That should keep you busy for a while!

I did It!!!

It's been a stormy nasty day today, that's for sure. Thunder, hail, wind, rain and the whole works. So for pictures it was kind of difficult. However I did manage to slip out JUST before the rain started again. I had like THREE MINUTES. But...... After running around like a maniac I did get a few shots. Nothing to spectacular... Just the same old same old. 

 Yeah I did it!!! A whole week's worth of pictures. This may be my last post for a while - I'll have to see how busy I am with college first.  I'm really hoping to do at least one picture a week on here, but Lord only knows. 

So I wish you all a wonderful week.  Have fun with whatever you do.  God Bless!

  Live Life to the Fullest......

The Brand New Day

by LesA47

At dawn, through my opened window, I gazed upon a breathless, And heart-stopping sight. On the horizon in front of me, Appeared an aurora of mystical lights, Reflecting deep into the cavities and, Ridges of the surrounding mountains. Before me shown the early light, Penetrating the morning mist, As it caused perpetual golden rays To illuminate through the highest Mountain peaks, Awakening the earth below. As I peered closely, Brilliant colors of light Stretched upward, Like fingers on a hand Into the yet, dawning sky. Oh, as I gazed at this precious sight, Time itself seemed to be waiting, And wanting to grasp hold of The first beams, that would burst forth From the East and to witness, The suns smile beckoning "The Brand New Day. " For Now -- Kaylie Mae

Random Shots

A little bit of everything....

Sunrise

This picture didn't turn out exactly how I would of liked it, but that's okay. I thought it was kind of neat how part of the field was lit from the sun...

The Best Hike of My Life!!!

Excelsior Peak in the Mount Baker National Forest Area

This was really awesome looking - the reflection of these trees in a lake. 

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference. I couldn't stop thinking about this poem all during the hike. It fits it just perfectly.  It's really hard to try to describe this hike... you just have to go and do it to appreciate it as much as I did! It's definitely one of my favorites because: you hike through the forest, base of the mountains, hills, open meadows, then back in the woods again. Lots and lots of creeks and streams. It's relatively flat most of the way, but are a few steep parts. The reward at the top is well worth the last mile of huffing and puffing! The view is basically a 360 degree view of these gorgeous mountains. And directly in front of you is Mount Baker. Saw a few Varied Thrushes, Northern Harriers, Grey Jays and lots and lots of butterflies and bees. The highlight was all of the wonderfully delicious wild mountain blueberries and huckleberries along the whole trail. Hope you enjoy the pictures! Thank you mom for such an amazing day.

Frog of the Day

I just thought this would make a cute picture. It's not as clear as I'd like to of had it, but its still cute, right?

a preview... to what's coming tomorrow.....

A sneak peak as to what will be coming tomorrow. This is one of my very favorite hikes that my mom and I did today. Pics coming soon to a blog near you!

Morning Sunrise

This was what I saw at 6 am this morning -It just amazes me at how beautiful something can be! I love the azure color going right through...I think getting up early is worth it!!! 

Three Sister's

Three Sister's

By:  Francis I. Gillespie

We are three sisters
Three sisters are we
I love each of you,
And I know you love me

We’re not always together,
Life sometimes keeps us apart.
But we're never separated
We’re in each other's heart.

Now I know we've had our troubles,
But we always get thru.
The real message is you love me,
And I also love you.

We have had lots of good times
That we'll never forget
Sometimes we worry
And sometimes we fret

But if God ever gave me
Something special you see,
It might have been the blessing of,
Three sisters are we.
The Lord above has gave me lots
Of happiness and glee
But the most special thing he did was
Make us sisters, all three.

Photoshoot With Sister = Fun!

Last night I found myself really bored. Nothing I did seemed to satisfy me. I thought of an idea (why not do another photoshoot of one of my sisters?) So after a little poking and prodding, I finally managed to get Samantha interested in doing a photoshoot with me. It's not really fun anymore for Samantha, as it's something we've done over and over and over again... We went into her closet and pulled out this rather fancy dress. And 47 shots later.... This is what we got! Thank you Samantha for putting up with me. Hope you liked the pictures.

Fun in the mirror!

What could be more fun then a sister? 

Someone you can tell all your secrets to, and know they won't get told! (Hopefully!) 

Your smile makes my day! 

I love you!

Someone you can dress-up, no matter how bizarre the outfit looks!
