Busy time of year...

Well, fall is upon us, I haven't posted here in what seems ages, I have been very busy with another one of my blogs though http://cyndieplanck.blogspot.com/ check out some of my recent photography there if you like.

School is in full swing, I am back to work part time, and the days are getting shorter. All of us here are suffering from the back to school cold/virus. Not fun so I have been hanging low for a little spell. We are 2 weeks into it, and just starting to get back up to normal speed.

Last weekend we went with a friends car club around Oregon's wine country, it was a great drive, and we had a lot of fun, there are photos on my digitalalterations blog, so I will just post a photo here of miss Milly, Hope to be back here soon and posting up a storm again!

Just checking in ...

Hello all, just checking in, time flies once I go back to work and Emily hits school! No photos today, but check out my digitalalterations blog, lots there if you haven't been. We should be taking some shots this weekend, so check back soon!

Back to school

Today was back to school for Emily, her very first day of kinder! She was so excited, we got to the parking lot and she says "this is the moment I have been waiting for!" Mom handled it well too, and of course took a few photos...

This morning we had to take a quick photograph of Emily's tomato plant she got last year from a field trip in miss Carie's class so she could show her how big it has grown. It started out this spring about 3 inches tall.

This is the "Mommy, stop taking pictures, lets go, I wanna go, lets goooooooooo..." look.

Outside the school on the way in for the first moments....

Emily in her class, she couldn't walk me to the door to leave fast enough!

Saturday afternoon fun

Yesterday we hit the saturday market in town, which was a kinda "been there done that" for me, since I just shot there a couple of weeks ago, the light was terrible, midafternoon, and most everything was undercover of shade. I did find these little bears I quite liked..

Then we were off to Washington, over to a friends house to pick blackberries... We never did get to the berry picking as Emily reminded us on the way home, evidentally she had really been looking forward to it, oops, but everyone had a lot of fun, here's a few shots of the "kids" on the bikes....






Here's a couple shots of "Chloe" that I took while visiting...
