have I been able to see the exquisite detail of those seeds- just beautiful!

Baseball Season

 When my second was 3 he did a summer of T-ball and absolutly loved it. Now, the funy part was he was too short to actually hit the ball off the T and kept hitting the stick instead! He got the giggles and just couldn't stop. It was a fun activity. This year he is now 10 (10!!!!) and he has gone out for baseball again!! This time he is more than tall enough to hit the ball off the T and Mom gets to enjoy attending 100 degree practices ;) Actually, it has been a lot of fun seeing him enjoy playing baseball. I kept seeing all the balls being tossed to the side and knew there was a photo op just waiting! I hope you enjoy and these photos bring back some childhood memories of your own!
