Nature Trail

My family started school today.

Summer went by way too fast.

I miss it.

Anyway, we decided to go on a nature walk.

And of course,

I bought my camera.

Here are some photos that I took.

Flower pictures

Yes, I know that summer is at it's end.

I know that the pools are closing, and the textbooks are opening.

I know that the warm weather is leaving, and the chilly weather is on it's way.

So I decided to take and post a few flower pictures to keep your spirits up as the school year begins.

I hope that these pictures enlighten your day.

Baseball Pictures

Here are some pictures that I took

 At my brother's baseball game last night.

Hope you enjoy them!

Let me know if you want to see more pictures.

Spelunking

This is completely random.

But in my Co-op, we have a very small high school class.

Like, four people small.

I know.

Anyway, we sometimes get sidetracked, 

and off topic.

This is where our conversation led to:

Teacher: Are you guys watching the Olympics?

Me: Yeah, I love watching the ice skating.

Teacher: Do you guys watch the luge?

Classmate: What's the luge?

Teacher: It's like the bobsled, only smaller.

Me: That sounds fun. Maybe I should try it!

(later)

Spelunking comes up.

Me: Oh, I could go spelunking in a luge someday!

Brother: You'll probably die.

Me: I know, but I still think that it would be fun.

(later)

Chocolate covered chicken came up.

Me: Oh, I could go spelunking in a luge someday, while eating a chocolate covered chicken!

Classmate: What about stalactites and stalagmites?

Me: I would have two machetes in my hands.

Everyone: Wow.

That's just how weird I am.

Spelunking: To explore caves, especially as a hobby.

Luge: A one or two-person sled for coasting and racing down a chute, used especially in Europe.

Basketball

Today, I'm going to post about

Basketball.

Our season ended about a week and a half ago.

I played, two of my brothers played, and my dad coached.

We had a really fun season.

We had a couple of laughs,

a little bit of silliness 

and a lot of sweating.

But over all,

we had a great time.

I feel so blessed to have a great team and a great coach!

Photo Shoot

My friend and I got together, and started thinking. 

We have a camera

We have cute cloths

We're girls

Let's have a photo shoot! 

This is what we came up with.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

My Merry Christmas

It's been a while since I've last posted. I hope I wasn't keeping you in suspense.

This Christmas was full of laughs, surprises, music and yes, even cries.

I even made my parents tear up when I unwrapped my Canon XTi. It was one of the happiest

moments of my life.

Here are some shots that I captured with it. Enjoy!
