Life Without Friendship

~~Life Without Friendship~~

Life without friendship....
is like the dawn without the sun.

Life without friendship....
is like the sky without the moon
when the evening has begun.

Life without friendship....
is like a rose without rain.

Life without friendship....
just wouldn't be the same.

Life without friendship....
is like a ship without a sea.

Life without friendship....
just could not be without a friend like you for me.

Be Thankful

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know everything,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

Hummingbirds

I know a few months ago I basically had hummingbird fever. I managed to get hundreds of shots and here are three that I don't think I've added, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hummingbirds are my very favorite type of bird!

My Sister, Samantha

Samantha on Halloween. (She was supposedly a hippie?) Note: that is defiantly not her real hair, in case you were wondering.

This is a little something for you Samantha, I truly do love you, even though I may not always show it.

My sister, Samantha, has a twinkling personality. She goes to bed each evening with a smile on her face and when she awakes in the morning, she still has that glistening expression. Because of this, she makes my day. Samantha is almost always joyful and is dear to my heart. Sparkling like the evening stars is like my sister’s personality. I’m proud to call her my sister!

Grass

Cedar Tree

Here are a few more with water droplets, this time a cedar tree.

Dill and Maple Leaves.

Dill
Maple Leaves

One of my very favorite things to do right after a huge rain storm is to go outside and photograph all the grass, leaves, plants etc... I love all the water droplets on everything around me.

I really like the drop of water on this particular one. If I would of waited a few more seconds, the water probably would of dissipated.
Water Droplets o a Gladiola Flower.

Grass in a Puddle.
A Male Pheasant.

More Vibrant Fall Colors and a Pumpkin.

My sister, Casidy carved this pumpkin. I thought it was a clever idea to use the stem as the nose.
Japanese maple leaves. The second one I edited quite a bit. You can really change a picture, it is amazing.


Dogwood leaves

Cumulus Clouds.

The sun was trying really hard to shine through these cumulus clouds. I like how the outer part of the cloud is really bright. Finally the sun poked through. They are not the best shots however. These were taken with my panasonic lumix camera. If the canon battery was charged I can almost guarantee that these photos would of turned out a lot better. To me these look a bit grainy.

One More

I really like this one.

Maple Leaves.

All of these fall colors are so beautiful! I just wanted to show the orange to you. (I didn't edit these photos in any way)

Jones Creek Farm

Like Father Like Daughter- Eric and Hannah. (I love how they were both looking at each other.)
Samantha and Janae enjoying a hayride.
The Farm Owners/The Price Family- Les, Talea, Elijah and Hunter

Over the weekend 'Jones Creek Farm' in Hamilton held there annual harvest festival. People from all over Western Washington came and spent the rainy day U-picking apples, pumpkins, enjoying warm fresh cider, pumpkin rolling contest, hay rides and all sorts of other fun things!
Here are three shots of a few people.
