I just got back from a week-long trip to San Diego, California and while we were there we visited Disneyland. I took this shot while we were waiting in line for the train and I couldn't get enough of the little girl with the pink Converse, plaid shorts, and a rainbow tu tu with matching wings.
By the time I made it to Disneyland and California Adventure I was 16 or older. I know, sad right? I believe that Disneyland is great for all ages, in fact that is who Walt Disney had in mind when he built it, but you can't change the magical qualities it holds when you're little and the castle seems so big! I think that everyone should get to experience Disneyland when they are 6 or 7, before it loses some of it's magic. My Dad believes otherwise, that you can't really appreciate all the theming until you're an adult. As he says, "Disneyland is for adults." I guess everyone has their opinions, but this is evidence of why it took my Dad 67 years to get there.
i recently spent a week in St. George and we passed this field every day. i love the red rocks and the wheat... so here's one of my favorite shots from the trip.

no, the beam of light is not part of the painting; it's the sun! (and the son). i thought this was a great moment and it reminded me of some the paintings i have learned about in art history classes. some are placed in cathedrals, or churches, so that the sun shines in on them at just the right angle, kind of like this shot. i think it adds a lot to the painting.
when i was younger and living at home my family and i would go on hikes and my dad would point out the wild flowers and and tell us the name of each one. since then this has been one of my favorite kinds. it's called monkshood and it usually grows around water. this picture was taken last summer at brighton camp. i searched for this flower on every hike i went on, and one day i found it right under my nose; it was in camp by the stream. love it!
