Bobbie's Ear

I was trying to figure out what to take a picture of for this weeks photo challenge and since Bobbie was sittling in my lap and my macro lens and flash already on my camera this is what I got.

Tulip Festival

Heather and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving point yesterday and for the most part it was a big dissapointment. I was expecting huge fields of tulips everywhere, but only found tulips in flower beds along side of walking paths. I guess I had envisioned Holland or something when they had advertised it as a "Tulip Festival", but nonetheless, we took some pictures and here are a few of them. We probably would have found more tulips at temple square, but now we know.

Spring

I love spring when everything starts to bloom. Who knew that using the macro lens would make a simple leaf bud on a tree look like a flower bud. Amazing what details you can see when you have a little help from the camera.

Tribute to Elder James V. Baker

This video is of my nephew who is serving his mission in Hallifax, Canada. These are pictures taken by him or his family and compiled by me into this movie. I am so proud of him for having the desire to serve this mission. He made many personal sacrificies to do this and I have never seen anyone who wanted to do this more than he did. My favorite picture is of him in mid air in front of the Provo Temple. It is so typical of his fun loving way of living life to the fullest! Love you James, keep up the good work!

Video of Cute Tayla

Up Close - Old and New Hands

Tayla's and Grandma's hands - we spent the afternoon with Diane and Tayla yesterday and took some pictures of her after. She is getting to the point where she can almost sit up by herself, and she just laughs and giggles. She is so CUTE!

At Your Feet

This week, when we went down to Provo to see Jordan sing his solo and Choir Concert (which he did a terrific job on, by the way) I thought about Leah and Angie and their dancing feet. So we had them put their shoes on and I took some pictures. I had trouble picking just one so I did a collage of them.
Ever since I first bought Leah her first pair of tights and ballet skirt when she was all of three years old, she has been deeply involved in ballet and now teaches it with the help of Angie as her assistant. I think the feet of a ballerina are a beautiful thing and am glad I may have played a small part in helping Leah and subsequently Angie develop such a talent and love for this art.
