Favorite Shots of 2011

I don't do New Year's resolutions. Don't know why really. Just never have. So with that said I will instead share maybe a little known fact about myself.

I LOVE taking pictures of stuff outside. Don't get me wrong, my kids are incredibly cute and more than willing to be photographed. I just LOVE nature. I LOVE old buildings and unique things. I LOVE everyday things too. Things people pass by and probably don't even think twice about.

When Dan & I are out and about he often hears,"Oh that would be a cool picture!"
The funny thing is I have an old camera. And when I say old I mean O-L-D! Like 10 years old.
It does nothing fancy and in fact we bought it when Morgan was born so we could have a digital camera. I don't own photo shop. I just point, shoot and down load.
I am happiest when I am outside. I love the trees, the water, boats, bikes.
When I am anywhere near an airport I get the itch to leave on an adventure and often it starts a series of cycles where Dan finds me planning some sort of trip. Ha!

So with that said I want to share some of my favorite things I saw last year while just walking, riding, or boating around.
Don't judge I AM NOT a professional and I make NO MONEY from my photos. Some of them are rough. It's just for the LOVE of things I see that make me SMILE.

Harbor view of Catalina from our ferry





I threw this one in cause I love how the green plays off of Ryanne's hair and pink shirt and cause well......I love Ryanne. :)

Morgan gets props for the best water fountain shot. Oh and I love her too! ;)



Right outside our bedroom in winter



A beautiful day in San Francisco and a beautiful day to be on that ferry under the bridge!



Sometimes I will get sad that we don't get a white Christmas here. But then as I sit on my back patio I am quickly reminded of the beauty we have here in the winter. How God weaves his hand through the sky and changes the painting before my very eyes. Mmmmm.....it's good.
Happy New Year! Blessed 2012! Thank you for letting me share what I saw this past year. I look forward to taking more soon and posting.

Great pictures my friend :-) Photography does not exist in the best equipment or the latest software.... I've always said my favorite photos are the ones that move my soul :-) ^~If a photo makes you smile then you have done a good job :-)
