My Winter Wonderland

      I wanted to share some of these beautiful pictures I took for our town. One of my neighbors asked me back before Christmas if I would take some pictures of the frost and fresh snow. It was truly gorgeous out and it was a lovely stroll with the camera. Photography is becoming one of my favorite mini-hobbies. I love taking snap shots of the majestic art work of our creator.
                                              I have a weird obsession of taking pictures
                                        of street signs. This one is at the bottom of my block
                                       and is a particular favorite to photograph all times of
                                        the year.

                                                I have several pictures of this view. This 
                                           is Highway 27 leaving town. For some reason my 
                                        heart loves this view because I can leave and explore 
                                    the world, but I can always come back to my beloved little town.

                                                      This is if you take Highway 27 the 
                                                                other way out of town. 

                                                         Photographing even glimpses of 
                                                  this beautiful mountain is thrilling. When 
                                            the mist rolls off it, it looks magical. Like out of 
                                            a storybook. 

                                           This is my neighbors barn. This is probably the 
                                         most photographed barn in the history of  barns. I 
                                        am one of the many photographers that fall in love 
                                      with this barn, no matter what the photos always look 
                                     like calendar shots. 

                                         City hall decked out in all of it's holiday decor. 


                                               Oh how I love the untouched beautiful of 
                                         this place. Nobody's touched it, clear, smooth snow
                                        with God's light shinning. 

                                                      This one has no subject except the 
                                                  vast landscape that surrounds our town. 


                                                     This is one of my four icicle pictures. 
                                                  the sunlight melted the ice ever so slightly
                                                so that the lens caught the drips nicely. 

                                                     The lightening of this one is exquisite 

                                              This one reminds me of a string of diamonds. 

                                                    Our God's handiwork never ceases 
                                                                     to amaze me. 

                                            This is the same mountain I was telling you about
                                          in an earlier shot. I enjoyed framing it with the trees
                                        and the bush in my front yard. This is my view every
                                        morning. How blessed am I? 
                                                   
                                                 
                                                  My front door in my attempt at an artsy shot. 

 This photo shoot is different from other ones I have done. I love all of these pictures and love my little town.

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

 Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family.     Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station,  a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
