First Snow of the Year!

  Recently it snowed! Last Friday night my sisters and I were on our way back from a party at Big Als (a bowling , arcade, and restaurant venue) when we noticed snowflakes swirling and blowing from the sky! It was so cool! The next morning I looked outside, and oh my gosh, a blanket of snow had enveloped our whole neighborhood! It was really quite amazing.

   Although I immediately wanted to go jump in it, I had to clean our house and finish decorating for Christmas because we were going to have a party at our house that night, but soon after I was finished we bundled ourselves up and ran outside! I had to document our first snow at our new house :)  It was very fun. We played in the snow and Daisy, in her adorable hot pink jacket, just ran around everywhere. Sierra made a new snow game called "Snow Zombies". It is kind of weird, but a very fun game. Good Job Sierra!

Here's some photographs I took of the first snow :)

 12 more days of Christmas! pretty excited!

My Super Fantastic Photos

This semester I am enrolled in Photo 1, and I have had just a fantastic time learning the techniques and principles of photography. Taking pictures has always been a interesting passion of mine, I just absolutely love capturing memories!! When I was young, I wanted to be a professional photographer; climbing the frigid arctic glaciers and capturing the perfect composition of the ice (did I mention I don't like heights and take every opportunity to not be in cold conditions), but since then I have found other interests. It is still a passion I have, but one I'm planning on pursuing as a hobby, not a career. Nonetheless, I think photography is such a great art and is in every aspect of our society today. Think about it! We use images for everything, to educate, to entertain, to impact! Its really a wonderful thing that many of us today take for granted.

So here's some images I took. =) hope you enjoy them!

 I took this in La Grande, Oregon. I didn't even realize what a good composition it was until I transferred it onto my computer!

This was taken at my school, as an assignment my teacher had the the whole class take pictures in the parking lot. I really like the glare of the morning sun.

These were both taken on a rainy day in my front yard, i got all wet but it was worth it!!
