My Sweetie - isn't he cute?!?!

(That's me in the reflection! HA)

Favorites from our trip to the midwest

There was beauty absolutely everywhere.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to see this area.

Barns of the Midwest

We had an amazing time at our family reunion in Ohio and Indiana!!

I was captivated by the old barns and the history they hold.

Aunt Bea's barn - inside and up!

Original homestead

Gary and Terri's Place

....and more beauties!

I have to admit that I balked when Kris suggested we meet at 7:30 this morning. You know I don't really come alive until 9:30-10:00! But WOW was it worth the effort! The colors are amazing and all the flowers were kissed with dewdrops! The pictures aren't perfect, but I'm learning more each time!

Morning Dew on the flowers

Obadiah and his friend Ella

Obadiah is our 4 year old
Australian Shepherd - he's great!

Ella is his friend from next door who often jumps the fence to come and play.

(I hope to get that on film some day!)

Boys at the farm

Looking for the strawberry "jackpot"

Roca Berry Farm

Yesterday I went strawberry picking with some young friends. I did more shooting than picking!

Morning Bluejay

I was sipping coffee this morning when this beauty landed for breakfast.

Grabbed the camera and shot through the window by the table.

I'm so thankful that Kris had the idea to go to the zoo!! What a wonderful day. I'm always facinated by the colors found in nature and am overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude for our beautiful world. I'm also thankful for friends - old and new! Thanks for including me, Kris and Pam.

More beautiful birds

Oh yeah!! Right there!!

Solomon in all his glory was never clothed as one of these!

Parrots - Amazing Colors!

It's amazing to me how incredibly creative God is!
