Weekend fun!

This past weekend I had the chance to meetup with a good friend of mine and take pictures of Gerber Daisies. It hadn't dawned on me how much I have changed over the years until my friend pointed out to us how odd it is that we not only take pictures of daisies in our "free" time but that we enjoy it. I must admit, I did have a lot of fun. Most of all though I love the finished product. I have always been jealous of people who were naturally gifted at creating art because I have never been one of them. I have always been too analytical to put the left side of my brain to sleep long enough to create something beautiful. Finally, in photography, I have found the best of both worlds.

The celebration of spring

These pictures show how we welcomed the arrival of spring this year. The day before the temperatures were in the 60's and on Saturday, the 1st day of spring, the temperatures were in the 30's while 5 to 6 inches of snow fell to the ground. In the moment I was quite irritated but in looking back, I am thankful for the experience that I was able to have with my wonderful wife and children. This also happened to Micaiah's first experience in the snow.

Here is an old photo, taken in August, of Micaiah that I stumbled over while scanning my photos in Picasas today. The crazed yet cute look in his eyes compelled me to blog it. I am so thankful for photos like this.
