Getting Ready To Go

I have been busy getting ready for our road trip back to our home state of Minnesota. I am not sure how long we will stay but it will be at least a month. I have a lot of friends and family to see while I am there. I am hoping to have time to go out shooting with my Photo Buddies.
Not to blow my own horn but I finally won a #1 award for 2 of my photos on Pixoto! I am really proud and grateful for all the support I am getting. Check out my top shots at the link below:

Crater Lake National Park

Once again this Blog is really late. I have been busy with my vacation travel business as well as working on taxes. Real life gets in the way of things I want to do like Blogging and Photography.

If you are looking at somewhere cool to go this summer then this link is for you. It shows some beautiful pictures of Crater Lake in Oregon. We were there a few years ago and we really loved it. Be sure to wear sun screen & bring bug spray.
