Christmas 2008



I am so happy that Ryan is excited about getting a BOOK for Christmas! He is reading it now as I type and that makes me soar with pride. :) I also LOVE that he still likes to decorate cookies for Santa and make Gingerbread houses. Awww....I will cherish these moments. HE is the light of my life. I say this every year, but this age rocks! I will burn these images into my head before he becomes a teenager. ;)

Thrilled Kitty

I cannot believe she let us do this. She is obviously excited about it! Ryan sure got a kick out of it though!

Dirty

These look so yummy, but I hate olives. So I'll just "shoot" them.

Merry Christmas

Lucy loves getting her picture taken! My boy loves that cat!

Andy?

This is my attempt at Andy Warhol art. :) The "Christmas Tree" was totally crazy. It played music and did a light show.

Snow Day!!


He was so freaking excited! Too cute watching him play. The back yard was nice for sledding on cardboard!

Nugget

Baby Eli sleeping soundly. So durn adorable!

Tinker

Christy and Serrett's engagement photos had to include Tinker! I love it when pets are included in the fun. It was the perfect day for a photo shoot and these two are so sweet and fun. Can't wait for their wedding in May!

Xmas time

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Turkey

Ry brought "Grand High Turkey" home from school the other day. And yes that is the name he gave it...we decided to shoot some photos of GHT. We particularly liked the potty shot. Ryan has an awesome sense of humor. Just like yesterday when he said his "leg wrist hurt". He says he couldn't remember the name for the ankle.

The daisy follows soft the sun,
And when his golden walk is done,
Sits shyly at his feet.
He, waking, finds the flower near.
"Wherefore, marauder, art thou here?"
"Because, sir, love is sweet!"

We are the flower, Thou the sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline,
We nearer steal to Thee,--
Enamoured of the parting west,
The peace, the flight, the amethyst,
Night's possibility!
~Emily Dickinson~

Views


The top is a view through a walkway next to where I work. The bottom is the view out my office window. That beautiful tree is now bare. My space heater is on. My skin is dry. Yep...winter has officially started in MY book.

More hiking


This hiking trail takes you along a lake with these rewarding views.



Moss

Pretty good detail considering I don't have a macro lens. :-)

Radnor Lake

I love this little lake. It is just a couple of miles from my house. Ry and I like to walk around it and talk...and look for deer.

It's Beginning to Look Like Fall


Ry and I spent the afternoon at Radnor on the Lake Trail. I think this is the first tree in the forest to change colors and drop its leaves. I guess I'll be documenting the fall progression! Ry has some fun video of the day as well. Shhh, don't tell, but I think he's developing "the eye".

Trails

Do you see a pattern here?

Jump in

This will be unreal when the fall colors hit. I'll have to go back here!

More Deer!

Encountered this cute little family of deer while hiking. Lighting was low so it's kinda blurry. I will get a better shot evenutally.

To Hell with the Diet!

These just looked almost too good to eat!

Keys

I think if I would have played this piano it would have fallen apart. It was too cool though.

Tennessee Park

Imagine hiking (for 12 miles) and seeing this...so peaceful and purdy.

He was chowing

This little dude is chowing on all of our parsley in our herb garden at work.

Shooting Deer

Normally on this hiking trail I see at least 20 deer - no lie! This time I saw only one. So I shot him. ;-) My kind of hunting Dad!

50 Million

Our catering dept. catered Alan Jackson's 50 Million Record Sales party at Vandy. It was really cool. I'll post other pics from the party later. You know I attended Garth Brooks 60 Million party like 10 years ago. I think I saw all the same people at this party. ;)
