Quiz Time

A short quiz, thanks to Lisa. Not to far off... I did have a goth cape I sewed myself and wore all freshman year :0)

You Were the Arty Kid

Whether you were a drama freak or an emo poet, you definitely were expressive and unique. You're probably a little less weird these days - but even more talented!

Who Were You In High School?

Cute and Featherly

Aren't they adorable?? When we were getting ready to walk to work the other day Shawn saw these little guys outside the house and yelled for me to get my camera. I took all these photos from inside through the window. Good thing I decided to clean the windows recently. We saw them today again and it looks like they may be down a few in numbers.

Fair Time

Well... not quite, but fair is sure getting closer and instead of my last minute entry from last year I've actually gotten my act together and selected a total of 4 photos for 2 entries. It is a really hard choice to try and pick the photos you think will impress the most. I still have time to enter more photos if you may have an absolute favorite.

Here's what I have entered so far...

I have a three frame setup highlighting Dawes Glacier that we visited while in Alaska for our honeymoon.


Then I had to add the local flair of the courthouse highlighted by a beautiful sunrise I captured while walking Shawn to school last fall.


I just sent the order for the photos tonight along with hundreds of photos from our wedding and honeymoon. I'm excited to get the hard copies and really see what they all look like in print.

This weekend is supposed to be a killer when it comes to weather... almost literally I'm sure. Saturday the temperature is supposed to be 106. Luckily we'll be at the lake for teh weekend and able to hide in the water. Who knows, maybe Chelan will actually be warm enough for me to enter the water.

Suicide Race 101

I had my first introduction to Omak's Suicide Race that coincides with the Omak Stampede every year. The had practice runs and swim tests for the horses tonight. I called up Tim and asked if he wanted to go watch with the cameras. We headed down and the light was perfect, but of course things didn't start on time, so the light quickly disappeared. It was interesting chatting with Tim about the race as he's a 20 year plus resident and he had some facts that he shared with me. We may go back tomorrow night for more elimination races.

The sunset was awfully pretty tonight, too bad it is because of the fire burning at Green Lake. We could watch the smoke rising from the Hill and the planes circled around us constantly. Kind of felt like WW2 with all the big tankers flying back and forth from Omak Lake. We even watched one dump a big load of water or retardant right the crest of a hill. The last number I heard was 12 structures threatened. There are a couple of teachers up that way that I hope are faring well with the family, house and animals.

Wedding Photos... AGAIN!

Stephanie has all her proofs up from my wedding, take a look, they are amazing! There are some great shots and she really captured the details of the day... and my butt, but it was so fun. Leave her lots of love on her blog.

Cruise Photos are Here!

Hard at Work... Really

Just letting all my readers know I'm hard at work editing all these Alaska photos... can't you tell? I really do have the computer in front of me while enjoying that cigar :0)

Back on Shore

We're back on land after a week of being busy and eating... alot. We're at Shawn's folks in Granite Falls waiting a day before we head home. There will actually be a one night detour to the cabin on Lake Chelan because we have to drop his dad off.

Well, among the 1500+ photos I'll give you a small sample and it wasn't even from my camera. As soon as I get a chance to look through and edit the photos a bit more you'll be getting a small tour of Juneau, Skagway and Prince Rupert, BC.

Off to Alaska!

We're off to Alaska, actually slight detour to Granite Falls and then on to Alaska. We'll head to Shawn's folks tomorrow after dropping the kitty off at the vet and then the cruise ship leaves Friday night. I'm really looking forward to all the great food and no dishes.

There are plans for tons of photos and I hope to actually do some updating while cruising when we stop in Skagway and Juneau, but no guarantees.

I'll leave the loyal readers with one more wedding shot, since I guess technically we are leaving for our honeymoon. This wonderful shot is from Stephanie.

More Wedding Photos

Expect to see lots of these in the next few months as I get my favorite ones. Stephanie is one of my photo friends who made it out to the wedding and did some photography for me. She just posted a preview on her site. What great photos! I'm so excited to see what else she captured.
