Richardton Abby

Todd and I went to Belfield today, and on the way home we stopped at the Richardton Abby. All these years I've lived in North Dakota, I've never seen the Abby. Wow, quite the building! We went inside and I just had to sing the Lord's prayer while standing there admiring the building.  What acoustics!  Just as I finished, a priest walked in. Oh I hope I didn't do something wrong.  

Richardton Abby on a beautiful ND sunny day!! 50 degrees out!! on Feb 2! That's amazing.

I snapped this picture of the reflection on the fountain, if you look close the priest was just walking in the room. I hope it's not illegal to take a picture.  This is my favorite picture of the Day!!!!! by the way all I had with me was my little Sony Point and shoot, not bad for a P&S.

Can't get enough of this little one

Last night one of my best friends called to tell me that grand baby number 9 has arrived. Wow! Congrats!  Well, I don't have 9 grandchildren, but I do have one, and I just can't get enough of her (probably because she lives 7 hours away).  Someone asked me how my "Grandma Time" was, and I explained it as: eating a potato chip, you can't eat just one.  :-)

So here are my bragging rights of our little Kadence.

Gramma (me) got to give her a bath. Fun time splashing in the water!!

After my bath there's nothing better than my fingers. 

Love my Teddy

Gramma was messin' with her hair after her bath. Naughty Granmma!!

Kade and the Teddy we gave her when she was born

She was suppose to taking a nap, but this is how we found her, all happy and giggles in her crib. 

 This little knit outfit above was mine when I was a baby. Did I look that cute in it? 

 Her mommy told me the leopard print is out of style, but I don't anything can be out of style on Kadence. 

My favorite tee shirt. Guess who gave her that one?

 I think she's saying "Take me to Gramma's Now!!"

The Kadence thing. She doesn't suck her thumb, but she does her two middle fingers. LOL

Love you sweet Kadence!

Window

A friend told me she's doing this photo a day thing (she did it last year too) and she had just subscribed to something that will send her an inspiration of the day. Yesterday's inspiration was "Window". So here is my try on 'window'.  Didn't quite turn out like I imagined, but close.

Sun coming up in the porthole window at the farm.  The sun has been shining through the windows of this old house for over 103 years. Good to build your house on the rock (literally and figuratively) so it's still standing later to let the sunshine (sonshine) in.

quick shoot today

This morning I got a call from a young lady who wanted a portrait taken today. She's written a book and needed a picture for the bio on the back cover. So I meet with her at 1:30 and shot a few photos of her. I hope she likes them. 

I decided today another pocket wizard is a must on my wish list after several miss fires with my speed light.   It was getting pretty frustrating trying to find where the line of site was for the sensor.
