Road Trip! Part Five

-
...such a fine sight to see!  They conveniently have a flatbed Ford parked there for posing purposes, so we grabbed some shots in Winslow, Arizona!







Next, we visited Arches National Park. We got up early for the timed entry and the parking lots were already mostly full when we drove through.  Amazing place, I can't wait to go back!











Phone home... in this light, this looks like a giant statue of E.T.!

We arrived in Denver and were treated to a nice breakfast in Morrison with my cousins and then a quick tour of Red Rocks Amphitheater.  What an amazing place!













Had a short visit with my late Mom's brother, my Uncle Jack.  He's 94!


I was able to visit with cousins on both sides of my family this trip, and I am so grateful for it! Next up: the family reunion on Dad's side to eulogize his last remaining sibling, his little sister, Irene.

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.

Road Trip! Part Seven: The Rocky Mountains

 The next couple of days were spent sightseeing in the Rockies with my favorite cousin, Melanie. One major highlight was a ride on the  Georgetown Loop Railroad .  The weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and the scenery was second to none. Click on one of the pictures to enlarge them into a filmstrip view. What a great ride!  I highly recommend it if you're ever in the Denver area. Next, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Cousin Melanie got a shot of a moose; I was too far away.  Great shot, Mel! This was mid-June.  It was fun to see snow and walk around on it, we don't get much here at the Oregon Coast! I put my mom's ashes in the creek in her hometown. I sure do miss her. Next up:  The Tetons!

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!
