Tiptoe Through the Lily Pads

September 6, 2010

I love three day weekends!  We were sitting at home Saturday around lunch time and suddenly said – “Let’s go camping!”   So we packed up and headed out as soon as possible!  We loaded up our bikes and the dogs and we were off.  Along the way – our bikes came loose and there were a few casualties.  I had no idea that handle bars could be filed down so quickly by concrete and speed.  LOL!!!  We decided to visit Huntsville State Park.  It is north of Houston and an easy short drive.

Sunday morning we rode our beat up bikes to the swimming area.  It is a nice spot – But if you leave that swimming area – beware of alligators.  We only saw a 2 footer – they are more scared of us – right?  We also had a relaxing canoe ride.  Well it was relaxing for me – the guys paddled and I just sat in the middle.  :o )  Here are a few snaps from our trip!

We spent last week enjoying coastal Alabama.  It was a fabulous trip.  We had so much fun and visited many great spots.  This post is dedicated to the gorgeous Bellingrath Gardens in Theodore, Alabama.  It is a 65 acre garden with a lovely historic home.  It was originally built on the site of a fishing camp along the Fowl river and then evolved to be so much more.  The gardens were first shared by the Bellingraths in 1934.    It is open year round and the fabulous flowers change with the seasons.  It is a gorgeous living work of art with so many spots to sit and soak in the beauty.

Natasha and Gaston are now Mr. and Mrs. Garcia!  I have known Natasha since she was in high school.  Time really flies! I had such a great time with all of their family and friends.  Lots of food and fun.  Here is a quick sneak peek of the newlyweds!

Yesterday the weather was perfect – sunny with a few clouds – a cool breeze – just right for capturing some photos out in a field of flowers.  I really enjoyed chatting with Lauren and her Mom and brother.  Her brother by the way – way a great reflector holder!  I could use him as an assistant.  It is a wonderful thing to gaze through your camera in a field of yellow flowers – it is just like creating a painting in your camera.  I highly recommend it.  It also helps when you have a beautiful model like Lauren.  Congratulations Girl!  Here are a few quick peeks from your session.

I love Colorado! It is such a wonderful place to visit for family fun. We love to visit my sister in law and her family each Spring Break. And of course we take in the slopes and sites! The day we arrived was horrible. A blizzard almost kept us on the mountain. We could not see a thing and the drive down was treacherous. We made it down and said a prayer of relief. We stayed at Mount Princeton resort with wonderful hot springs pools. Which is a perfect way to end the day after skiing! We also loved to see all the wildlife in the surrounding area – we saw deer, elk, coyotes, big horn sheep, a bald eagle and various birds and small mammals. I need to get a super zoom lens to capture some of these creatures with my camera next time. We had a wonderful trip. Here are a few shots from our adventure.
