Hello and Goodbye

Hello folks!

I have been having a lovely, busy week. 

Our family is getting ready to leave for vacation tomorrow. 

We are going on a road trip to Colorado (along with some other states). I have never been far past Iowa, so I am rather excited. 

And you know, there will be a lot of things to take pictures of. 

Rivers. 

The road. 

My family (the backs of my family's heads)

You never know, I might even see a Mountain (they have those in CO right?) !

Ho-boy, I am excited! 

Anyways, I thought I would say hello, and goodbye before we leave tomorrow. 

Hello. 

Goodbye. 

And I thought I would post some pictures while I was at it. 

I like to multi-task, it makes me feel like I am doing something useful. 

So, here we have a picture of me, my camera, and the lovely mirror I stole from grandma's room just to take pictures (I have returned it).

I always raise my eyebrows like that when I take pictures...I think it looks funny.

My older sister got this compass somewhere, so I took some pictures of it. 

There is something about a  compass that fascinates me. 

I did a very short shoot with my sister a few weeks ago, we found a nice vintage suitcase under my grandma's bed and used it as a prop. 

I am seeing some kind of repetition in the last three photos. 

Every prop I used I stole from somebody...whoops.  Don't worry, all objects have been returned to their rightful owners. 

Summer is almost upon us, you know what I love best about the summer? 

Well here is a short list:

Sunshine

The beach

The pool

Iced tea

Freedom from school

Pasta salad (my mom makes the BEST pasta salad in the world) 

Strawberries 

Long bike rides

Well folks, I have to go finish packing for vacation. 

I'll be back with lots of pictures!!

  Have a wonderful week/weekend!!!
