Summer-Fall 2012

Hey Reids,
We've been absent for awhile so I'm going to follow suit and do a picture post!

We went to Shenandoah Nat'l Park.

We watched a sunset in a swamp in Assateague.

My family visited DC. 

We rode in a Tesla Model S with JVB.

 Pat and JVB by the reflecting pool.

We hung on Playa Navio in Vieques, Puerto Rico.

We camped here off of Sun Bay in Vieques.

Walked to our spot on Sun Bay.

Official wedding dogwalkers

Here are a couple of pics from the boys duties as the dogwalkers at cousin Jacob's wedding today. They're not the best photos, but I have to say, they look quite handsome.

Gizmo and the boys.

Road Trip to California

I recently returned from a week long trip to California. I was helping one of my best friends on her big move out to San Diego. I'd always wanted to make a cross-country road trip and this was just the opportunity. We took 3 1/2 days to get out there with stops in Kansas City, Denver, and Zion National Park. I stayed a few days in San Diego and then hopped up to San Francisco to catch up with some college friends.

Sunset over Missouri 

Sunrise over the Rockies.

Oh, hey there, crazy slanted rocks.

Pulled off at a "View Area" and we sure got quite a view.

Zion National Park...

My buddy, Melissa, and me.

The Virgin River flows through the Zion canyon.

We went on the Emerald Pools hike, this was just the first waterfall we saw.

Butterfly House

Maggie inspired me to try a little nature photography of my own at the Butterfly House. I like Maggie's more, but I thought I would share anyway.

Tulip Time

A friend and I went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens yesterday and stumbled into Easter egg hunt day. It was great to see so many people out enjoying the great weather. All the great weather means an early bloom for many of the flowers including the gorgeous tulips.

I may not have a fancy camera but I make up for it in volume.
