Sneak Peek: Vacation Pictures

We are back. It was beautiful, snowy morning when we drove down the mountain, on our way home. The snowiest day that we had seen, which made it bittersweet to leave. We were thrilled to see the kids, and each of them provided heartwarming smiles and squeals when we saw them.

I have a big post coming, with many, many more pics, but it may take me a few days to get everything reorganized and my thoughts gathered. In the meantime, enjoy these few. I promise there are MANY more where these came from.

Mountain Photography: 101

In our quest for breathtaking mountain views (and free internet) we found a place to pull over on the side of the road, hoping to enjoy God's amazing creation and each other's company.

We decided it would be a perfect place for a photo opp, and instead of the regular camera-at-arms-length self portrait, we thought we'd try to prop the camera on top of the car. It is with our new self photography skills that we offer you the following photography tips, incase you're ever in need.

Tip #1) Ensure that the camera is zoomed all the way out, before you take your first picture:


Tip # 2) While recovering from hysterical laughter after viewing the previously pictured...er, picture, make sure that you remember to RE-set the self timer.


Tip #3) Get the zoom right, and even though you can see the hood of the car, realize that this is as good as it's gonna get.

Tip #4) Realize that the beauty of God's magnificent creation is the best subject on which to focus the camera.
