Amazing Eagle!

We were driving home from the cabin on Sunday, and on the side of the road was an eagle eating a dead animal. We drove by it and it didn't fly away, so we quick whipped a U turn and drove back so I could snap some shots of it. I didn't have time to speed up my shutter speed to get the wings clear which I'm super bummed about. I was franticly trying to get the camera out of the bag before he flew away, so I ended up shooting this in whatever setting I had the camera in last. Argh! But Still, I got an amazing close up of an eagle! How cool is that?!?

Winter can be beautiful!

Ok, I hate winter, but it can be pretty if you look at it differently. This is one of my favorite spots at the cabin! I have found lots of joy in photographing the winter scenery. I would rather be at the beach photographing the sunset...but i'll make do.

Kisses to all

Storyboards

Ok, so over the last year I have spent countless amount of hours making storyboards and cards in photoshop for customers. Today I came across a website where you can buy premade storyboard templates and borders and all sorts of stuff. I don't know if i'll invest in it yet because I love making them, but at least it's an option and something to think about. I wish I would have known about this when I was first figuring it all out! So here is one I made today with some of the valentine pics. I can't decide if I like color or black and white. Any thoughts???

Soooo sad :(

I have a sad story. Some family friends are going through a horrible time right now and need lots of prayer.

The family lives in California, John and Mary have 10 kids. 8 are still at home and the youngest is 3 and has downs syndrome. One of the other children has severe diabetes. Mary was diagnosed with cancer and the family new she was not going to survive. John's mom lives in MN and wasn't doing well so John decided to fly home and see her because he didn't know if he would be able to make it back anytime soon because Mary was sick. He came to MN and had a great visit. He was scheduled to leave on Feb 3rd. He wasn't feeling very well and everyone thought he was just getting sick. He made it to the airport and told an employee how he was feeling and they decided to call an ambulance. Little did they know he was having a heart attack. When they reached the hospital he went into cardiac arrest. Very few people survive this. They cooled his body temperature down and sedated him and put a balloon in. The doctors said he should come out of this and be ok. It took a few days of trying to get the vent out but he was finally breathing on his own last thursday. Then on Sat. Mary was brought into the hospital in CA. She wasn't doing well. She died Monday night. John was able to be on the phone with Mary and the kids as she died. The hospital was able to release John yesterday (tuesday) to go home to CA to be with his kids. This is just so sad! Right now no one knows who's going to take care of the kids. The family has no insurance. John may still have to have surgery. Please keep this family in your prayers.
