Clouds and Gardens

These were the creepy clouds over our house one day before a dump down storm. Lots of rain - these were the first photos I took.


This is one of the beautiful flowers in my garden. I really like the luminosity of the color.

Milana Swims

This is Milana and her new found love of being a fish! Kiki is the diving stick thrower. Actually, she was doing a pretty good job tossing the sticks into the water by the end of the day.

Water Fun!

Here are some fun water shots. The girls have been outside as much as possible (when it's not raining). They played on the neighbor's slip and slide, in our hot tub and pool, and in the pool at the campground. Milana is a fish. She has been "practicing" swimming all winter in the limited space in the hot tub and it has paid off. She did her first shot in the big pool and needed diving sticks her first shot out. She really swims! Kiki is a wall hugger - she is not into the deep water, but does all she can to play in anything else! We were joined by Ella one day to play while mom and dad were packing to move. She warms up to the water and gets in eventually.

Enjoy!

Old Time Family Portraits

We took some time away from the campground when the weather cooled down to go into Galena and look around. Milana suggested we go get our family pictures taken. Way fun - and the first photo we have had taken together in quite a while. Enjoy!

Ready to Go!

We are going to give this a try. I shoot so many photos that this seems like and easy way to share them!
