I Need Your Help!

As the title says, I need your help! I was thinking that I desperately need a new title for my blog...I know you all agree. Because I love photography, and I usually only post pictures, I thought I should give it a "photographyish"/"cameraish" name.

But as you can see, I am NOT good at making up names/titles, so therefore I am asking for your help in thinking some up. I would love to hear what you think...:) And, who knows, the title you thought up might just be the one I really like!

This past Saturday I was able to help Mom take pictures for a wedding. It was pretty neat being the "assistant photographer". I had fun taking pictures on the side:). Here is a picture of one that I took (since I wasn't the main photographer I tried to get pictures that Mom wouldn't have time to get, so I got many of the flowers).

Blue

Since blue is such a pretty color, I thought I'd go around the house and take a picture of all the blue things that I could find.

The first thing I saw was this blue vase in the kitchen

After taking the picture of the vase Mom pointed out that there was a blue jay outside, so I took a picture because, of course, a blue jay is BLUE too!

A card we got in the mail a few days ago :)

Books are wonderful aren't they??? Especially when they're blue!

Water bottle

Some things I found on my desk. My notebook, bracelet, flashlight and pen

Pottery that holds a votive candle

And a candle

Binder Zoo

On Tuesday we went to Binder Zoo...here's some pictures of some of the amazing creatures that God made!!!A handsome peacock showing off in front of one of the females.

We got as many people on and in the car that we could!

The giraffes amazing, long, blue tongue.

Look at the perfect stripes on the zebra!

A close up of the giraffes spots.
We were able to feed and pet the giraffes...it was so fun to see the kids so excited!
There were three babies born this year. Here are two of them.

Lydia and I stayed together pretty much the whole day.

The wolves were beautiful!

A close up of one of the peacocks. I love the deep blue...and the feathers coming off its head are very interesting.

Aren't God's creatures beautiful, unique and just simply amazing!?

Kal-Haven Trail (Bike Hike)

Saturday we packed up our bikes and set out to the Kal-Haven trail. We went with several families from church and spent the afternoon riding our bikes down the trail, and then came back to eat a potluck supper. We were all (well, all but the younger kids...they have so much energy!) very tired and ready to eat after riding for about 3 and half hours.

Me, Sarah and Lydia before we started.

The girls (most anyway)

Dad on the trail. The trail used to be a railroad bed. Now it works great for biking because it is so flat. :)

The kids having fun after they got back from riding. :)

Em and I after our ride. We were very tired. :)

The kids, again having fun with anything they can find.

Betsy and Bonnie (notice their matching Inca Cola shirts from Peru)

I loved the sheet we were sitting on so, I took a picture of it. :)
