Just photos!

It is a busy 4th of July weekend. And I know few people read blogs on holiday weekends - so I thought I would just share some recent photos.

For a change - I actually have been doing some landscape photography. It is a nice change of pace. Something I used to do all the time, but something that has taken a backseat to my budding portrait photography pursuits.

I stopped out at our local lake for some photos between rainstorms. It was cold and cloudy, but the water looked so perfect and peaceful.

This week was the WORST for weather! Cold and constant rain. Yuck. But the upcoming week looks pretty good! I am definitely in need of some hot sun.

I also finally got out to a local waterfall!!!!

I was there only once before.....and that was before I was married (10 years ago!). It is a little bit of a hike down a fairly steep hill, and my Kallie was a bit nervous, but we were all happy once we got there. It is SO beautiful!!!

And, the cold cloudy day was actually pretty nice because it allowed me to slow the shutter quite a bit and get a nice smooth flow in the water. If I had a neutral density filter - it would have been absolutely perfect scenario. Maybe someday...

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!!!!
