Honeymoon Snap Shots

Rylan and I walked many evenings on the beach and I took my camera a few times. The tide came so high every evening that it ran over a small hill of sand and created it's own little river..it was so neat to walk in and watch the waves be big enough to make it over the little hill.

This little bird was not scared of anyone or anything. He was letting little children walk within 5 feet of him...and I just thought he made a really neat subject in my picture!

This is looking up from the very bottom of the lighthouse..inside of course. 203 stairs..the walls at the bottom are something like 8 feet thick of brick and at the top they are 2 feet thick..I don't remember how many bricks are in it..but I'm gonna guess a TON!

This was the moon over the ocean one evening after it rained.

Close-Ups

I have been experimenting with taking pictures up close, trying to shoot details rather than a whole object. The first picture is at Amy's mom's house, the second a fence at Berryville Vinyards, the third is a wood pile, and the last is Travis' Grandma's piano. The first two are my favorites.

Photos of August

August had on a beach hat of mine in this picture. I like how it's not a direct shot of her face.

She was blowing on all the dandelions in my yard and I thought it was so adorable! Again, this is not a direct shot of her face and I love that.

This is the egg August was amazed with. It was so cute how she would only pick it up with her thumb and pointer finger. Too cute!

Simplicity

I took a walk down the road the other day and decided to take some pictures of the most random things. I love danelions..in pictures! I hate them in my yard, but they are beautiful for pictures and to blow on. This particular shot just shows how something so simple can create such a neat photograph. Mom also wants this shot for the bathroom. I liked it in black and white better than color because the green grass almost over-powered the white ball-like flower of the dandelion.

Berryville Vinyards

Rachel, Erin, and I ventured south on Saturday to Berryville Vinyards.

Erin and I had never been before and we absolutely loved it! We sampled some wine and found some very cool spots to take pictures! I can't wait for the fall when vines are full of grapes so we can get some more shots from there!

Mom loved this picture! She wants me to print her a copy to hang somewhere in the house. The pond was so neat with all the trees and grass growing around it. I loved the little shack next to the pond also. Such a cool place that many people don't think about to go and see! Check it out next time you're in the area! Very cool!!

The Best Daddy

I love this picture of just their hands. Travis was trying to get August to pose for a picture.
