My favorite photo is from an early morning adventure I took a few weeks ago. I am so fortunate to live in San Diego and I always get the most beautiful sunsets. I decided I needed to get one of the sunrise. I drove out to Harbor Island and got the most amazing picture of the sunrise right before it came up from behind the downtown skyline. The sky was a beautiful orange, the colors reflecting on the water and one lone fisherman's silhoutte. It was worth the early moring drive. I loved watching my city wake up!!!!

my recent favorite is of my kids acting goofy after we randomly stopped by an old painted brick wall one day. Shows exactly where we are right now. Thanks for the giveaways!

My current favorite photo is of myself and my 6-week old daughter. I'm kissing her chubby little cheek, while she is looking at the camera. Super cute! :D
I LOVE that camera bag, btw. :D

Shimelle's class sounds awesome!
My favorite photo is ... well, I actually have two. The first is from a trip home to my parents where I just walked around their yard and my father had an old trailer axle that had rusted just kind of sitting there. A nice sized spiderweb had formed on it, and while I hate spiders, I too the picture and with the sun's reflection, it looks oh-so-cool. The second picture is one of my cat outside smelling rose branches while standing in the midst of leaves on a sunny day.

I adore the photo of the luxurious lavender bush I took last Easter. It is one of many gorgeous plants in my dear Father-in-Law's garden. This gentle man has such a gift with growing things -- plants and children! His garden is a beautiful hodgepodge of plants he found, took home, cared for, and now thrive happily in his yard. He has 2 lavender bushes that would make an apothocary green with envy. He has about $1000.00 worth of perfect calla lillies growing here & there. He even has a happy little cactus tucked far enough away so the grandkids can't touch it with their hands, only their eyes.
To me, this photo of the lavender is a glimpse inside the heart of a beautiful man.

Mine is a photo that I took of our first son when he was 3 running down a long gravel road. He's almost 9 and it's still my fav I've taken. I just had another boy in Oct and had his photos prof taken and they are delicious! Those would be my fav that I have that I didn't take myself!

Right now, because I am wishing I could there with my friends and family, my favorite photo is a picture I took a couple of summers ago of Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. Its one of the geyser going off, not focusing on the top of the geyser but of the sheer energy of the water as it shoots high into the sky with a film of spray from the water returning back to the ground. Its my desktop. :)
