Calendar pictures

It's been a while since I posted anything. Things have been busy at work, but that doesn't really matter since I need to catch up. So today I finally ordered a first 2012 calendar and want to share some of the images with you. We called it "The year in retrospect"

If you recall, the hummingbirds at our house, built their nest on the wire of our hummingbird wind chimes. This little one, must really like Christmas, since she built her nest on Christmas lights in our neighbors carport!

Alvin captured this on his daily walk. This and several of the other flowers below are from around the neighborhood.

These two pink flowers were AMAZING!! the blooms were 8" - 9" across and so beautiful!

These were from the Desert Botanical Gardens in Arizona.

This was from our trip to Sedona and The Grand Canyon. I shot this view of the Grand Canyon through the roots of a tree.

This was a little surprise, growing in the Red Rocks of Sedona AZ.

This beautiful Yellow flower was what we chose for the cover.

So those are a few of the highlights of our year. It has been full of beauty and travel and fun and photography.

Glad we could share a little of ourselves you.

Happy Photography!!

Hummingbirds

We have a hummingbird wind chime hanging in the carport, and one day when Alvin was out in the yard, he kept getting buzzed by a hummingbird. He could'nt figure out what was going on, and then he noticed that a hummingbird had built her nest on the wire of the wind chimes!! The nest is only a couple of inches big, I tried to show that here.

She laid 2 eggs the first time, and once they start to grow, there is no room for her in the nest. They are not so cute when they are little.

but, very pretty when they grow up.

The same hummingbird came back and laid a second set of eggs, that same season.

Well this year, we think one of the babies that was born in the nest, came back and built a nest in the exact same place and had 2 chicks this year!

One is obviously much more developed than the other out of this pair, but they have already left the nest, I hope they both survive, and maybe we will get another set this year!! What fun!

Happy Photography!

Hello again

Spring is here and our cameras are out again in full force.  How is that for a little tease?

Before I start showing you what we have been shooting lately, let me go back to a previous subject.....We have been accused of not taking pictures of people, that is not true, and to show you a little of what we are capable of, here are some shots of:  a Wedding, Wedding invitation photos, and family photos.

The spring pics will be up soon.

So, we do take pictures of people, when the occassion arises. You will probably be seeing more of these types of pictures in the future.

Next post, will be some of our spring stuff. Until then, keep the camera ready at all times and Happy Photography!!!
