Another awesome weekend!!

-
The weather was definitely here over the weekend. Friday it hit 76 in my backyard, so I took advantage and played hooky from the studio to mow and do some yard cleanup. It felt SO good. Friday night, my friend Bobby and I went to see Louie Anderson at the casino in Lincoln City. What a hoot. We had a great time.
Saturday, did the usual Weight Watchers meeting (down 34 pounds now, YES!!), had breakfast with my girlfriend Amber, then shot a wedding at a home in Seal Rock. It was a great time, and I'll post pics of that here tomorrow.

Sunday morning, my girlfriend Brooke loaded up her horse Mocha and stopped by and picked up Lucky and me for a beach ride. We went to the south jetty in Newport where there is an equestrian area, trails, dunes, all kinds of fun stuff.
A waterfall runs down onto the beach and into a driftwood pile.
Lucky and I watch Brooke work with Mocha. Watch and learn, Lucky... watch and learn.
What a photogenic pair...
The view from Lucky's back, looking north toward the jetty. I love the view from up there.

One of the neighborhood cats likes to come into Freckles' yard and torture her. So Miss F spends a lot of time staring out the glass door, with her paws crossed like this. What a dog. I'll be taking her to the beach today for some run time. I am also going to meet my half-sister and nephew from Missouri this week . What a trip. And, how exciting! Life is good.

Marshmallow farm?

On the way home from the Tillamook Forest Center last Sunday, Eric stopped the car so I could snap some shots of what looks like a farm that produces giant marshmallows. We watched the machine that wrapped these giant hay bales in white plastic. Why they do this, I don't know. To keep the hay fresh, perhaps? It is kinda fun to picture these things as giant marshmallows, tho.

I had the extreme pleasure of attending and capturing images at a very special wedding recently. I've known the family for some time, and always enjoy being around them, they are all just super nice folks. I did Karissa's Senior Portraits a couple of years ago, and we got some of the most awesome images... here is one of my favorites. And here is one of my favorite shots from the wedding. What a lovely couple! Congratulations, I wish you all the very best!

Road Trip! Part Eight: The Tetons

 From Denver, we headed up to Moran, Wyoming for a glimpse of the Tetons with their fresh layer of snow.  Here are some of the shots I got the day we arrived. We got up early the next morning and went horseback riding.  It was 23 degrees! What a blast!!   There's a magpie on the curb saying, "Good Morning!" Lots of horse's asses...  The horse ranch life... hot coffee, chewing tobacco and cigarettes, and lots of horses.  They have a herd of 130 horses and mules.  What fun!  Here is a link to the outfit we went with:   Grand Teton and Jackson Hole Horseback Riding - Teton Horseback Adventures This is Holly, the mare I rode. She really didn't like having her cinch tightened, but she was a really nice ride. And this is Little Snort and Margaret. Our lovely guide, Georgia.  She did a great job.  She HAS a great job! I loved riding Holly, she listened to me really well.  What a beautiful girl. Georgia took some shots of us ...
