Shots in the Dark

I decided to go out and take some pics tonight and some turned out ok, some are too dark but here are a few of the better ones.

Somethin New

I went somewhere new this weekend to take some pics. I think it turned out real good, hope you like.

This is by far one of the most interesting trees I've ever seen.


This is a close up of the blossoms on the tree. Cool, huh.

Who doesn't wanna see a waterfall?

A better view of what's surrounding the waterfall.

Just a pleasent view.

This is probably better than what I was living in while in Iraq. The view is certainly better.

After Iraq I really like seein plants.

Looks like a nice relaxin place to sit, doesn't it?

Same place, just a different view.

Now I know the bridges back home don't have a view like that.

Let's here it for bamboo.

Yes sir, that tree IS bigger than you.

Just for ol' times sake, I had to put in a pic of the sky. Besides it's a cool pic.

Uncatchable Beauty

Ok, so I went hicking today and I knew I'd see some good views, but after being in Iraq for so long the view was overwelming. Everywhere I looked I saw the beauty of nature. What made it worse was that I knew that even though I took over 120 pics I couldn't capture the beauty of what I was seeing, I couldn't show you what I saw. Trying to do so was liking trying to capture the ocean in a mason jar, it can't be done. All I've acomplished is showing you a few small, scattered pieces of a beautiful tapistry. Nonetheless I hope you enjoy these pictures. With this one I mostly liked the way the pine trees looked when mixed in with the other trees

I've seen several professional pics where they're in a lush green forest on a small path and I've always wanted to take one just like it, but this doesn't even come close.

There was something about watching the grass blow in the wind that caught my attention and I wanted a picture of it. It turned out better than I expected, mostly because of the variying shades of green in here and the way it fits so well together.

What can I say, I like mountains. They're so noble, majestic, dignified, humble, simple and yet still beautiful.

Not much to say about this one, but something about it caught my attention.

Play "Where is Waldo" with this one, there's someone hidden in this picture.

You might recognize this as a close up of a location I have a picture of in one of my first blogs.

It's a grand view

Look at how the branches reach up to the heavens.

Another failed attempt at the lush forrest path picture.

More mountains :)

Hope you enjoyed this feature presentation, please leave the theater in a calm orderly manor, taking any trash with you and have a good day, thank you. :D

Hawaii, I'm back!!!!!

Ok, so I got back to hawaii last Saturday and I've been looking forward to going to the beach again and takin pics and this week the beaches are closed to swimmers due to strong currents and big waves so this provided me with a good chance to do both. However I wasn't satisfied with the camera I had so I went out and bought the Nikon D60. I REALLY like it too. So I went to the beach today and took over 150 pics, these are some of the ones I liked the most.

Sunsets

Some of you may have noticed that I take ALOT of pictures of the sun. there is a reason for that. You see, each sunset is unique in it's own way, no 2 are the same way. So with each one I take I take it with soemthing different in the picture. if you don't like it, deal with it cause I'm going to keep doing what I like to do.

Reflection Of The Light

The Light of the Sun is in many ways like the Light of God. There are many reflections of it, there are many immitations of it and there are many that don't want to be around it for it is too bright to thier eyes.

But there is only one real sun in our lives just as there is only one real God in our lives. He is all knowing and all loving. His brightness is overwhelming for those who have lived thier lives in the dark. But his Light can guide us to eternal happiness, to a world we can't even dream of. If we will but follow him, this can all be ours.

Reflections of the Light

Nature Calls

I've always found there to be a vast simplicity to the beauty of nature. Something nothing else on eath can touch. for in nature we find the beauty of Gods hand. A beauty that nobody can replicate. For although we can plant a seed and help it grow, it is God's hand that makes it grow and no part of it is the same as another.

Shooting

Sam couldn't make up his mind on which side to shoot with, left or right. It's just like the way he was in bowling, any time he started to do good with one hand he would switch to the other.

You have to admire a girl that can shoot, there's something about it that's very impressive.

On this particular day we shot down a tree. Between her shots, mine, Sams, my moms and my dads we litterally shot down a tree. They found it very amusing because it wasn't till I was up near the tree that it decided to start falling. They thought I was too shocked to move because I was standing there looking at it as it began to fall. But in point of fact I was very aware of what was going on and what I should do, that's why I was standing there, I was waiting to see where it was going. Once I had figured that out I took one step to the right and watched it land right beside me.
