Skate Park Photo Shoot

I finally got the boys' school pictures taken!  It was a little difficult trying to get a relaxed pose out of each of them with all the other kids skating around us during the photo shoot but I think they turned out fairly well.  So here is the sneak peek of the skate park photo shoot.

God's Beautiful Creation In The Sand Hills

Yesterday the weather was perfect for a long walk in the Sand Hills near our home.  I grabbed my camera, my youngest son and the dog and headed over for a nature walk.  We had a great time up until we hit the stickers and we were stopping every few feet to pick stickers out of the dog's paws!  Poor Poopsie was afraid to take a step!  I ended up carrying her as much as was possible.  And mind you, she is not a little dog!  We were all glad when we finally reached the sand road so the dog could walk without getting stickers!  
Taking pictures of nature is one of my favorite things.  There is no posing and you can take your time most of the time to line up the composition.  So here are my favorite shots from our walk through the Sand Hills.
