Relay for Life

-
The American Cancer Society's Newport Relay for Life is this weekend at Newport High School. Last night the Oregon Coast Aquarium hosted the annual Survivor's Celebration, and it was again a great success. Lots of people come together to make this an awesome event, and here are a few of them.
Jennifer Locklear, Surivor's Committee Chair. Way to go, Jenn!
Her husband Morgan, the MC. He always does a great job!
Cora Bray and Mike Cooper, Event Chairs. They really put in a lot of hours on this entire event - all year long.

Jenn and Morgan enjoying a break with a friend.
Sandra Kittel works the crowd at the registration desk.
Lyle Mattson flashes me a great smile.
Jenny signs up and recieves her Survivor packet.
Irene and her friend check out the crowd.
A couple of happy attendees give me a nice pose.
And we had free run of the Aquarium exhibits, my favorite part! Saw some very beautiful creatures...
And a few strange ones... ;)
Relay for Life kicks off with the Survivor's Lap at 6:00 Friday night, July 31, and runs until noon on Saturday, August 1. The luminaria ceremony will be at 10 p.m. on Friday night... this is a sight not to be missed!
See you there!

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 ...
