Playing in the Lillies

My family and I finally did our summer tradition and went to Como Zoo in St. Paul. I was very excited for the over cast rainy day and a chance to use my new camera. I was very excited to test out my zoom capabilities and see how close I could get to each flower to make it seem like I fell in. For those who do not know me, I could spend all day taking pictures of flowers. I have always felt a kinship with them and could take the same shot over and over again. These are some of the great pictures I took from the day. I hope you enjoy!

Flowers and Art

This is a shot from my Grandma's garden.


This summer was filled of round trips. At the end of August, I had the chance to go visit my grandparents in Hot Springs, AR. I am more familiar with cold winter  nights than hot, humid 95 degree summer days. We walked around down town Hot Springs, AR and spent the week enjoying each others company. We also adventured to Garvans Woodland Garden were I found an amazing church attach to the garden. There was a featured artist that put his art with the flowers. Oh, it was my cup of tea for sure!Here are some of the great pictures from the week and I hope you enjoy!

Fall Love Birds

O Man! These two love birds are great! It was great to finish the awesome weekend taking pictures for these two who are getting married in June. The sun was shining and love was in the air. We walked through Concordia Campus in Moorhead were Ryan purposed to Katie. These two birds are great friends of mine who I am very grateful to have known the last couple of years. Here are some of my favourites from a a warm fall afternoon in the great Fargo-Moorhead area.  I hope you enjoy!

Dear Ryan and Katie, I am very grateful that the Lord has blessed me with you two in my life. I can not wait what He brings for you and your future. I am so excited for the up coming months and the future you two love birds will share. Your grateful friend, Ness
