A while back we traveled to Hawaii.  We made a stop at the Pali Lookout.  It has beautiful views and lots of WIND!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (A day Late)

So this was supposed to be yesterday's post, but obviously that didn't happen. My hubby decided on a whim that we should drive to Tok, AK yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a drive so we went.  It took us roughly 3 hrs to get there and 3 to get home.  By the time we got home it was entirely too late to be doing blog posts.  Oh well, right?

On top of this being a late post, some of the pics aren't new either...boo! I brought my camera along with us yesterday to get the last few shots I needed.  I went to take a picture and no memory card...D'OH! Thank goodness for my iPhone. At least with that I was able to take a few fun pics on the way.

Anways, sorry for the late post and lack of new pictures...I'll do better next week!! :~)

Shutter Love - Crazy Faces

So I'm pretty excited.  I finally snagged one of the Shutter Love Tuesday Top 10 photo spots over at The Trendy Tree House with my circles post.  I just had to share that with everyone:~) Now moving on to this Tuesday's photo post...

This week's theme is Crazy Faces.

This is a self portrait that I took after a long and very wet day of four wheeling.  I don't know if it's as much of a crazy face as it is crazy everything else.  Notice the mud on my jacket....

New! Gallery Photos and Etsy Shop Prints

School is over, which means no more distractions...atleast for the summer.  I have taken lots O' pictures  between now and the last time I updated my gallery.  I figured it was about time that I did just that. Here is a preview of some of the photos I added...

Since I was  playing around with pictures I went ahead and added some new prints to my Etsy shop. Head on over and take a look! Don't forget to check out my Mom's jewelry.  A new sparkly accessory would be great for summer:~)

 

Shutter Love - Circles

This week's theme is Circles.

Ok, Ok...I know these aren't exactly circles, but they are circular and it's the best I can do for this week.  Besides, this is one of my favorite pictures.  When I took it I didn't realize my camera had decided to focus on the fence instead of the chickens.  I guess my camera knew better because I love how it turned out.

Its been a while... (and Shutter Love)

It has been quite some time since I posted.  I have been enjoying a little time off. Last week was Spring Break for me, which meant a much needed break from homework. So I filled the time by catching up on cleaning and working on a few projects. The week before that I was soaking up some much needed Vitamin D on the beach in Florida:~) But sadly I am back to my daily routine.  The upside is that the days (daylight) are getting longer and the temps are getting warmer.  Spring is in the air in Alaska. 

For today I have an entry for Shutter Love Tuesday over at The Trendy Treehouse and some pictures from my FL mini vacation to share.

This week's Theme is Emotions.

This is a picture of total HAPPINESS! It was 78 degrees and sunshiny, which was a far cry from the -28 degrees that it was back home.

Shutter Love - Valentine's Day

This week's theme is Valentine's Day.

I took this shot of my hubby and I while we were in CO.

This week's theme is TINTS.

This is a picture I took over christmas at The Garden of the Gods in Colorado.

Back to Real Life

Well we are back from vacation. We had a fantastic time in CO with visiting with family and escaping the cold of Alaska for a while.  It was really nice to be around family again and not only did we get to see his, but my parents surprised me for  New Years and flew in from MD for a long weekend:~) It was a really great break from daily life.  But now we're back and the vacation is over.  Back to school, projects, and the blog:~)

 

I have posted some new pictures to my gallery from our trip to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.  Feel free to take a look and remember that the photos I post are there are free to be copied for personal use only. 

Thanks!!
