Today’s Shots

Just a few shots from my yard and across the street on the path where there are lots of weedy flowers. The lighting was just right.

Vintage Chair

One of the neighbors had this old chair outside. I just loved how worn it was.

Anoka, Stillwater, Hudson and Home Again Jiggidy Jig

The first weekend in June was a busy one for our family. The man of the house joined his group of friends for a motorcycle weekend to Wisconsin. IMG_0391Cheryl and I took off to Hudson for a night to have a girls night away, but it was also a work weekend for us. On our way to Stillwater, we spent a few hours shooting family pictures at an anniversary party/reunion for a friend. So much fun and so many fun pics from that day!IMG_0554Then we hooked up with our next wedding clients (her nephew and future neice) to work on wedding shot plans for August. That was awesome too!IMG_1322We finally settled in Hudson where we stayed. IMG_1390
We ate dinner at this fun little place called the Urban Olive and Vine. It was really great food with tons of gluten free options. They even had a live Jazz band playing a set while we were there. Great music, awesome food, good friend, perfect end to our busy day!

As with many river towns, they are all experiencing some flooding and Hudson was no different. IMG_1435IMG_1426IMG_1439IMG_1441IMG_1442The next day we checked out the marina before heading back towards home. We both had things that hurried us home sooner than we had hoped. Next time, more time, no hurry.IMG_1455IMG_1467I was surprised how high the water was!IMG_1475We thought we would have time for the camera club meeting that coming week (with the kids coming home from camp that same day, it didn’t end up working out) I tried to get a pic for the assignment that was a wide open shot of a recreational space. The sky was so great that day that this seemed like a worthy option. IMG_1485After that we rushed home and went onto or normal lives. Can’t wait for another time away!

Walk About

I wasn’t able to join the other camera club folks at the quarry, but I did manage to get the kids out for a little walk tonight even if it was a short one. IMG_4114IMG_4118IMG_4119IMG_4129IMG_4122IMG_4142IMG_4101IMG_4145IMG_4074IMG_4079IMG_4080IMG_4083IMG_4091

Final Baby Robin

The babies have flown the coop. Not sure they meant to leave the nest, but none the less, I bumped into them in my back yard today. The mother was yelling at me when I was doing something else and I noticed that her baby was in one of our other trees. I am still hoping that the neighbors kitty doesn’t find them.
