Another day in the mountains. Another day to bring along the camera. We ventured to a local lake, that is surrounded by a beautiful hiking trail.
As we made our way around the lake, I stopped to take pictures of things that struck my fancy. After all, it was my birthday and all.
If I can’t jump on a jet and head to Europe for a shopping trip on my big day, I may as well be able to take pictures of things I think are beautiful.
Yes. More pictures of this flower.
My name is Stefanie and I am addicted to taking pictures of flowers.
My oldest and my (current) youngest. I am one blessed mama.
Claire and the other little ones hit the beach. I would have, but I didn’t want to frighten the little children away in tears.
Years of avoiding the sun and laying off the treadmill makes for an… ahem, scary combination.
Asher, ready to pounce on an unsuspecting tadpole.
Making (or unmaking) sandcastles.
And what good is a day at the lake without some watermelon??
Happy 4th of July 🙂
