Virginia

Nelson and I went to Virginia recently to visit some family. Mike and Meg are always wonderful to visit, and it was great to meet Maggie and see how grown up Gwyn was! Maggie was born last April, and boy! Is she a happy girl! Gwyn was about 4 and a half, and the last time we saw her she was almost three, so she had sure grown up a lot in that time frame! It was a wonderful visit and I took some pictures of the girls while I was down there.


Here's Maggie:

Here's Gwyn, sitting nonchalantly at her picnic table.

So precious!

Maggie.

 If babies could look pensive, I think they would look like this:

Maggie makes the cutest faces!!

She's always smiling!

Gwyn at the beach with her dad and the dogs. She loves dogs.

Maggie, all smiles of course.

So Gwyn's favourite cartoon is Thundercats. She's really into the old-school version, not the remake that they've done recently. Her favourite character is Cheetarah. She loves loves Cheetarah. As much as she loves Cheetarah, she also loves pink. I'll give you one guess to the inspiration for this outfit:

Such an expressive baby!

Middlebury

I recently got a new camera for Christmas/my birthday. They're both pretty close to each other, so we combined them this year. :)

I really love my new camera! So many new things to get used to!

Naturally, I went out around Middlebury to begin fiddling around with the settings and taking test shots. Here are some of them!

I love the contrast of the vibrant red again the stark winter colours.

Thanksgiving

I am so far behind the times. I am still catching up on photos I took in November .... yeesh!

So for Thanksgiving, my husband and I went down to Connecticut to celebrate with him family. We stayed with his Grandmother and spent Thanksgiving afternoon and night with his Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. It was a fantastic time. We went to Hammonasset State Park while we were there and I took pictures of the sunset again.

This is a picture of one of the buildings on the beach, before you actually get to the beach. It is a puddle and the building. I love taking pictures of puddles.

It was definitely reminiscent of a wintry sunset.

A couple of people were out walking their dog.

Pretty clouds...

This is one of my favourites...

Nelson and I...

Another one of my favourites...

I love how the pink sky is absorbed into everything.

Beautiful colours...
