End Of The Season

Being on the floor coaching a meet with my kiddos is where I love to be, but when I get the chance to sit back and shoot instead I enjoy that too :) Made it to Regionals for a couple of the upper level boys today to cheer them on from the stands.  So proud of all of them!!  Here are a few fun shots from the meet :)

Onward and upward!! Great job to all my kiddos this season!!

Cheers :)

Sunshine And Beach Time

Quick trip to Ocean Beach

 to enjoy the sunshine and sand,

to breathe and relax.

It was just the afternoon I needed :)

Beautiful Day For A Hike

Spring is finally here, so outside is where I'll be!!

With all the rain we had over the weekend i figured the falls on the Ayer's Gap trail would be running nicely.  When my hiking friends couldn't make it last minute I decided to head out anyway since it's all I really wanted to do today and this way I wouldn't make everyone else crazy taking so long taking pictures. 

Off I went up the gap and along the trail I stumbled upon something unexpected.  It would seem I have a strange talent for finding things when I'm hiking this trail.  In March of 2012 while I was shooting at the look out I found a box.  Of course curiosity got the best of me so I opened it to discover it was one of those sharing boxes.  Hikers come and date a book and trade out the random items in the box.

Well today I looked for the box on the look out but couldn't find it.  Instead I found something else along the path.

See it?

There it is, tucked into a tree, a letter box.  I remember doing these things with my family years ago.  There's a stamp and some random things, and you sign and date the little book inside.  It was quite the unexpected find, but a pleasant detour.

It really was a perfect day for a hike.  About 40 degrees, sunshine, a nice breeze, and the quiet woods :) You never know what you'll see.

Like the faces in the trees.  I loved these :)

The downpour from a few days ago made for some nice shots at the falls

But it did turn the second half of the trail into a river . . . 

Yes, that's the walking path . . . Oh well, it kept things interesting.

Excited for spring and getting out shooting more!!

Cheers :)

March . . .

After looking back at the month of March and seeing how few pictures I took, I think that may explain some of my anxiety and stress issues I had to deal with all month.  Definitely need to do a LOT more shooting in April!!

Looking forward to spring and getting outside!!

Cheers :)
