Photography: Yellowstone's Upper Loop...

I don’t think I could pick a favorite place within Yellowstone National Park. They are all so unique and different. I’m not a huge fan of the sulfur smell at the hot springs, but they are pretty cool to watch. The waterfalls are beautiful and the landscape changes so much throughout the park. First it’s grasslands, then mountains, then trees, then barren rocks. I loved seeing as much as we can, but I wish we had planned a little more time to walk around different areas longer.

Photography: Yellowstone's Lower Loop...

On our recent family road trip we knew we really wanted to see Yellowstone. Originally we were only going to be there for one night but I really wanted to have more time so we stayed two nights in west Yellowstone. We could have spent far longer… Yellowstone is HUGE. The first day we drove the lower loop so we could see Old Faithful. I had no idea how many places we’d find to stop along the way. The park is amazing and around each bend in the road is another landscape more breathtaking than the one we left behind. I truly could have spent weeks here.

Photography: waterfall hike...

My family and I took a trip to Willow River State Park in Wisconsin. It’s about a 45 minute drive from our neck of the woods, and it was such a nice day to go for a hike. Seeing waterfalls, exploring caves, and being outdoors- it couldn’t have been a more wonderful time.

Photography: green edible garden

One of my raised bed gardens is all green: lettuces, snap peas, garlic, green beans, and cucumbers. It’s fun to see them all growing together, even if they are all green. I’ve been enjoying fresh garden salads for the last week and my lettuce only seem to be getting bigger. I am totally hook on this whole gardening thing, especially since I don’t have to go out and buy my lunch, just pick it.

Photography: ants...

Playing around with my Macro filters again. This time I spotted a few ants on my mothers flowers. I heard something about the ants help to open this variety of flower, I just thought it was fun to watch them work.

Photography: Flowers...

I've never really been that interested in flowers. But the last year or so I've got the gardening bug. It started with our first ever vegetable garden last year. When researching my garden this year, I read about companion plants and a few flowers that were beneficial to plant near certain veggies. I planted a few marigolds, poppies and a dahlia near my cauliflower. Now I am noticing other flowers just for their pure beauty and design. Maybe next year my garden will be colorful as well as edible.

Photography: Spring...

The weather is above freezing and the snow is melting. It’s time to get outside to enjoy splashing in puddles, taking longer walks and soaking in the sunshine.

 My Little Misters and I went to a spring flower show to see flowers as we patiently wait to plant our own.
