A Spring walk

Rainy season is almost over here in Oregon, which means I am going to take any opportunity to soak up the sun.  I decided to take a walk around our neighborhood and this is what I captured. 

These flowers are everywhere and I love the yellow fields of them.  I think they are weeds but I think they are beautiful.

Wid & Wonderful Wednesday-Photo Challenge

This will be my first post for Wild and Wonderful Wednesday. With two young children my days are pretty wild and fun. 

Where we live we have an apple tree right beside our deck.  And we have birds, squirrels, cat, etc that come there to eat.  Sometimes I feel like Snow White with all the animals coming.  Thankfully they are not coming to hear me sing like the real Snow White.  lol.  I love to sit and watch the birds come to eat every day.  And now as I am on my daily walks I look up to see them flying around. 

You Capture-FALL

Fall is my absolute favorite season.  It is the time of year I was married, had my first child, it is FOOTBALL season, leaves change colors, sweaters and boots are in style once more, you can have a fire in your fireplace, and mostly it is the start of the holidays. 

I love this photo because it captures that the leaves have changed colors and most have fallen off the tree and also the leaf is in the shape of a heart. 

Little Man Love

I recently had an amazing photo shoot with a friend of mine and her children.  She needed some Christmas photos and I needed a little practice.  She has a little man who will be a year in January and he is utterly adorable.  I can't wait until I get to babysit him when his mom and dad go on a date.  lol. 

He did such a great job the entire time but right after this picture he was done.  hehe. Babies are so precious.  I hope you enjoy my selection. 

Clicking Walk 2011-Portland Pic's

I know you all have been waiting for awhile to see these.  Sorry about that.  Life kinda got away from me for awhile.  Busy being a momma.  lol.  Hope you enjoy. 

Those are just a few of my favorites.  I told you our model was gorgeous.

Clickinwalk-Portland

I was lucky enough to stumble across a web site called,"Clickin Moms", and found out about a walk they were having in my area.  I instantly wanted to go.  I love walking around towns snapping away and to be able to walk with fellow moms at the same time=FUN!  
I was a little nervous at first.  I didn't know anyone, and I also didn't know how to get around Downtown Portland.  Thank goodness I have a GPS.  I found the meeting area easy but parking had a science to it.  I finally after driving around the same block 5 times stopped and asked some nice ladies with cameras in their hands where on earth do I park.  One suggested parallel parking across the road, I in my head started laughing.  The thought of me  parallel parking was hilarious. That was the one thing I did not have on my driving test.  Finally I found a parking garage!  I don't mind paying 4 bucks as long as my car doesn't get towed and I can well PARK.  
All the ladies were super nice.  Some had tons of experience and some were like me, still learning.  We walked the streets stopping where ever we saw a great spot.  Our teen model was a pro and gorgeous to say the least.  Two hours later we ended our time with a group picture, they headed to grab a bite to eat and I headed to the mountains to spend my anniversary with my hubby. 
We all said we wanted to plan another outing together.  I sure hope we do.  It was amazing. So glad I stepped out of my comfort zone.

Taking a Walk....

I deceided to put on my walking shoes and get out of the house to enjoy the wonderful sunshine day we had.  We won't be having many more since the rainy season is closing in on us.  I walked down the road where there is a huge field and old house with a barn.  I just love it back there.
