Senior Pictures

Saturday I had the opportunity to snap a few senior pictures for a friend at church.  She is one of the kindest ladies you will ever meet.  Her son was going to prom Saturday and just had to have some photos in his white tux!  He's quite a looker!  Wow...prom... seems like just yesterday, but for me it was over 10 years ago!  I think I'm getting old.  hahaha!  Lucky for us, we were just in time between rain showers to snap a few pictures.  Here is your picture preview and all the photos will be up in the client viewing gallery shortly.  Thanks!

Dynamo vs. Whitecaps

Depending on the rain, Thursday could have been the last game of the season for Dynamo!  It went by so fast!  Thanks to a very thougthful coach and his wife, the game kicked off with cupcakes, gift bags and metals.  I think all the girls were tickled to death to get a metal, even though Kaitlyn decided to be a little shy about hers!  Here are a few highlights from the game, and the rest of the photos will follow soon in the gallery.  Thanks for looking!

Arkansas Back Roads - Indian Cave & Shores Lake

This will be the second posting for the new Arkansas Backroads gallery, yay!  Last weekend I went on a little hiking/photo trip with my dad to Indian Cave, which is near Mountainburg.  I had no idea we had anything like it in this area, but it is just a small bluff with Indian carvings in it.  You can definitely tell that they are legitimate, and unfortunately some very inconsiderate people who do not appreciate the value and history, tried leaving their own carvings on the walls too.  But it is obvious those are fake.  The lines are very thin meaning they had a sharp tool such as a knife, back then the Indians used stones creating much deeper lines and impressions.
After Indian Cave, we headed down to Shores lake which is at the bottom of White Rock.  What a beautiful lake!  If you haven't been there you must go.  Such a peaceful and secluded place, it can help anyone de-stress.  Here are a few photos from my adventures!  And remember they will all go into the Arkansas Backroads Gallery!

Dynamo vs. Union

So I have to start this post out by apologizing!!  I have missed most of the games this season due to other obligations that came up!  I feel terrible because I love sharing photos with family members who couldn't make the game!  But hopefully I can make the last 3 games left after this one.  

Saturday was a perfect day for soccer!  So sunny, and the Dynamo girls were playing so well!  I have seen lots of improvement from the fall season.  I think they are starting to understand the game a bit more ;-)  These girls are still so stinkin cute too!  You just never know what they are going to do, or what kind of faces they will make.  Here is your picture preview, and the entire gallery will be up shortly following this link.

Backyard Flower Rundown

So springtime is finally here, and my backyard has suddenly burst into bloom!  It's sooo pretty, except for all the weeds in my lawn!  I just couldn't resist shooting some of my flowers this morning with the dew on them, and the sun shining through. The first one you will see is a Jane Magnolia tree with purple/magenta colored blooms.  I absolutely love this tree!  It's actually a bush, but if you prune it up right, it can grow into a tree.  And, it always blooms about 4 times a year.  In the summer its full over large green waxy looking leaves.  

The other thing blooming right now are my daffodils.  I ordered these bulbs from a place that claimed the daffodils were pink!  After a few years now, they are turning pink, but they still look a little peach to me.  Either way, I love unique plants!  The other is a double daffodil, which means it has extra petals in it.  I think the rain yesterday has beaten them up a little so they aren't as pretty now. 

My bleeding heart bush is growing, and has it's first set of little hearts growing.  These grow very fast, and come back every year.  I think for now, the only other thing coming up is my peony bush.  Those grow humongous flowers that bloom in the summer.  But for now, they look pretty neat coming up out of the ground.  How amazing that these plans just know exactly when to come up year after year.  It's such an amazing thing, nature.  God is so evident in it, I think that's why I love it so much!  Well, I hope you enjoy these, and I will post them in my flowers gallery if anyone is interested!  Thanks!
