Nighttime Landscape

In honor of the amazing meteor we saw flying through the sky on Wednesday, the days growing shorter with Winters impending arrival and the assignment I received from the DPS newsletter I get weekly I took my camera out for an extended exposure last night. The sun hadn't set long before this shot, but it was windy, so the exposure was 25 sec at f2.8 with an iso of 25, but I loved the composition with the moon in the crosshairs of the power lines and the tail lights of the plane flying through the sky.  I hope you enjoy this little exercise as well!

Brotherly Love

Going back through some of my older pictures today; I came across this one of my youngest nephew Emmett and my oldest nephew Henry in the background that I have never edited or shared before but totally love!

Which one?!

So...we just picked two images for our Canvas on Demand Groupon.  Which is your favorite?

Cotton Candy Sky

 

This is the beautiful sunset we witnessed on our way home from a fabulous day today exploring the California coast 

all the way from Monterey to Santa Cruz.

Fun in San Fran

  
    After a fun filled day of GoCarring with friends in downtown SF we experienced another gorgeous San Fran sunset on our way to dinner in Oakland.

Wyoming to Utah

Hello Western America

Boulder Dushanbe Tea House

The Boulder Dushanbe Tea House was a spot recommended to me by my Aunt and Uncle and it is a Boulder must-see!  The Tea House was actually a gift to the city of Boulder by their sister city, Dushanbe (the capital of Tajikistan).  The presence of tea in Boulder, CO was a pleasant surprise.  In addition to the Dushanbe Tea House we also visited the factory and headquarters of Celestial Seasons Tea.

 Onward to Wyoming...

Driving Through the Flat Lands

See ya later Kentucky!

St. Louis Arch

  I took this picture especially for my sister Kate, who went to college in St. Louis.  I  love how it came out though, we had some truly beautiful days with especially gorgeous skies on our trip  out west!

Monument Rocks of Kansas

   The Monument Rocks of Kansas, also known as Chalk Pyramids are very impressive.  Formed over 80 million years ago these rocks, like their second name have a very chalky texture.  Towering over 70 ft. tall - the one pictured above naturally shaped like a camel others have holes through them; amazing wonders of the world.
