Witchfest

After a short wagon ride to Swampy Creek Hollow we were greeted by a witch with a little bit of attitude.

She loved disco and proceeded to teach us a few moves of her own.

Thankfully the good witch Gwendolyn rescued us from the dance floor,

to lead us in a song of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."

We made it safely back to Gardner Village where this little witch got to have some glitter of her own.

Witchfest was a success with the first timers to our tradition,

the family that likes to have annual traditions,

and a mother and daughter that love to get out with all the girls.

I can't think of a better way to spend a girls day with my family.

Fall time

I LOVE fall, and especially the colors we have had here this year.

There's something about the golden glow of fall that just makes me happy.

I little dose of fall football action,

and the experience of this change of season feels complete.

How I wish these golden rays would continue to shine for another two or three months.

Now it will be another full year until my annual fall color drive with my parents.

Wedding Day

The day finally arrived for my oldest nephew to be married. It was a gorgeous fall day and while waiting outside of this beautiful building for the happy couple to emerge I decided to practice with my self timer and got this shot of me & Bob.

My family had gathered around the main entrance and Payton was so excited to see her uncle and new aunt.

Now husband and wife they look so happy.

There seemed to be a lot of this going on that day.

A priceless shot of a bride who has a sense of humor while pictures galore are being taken.

My brother practicing to be a grandpa one day. I'm suppose to email this picture to his daughters but hopefully they'll get the point if they read this post.

The bond of second cousins seems to be forming just as strong as the first set of cousins.

That happy glow continued for this couple all through the day to the reception that evening.

This little guy always has such a happy grin on his face.

Even though I managed to ruin this shot of sisters, it's still a cute picture if you can overlook the blur factor!

A father and son,

a grandpa and grandson,

and a groom and sister; it's all about family support on this special day.

This seems to be a perfect ending to their perfect day.

Snapshots of a Good Life

I started off scrapbooking and then my interest quickly turned to wanting better pictures. Once I took Karen Russell's online photography class I was hooked. I no longer use the "auto" on my dial and understand how to achieve the best shot. Karen is a great teacher and you will learn so much. I highly recommend anyone to take her class, it changed my life.
