~ amazing creatures ~

I am missing my camera! I am so sad about the appointments that had to be cancelled and the photo opportunities I'm missing on these bright sunny days!

On the brighter side: I suppose the "free time" is giving me a chance to reflect on some of my favorite photo's...





I just love the movement of jellies! They float and flutter so gracefully. A calming, mesmerizing, beautiful grace.





There's a shrimp hiding in there somewhere. HA! Turned out to be a pretty neat looking picture.

This is an octopus. Look at the angry face he's making!

Ew! Roaches!

This picture makes my skin crawl. This tarantula was ginormous!

~ landscape by design ~

I love taking landscape photo's. Where I live the landscapes are beautiful no matter where you go.











My family down below...


This was the most amazing sunset I had ever seen in my life. My hubby dragged me to Crescent Beach for Valentines Day. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to go... but as you can see... it was breathtaking.
This sunset photo is unedited.

...this is a picture I took of MILLIONS of birds... flying in circle's and landing on the power lines. An amazing sight to see....




Vancouver BC on a beautiful day. My view from Stanley Park.

~ family bender ~

We took these photo's down in Tsawwassen. What a breezy freezy kinda day. It was sunny though... so that was a bonus!


The girls were so well behaved, they smiled so nicely while their poor little teeth chattered away.
CHEESE!

Mum and Dad... out on a limb...








This last photo is my favorite.

Thanks Bender's for being my first 'on location' family!

....a day in the life of...

Well it's not a secret that we are a 'get up and go' type of family... because there's six of us it's hard to decide what we do as a family. One thing is for sure though... we all LOVE the outdoors!! Here are a few pics of our adventure out to Redwood park the other day.
This is my little Madelyn. She is my craziest child so far. She jumps from the top stair to the floor and she walks along the edge of the couch. I'm hoping it won't last long ;)


This is Hailey. She USED to be my crazy child!! Either Madelyn is WAY crazier or Hailey's calmed with age. She is my little 'poser' (ha ha). She LOVES being in front of the camera... if she sees it out, she will literally dive in front of it.

 








This beautiful young lady is Brooklyn. She doesn't quite belong to me but we love her just the same.


This is my son Gabe. He's a mumma's boy (for now). His sense of humor exceeds him, and his personality is a nice change. Years of Barbies and Hair elastics, now playing with Cars and Dinosaurs, I LOVE how he growls at people (HA HA), my girls would never dream of it!


This is Keyrah. She is the oldest of the group. A first born leader. She's a little camera shy but likes being on the other end of the camera, that means she's taking after mum. She has a camera in her pocket and takes it EVERYWHERE. I'm proud that she takes such care when dealing with her sisters and her brother, it's tough being the oldest of four... something I know quite well.
