Day 24

Thinking of Scotland

Day 23

Very simple but I love it.

Day 22

I took the dog outside tonight and this is what I saw!
I flew back inside (well ran, my broom is broken :))to get the camera.
I finally got a good shot where it wasn't blurred!!
Moon shots are really hard for me,
I haven't figured them out yet, but I'm happy with this one!
Enjoy!

Day 21

Today is the birthday of my first son.
When I remember back to that day,
I remember it being filled with wonder,
elation, and just a little pinch of anxiety.
I can't even believe how old he is now,
it seems like time just hopped on a plane and flew by!
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful child,
he is truly a great soul.

Day 20

Blueridge is what they call it...

A little slice of mountains peeking through as we were leaving our first hike. PERFECT day! I think the high was 78 but for most of the day it was 74 and sunny. In some places it was even chilly - in the higher elevations.
We saw a few different falls, it was just beautiful. Can't wait to go back, there are several places we want to stop at and check out.

Day 19

This tree had two parts to it and it was just cool looking with all its twistyness. Great spot to take pictures in front of, especially the other side, but my kids were already done for the day with pics - this was the last place we went to.

Day 18

We spent the day hiking and saw some really interesting things. This is a carving done by indians estimated to be done sometime between 8000 B.C. to 1500 A.D. the big thing in the middle is a fertility symbol, to the left is a human figure, bird tracks and cup holes (for grinding food, medicine, and paint) are all around.
