Updating

While I was walking the other day this rabbit jumped out of the bush in front of me. He to the edge of the woods and just stopped. So I ran back to the house grabbed my camera and prayed he was there when I returned. Sure enough he was. This isn't the best picture because it was very sunny and we all know sun is not a DSLR best friend. But I got the shot anyways.

All we have done for the past 3 days is play games! Lots and lots of games! It's been so much fun hanging out with the girls. We're trying to savor our last few days before I go back to work and they to school.

New Hobby




The girls have started a new hobby. I'm not even sure what it's called. They use yarn and cover those plastic canvas shapes with it. It's really cool. A lady from one of the knapin's showed them. They even tried crocheting. Lacey said it was too hard but Aunt Sandy is bound to teach them. I hope one day they do learn. I tried it but I don't have enough patience. I like to see results too quickly. lol

"Photographers are violent people. First they frame you, then they shoot you, then they hang you on the wall. But if you're real good they will scrapbook you!!!"

You know what a camera is? A mirror with memory.

Photographer to girlfriend;
"Come into the darkroom and we'll see what develops."



An amateur photographer was invited to dinner with friends and took along a few pictures to show the hostess. She looked at the photos and commented "These are very good! You must have a good camera."

He didn't make any comment, but, as he was leaving to go home he said "That was a really delicious meal! You must have some very good pots."

Happy 4th of July

Today the scrap review posted some really great tips about shooting fireworks. I think next year I'm going to make it a point to see some fireworks and try to get a shot of them.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. Clint and his brother cooked some really great bbq over a fire pit and it was so good! Everyone had a blast! Can't wait to do it again next year!

Lg Bin


This is a picture I took a couple of weeks ago while Clint and I were riding around. It's actually an old huge concrete grain bin. I love the structure.

I'm off to another fish fry at Daddy's. We went fishing at the river yesterday and caught about 30. Can't wait!!!
