Disney on Ice {Fun Stuff}

I got some tickets to Disney on Ice (Thanks Jen) and took my mom, Jewels, Jonathan and Page.

I'll have this blog of "fun stuff" and a "best of" from the night on my other blog (karynlynne.blogspot.com).

Jewels was so happy to be there.

Jonathan and Page told her she could pick one thing from the stands. She picked this Minnie spinning glow stick.

Just having some fun with the lights.

Happy little family. Mom has the shot of all five of us on her camera.

Another shot with the lights.

Jewels posing before the show with the ice rink in the back.

Lorton Gilbert {5-23-1919 to 2-20-2011}

My grandpa, Aunt and Uncle came down from Seattle a couple years back and here are some of the shots of them (mainly my grandpa) during that trip.

My grandpa passed yesterday and I went in and found the shots from the trip to make this heart-shaped image.


Also in the photos is my mom, dad my brother (Jonathan) and Jewels.

Family fun in the Snow

So here's the final set of photos from our time at the cabin.

Uncle James and Jewels having a snowball fight.

Wow that's a big snowball.

Get ready for this one Uncle James.


Hi Auntie Karyn.

Just liked the lighting on the wood.

A bird feeder hanging from one of the many trees.

Here comes a snowball my way.

Some snow coming down the stairs.

Meeko's first time in the snow

Meeko had his first snow when James and I went up to Page's cabin last month.

Holly came to join Meeko in the fun with the snow.

Wood Art {Snowy Cabin}



James and I went to Page's family cabin on Thursday to play in the snow, take photographs and just to get out of town.

One of page's family members carves wood and had all these tree trunks with carvings of faces.

The photo above was my absolute favorite from the bunch. It's a raccoon and reminds me of Meeko from Pocahontas, which in turn reminds me of my puppy dog Meeko since that's the character I named him after.

This carving is the first one sees upon arriving at the cabin with their name on a sign (There's a photo below).

Below is one of the face carvings which again has a raccoon on the top, but also has a little added detail with the nose hairs.



This was one of the longest carvings, but is not carved straight into a living tree. This one, along with another are posts near the fire wood pile.


Here's a gnome-like carving also near the wood pile.



Here's the welcome sign with the raccoon and their name.


Here's eyes and mouth carvings added to a tree to make a face (view from the cabin).



Another bridhouse-like face from a different angle.



The eyes and mouth carvings view from the ground.


Another face on a pole.

Lunar Eclipse {2010}

Last month (Dec. 21, 2010) was the Lunar Eclipse. After I got home from work I took out my camera and got down on the ground to get some stability.

I compiled the four shots as one and placed the four separate below.





What's to come: Fun Lunar Eclipse photos. (I played around with the zoom and moving the camera around.
