Pictures of the New Year

I was going to post about how I need to eat more vegetables. I decided to post some photos instead. Happy Monday.

Cute picture of the cat that drives me insane, Kamikaze.

We took a trip to Tacoma this weekend to attend Collin's Grandmothers memorial, it was a lovely gathering of family and we all enjoyed coming together to celebrate Lois. Here's a picture from Collin's Grandfather's patio.

What a beautiful view of the cascades! It was a perfect day. Could have been spring time with how sublime Yesterday was.

Before we left the area we went to visit Lois' monument and her final resting place had a lovely view of Mt. Rainer. It's so wonderful to live in the Pacific Northwest. It's just so beautiful out here.

Then on the drive home we caught some awesome shading during the sunset. I just loved the multi-layered grey-blues. This was a tricky shot to get as we were on the freeway. With all the bumps in the car it wasn't easy.

Then I got a quick pick of the sunset with Mt. Baker in the background.

And then when we were almost home I caught the full moon. This shot was even more difficult. I screwed up and got some a the cars doorframe in the shot, but this was the only one that wasn't blurry. You can even see the man on the moon!

And then a shot of some trees in the sunset reflected in a pond.This one has the side-mirror in it. And a huge dirt smudge. But just ignore all that. Try and see the inner beauty or something.

Enjoy.

Hobbies - Photography

I've been seriously slacking on all my hobbies. Being a housewife my job entails keeping my house livable. This should be easy as I'm here all day long, but with Twitter and Facebook calling my name all day I seem to lose track of time quite easily.

In college one of my favorite hobbies was taking pictures. I still love to take pictures, but it seems like the desert has been lacking inspiration for me. I used to take so many pictures that it was necessary to have a pro account on Flickr. After two years here, my pro account has lapsed, and I still haven't figured out how to use my new camera (from last Christmas).

I'm getting there though. Here are some recent-ish photos I've taken. Enjoy!
