FALL IS NEAR ? and we are definitely starting to feel it.

This morning Micah sat on the porch waiting on his Ganny and Papa to pick him up for church! His excitement for Jesus and church truly warms my heart! Y’all see the ? mic in his hand looking like he’s going to deliver the sermon?

Our dog Henry took awhile to get to know our Grandson Jack. Jack was very gentle and patiently waiting for Henry’s approval!! It finally happened!!❤️

It always a good day to spend with friends.

Golden hour at 1,000 steps beach in Laguna Beach, California. Show on Portra 400 with the Pentax 6x7 and the 105mm f2.4. 

We went to pumpkin patch!

There’s nothing quite like the first rays of morning as they kiss changing leaves of fall. I struggled to get to this point - I wanted nothing more than to head home on Friday night after a long first week back to teaching. Tears were shed as I drove three hours to my campsite, parked my car, ate a PB&J, and wrapped myself in several blankets before drifting off to a chilly sleep.

I woke up at 4AM to snag a parking spot at the trail head and started hiking; I sat on the summit of Mt. Jo wrapped in blankets to fight off the 24 degree morning. It was all worth it for this stunning view of the MacIntyre Range to start my hiking day! 

During the first week of Covid-19 Quarantine, my good friend @EricSorenson and I couldn’t resist seeing what our city looked like with everything shut down. We set out on our bicycles and explored our new Ghost Town. We biked up and down major avenues as if we owned them. Avenues that would be impossible to bike down on a normal day. It was a unique and eerier feeling to see our city become so desolate.

I’m a happy happy boy!

Embracing all the fall activities this year!

It was a fun little day trip together to Bearizona in Williams, AZ to get out of the heat of Phoenix AZ.

   My friend Alex and I climbed to the Castle Rock summit at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks, Upstate NY. I captured the moment he viewed the beautiful Fall Foliage surrounding the valley. It was definitely worth the hike! 

Time flies while you’re busy turning moments into memories. You don’t notice how beautiful a moment was until all you have left is a photo of the memory. 

As we were getting ready to leave the picnic the sun's rays came out from the clouds in the distance and I wanted to capture a few more candids. This is how I got this shot. The colour scheme could not have been more perfect!

I’m from Banff Alberta, and I took my mom to Bankhead for the first time on my last day with her before I went back to school. There are coal carts there and I climbed inside one not realizing my mom took a photo.

The photo of me was taken somewhere in a field in Transylvania by my friend Irina, using my film camera, an Olympus AF10 and a Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

Fall is almost here and I can hardly wait. By far the best season and the photos never disappoint.

Someone is pumped for all things fall / halloween 

Visiting our first pumpkin patch of this Autumn when driving across the UK on our two week road trip.

But what I love most of all about fall is hanging with my pumpkin ??

I’m batty for you! ?? 

Bear is dressed as a bat for spooky season this year. 

Perfect pictures don’t exist but perfect moments do. I’ve never felt more complete and I’m starting to realize this warm feeling from these special moments we get to spend together are way more worth a perfect photo. And truthfully this is my perfect photo. There’s more to love than likes.

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love matching family pics ?

I think it might be better I stick to jack-o-lanterns. Bucky thinks so too! He sure enjoyed some of the pumpkin scraps while we carved it, too!

Today was “Dress up like a Doctor” day at their preschool.
I knew everyone would dress their children in the traditional doctor scrubs etc.
So I decided to dress them up as Veterinarian Doctors.

Aren’t they just the cutest?

Halloween last year, Boulder and Harley as ET and Elliott dress up. 

Dressing up for Halloween is our favorite & what better costume than a bunch of princesses?! 

Loving sisters celebrating spooky season. 

Clark and Buddy, brothers that love to dress up! 

It’s spooky season! Happy Halloween!
