Random nature photos

I loved this tree. It gave off the best shadows. It also entertained my son who was sure that Chip n' Dale lived there. We had such a fun time in the back yard!

And so begin the holidays....

We had a nice but sad Thanksgiving. My dad was such a big presence so to not have him here on one of his favorite holidays truly sucked. At least we got to spend some time with our family (his family) and that always makes us feel closer to him.

For Thanksgiving weekend, my family and I went to Cape Cod or "the Cape" as we call it here in MA. It was great to get away with our son. They had some Christmas events going on in the area on Saturday. Unfortunately, we missed Santa's arrival but we did manage to see Mrs Claus. Jack was so excited. We also went to the tree lighting. It was so much fun. Here are some photos taken at Thanksgiving and our weekend away.

There's just a hint of color left. Winter is coming and I'm one of the few who is looking forward to it. Winter may be an inconvenience to many but I find it to be exciting (driving in a blizzard), peaceful (watching the snow fall) and fun (sledding and snowball fights)

I took this on our anniversary trip to Cape Cod (or "the Cape"as we call it here in New England). How gorgeous is this tree?

I have been bad about adding new photos to the blog. I've been so busy on the weekends with photo shoots and family time. It's so great to have the support of my family and friends with this new adventure. Many of my friends have let me take their holiday photos. Once I get them squared away, I'll post them. For now, here's a photo I took at a cemetery yesterday.

007

What a great day! I had a fun photo shoot with my friend and her family. I'm hoping to post some photos soon. Also, we were able to get out and see 007. Daniel Craig did a fantastic job!

Where the hell is Matt? 2012

I'd have to say this is my favorite of all the videos he's posted.

Jack and I got out there and voted today. He kept asking me if he could vote so I let him. His choices? Sam and Greg (the 2 yellow Wiggles) of course. Who did he pick? Although we love Sam, he went for Greg. It was a tough decision! Now mommy's decision wasn't so tough but I won't be getting into politics on this blog!

I was waiting for a family to arrive for a photo shoot yesterday morning. The water was so peaceful. It was very calming to sit there and wait with this beautiful view.

There aren't many trees left that are still changing color. This one is especially gorgeous, changing from green to yellow to red.

Here is a video made by my incredibly talented nephew. Check it out!
