Mountain Biking at Emerald Lake Trail

It's been a busy August, lots and lots of pictures to upload.  Not so much going on with building the house, but what fun would it be if I left it at "we built a house and now it's done?"  That's not any fun!  What about building a great life here?  That's important too, right?!

Limei looks a little scared, but I promise you she is having a good time.

And working hard.

Really hard.

Really.  Really hard.

But still having fun.

Lots of fun.

Coming up on a technical spot.

Oh, and I was there too.

New Camera

Here's a shot I've always wanted to get, our porch at night, it's just magical.  My new camera has a setting for shutter speed and I got a tripod with it so I'm finally able to start experimenting with shots like  this.

Another angle.

One of my first macro shots with the new camera.  I'll do a whole post on flowers and the garden soon.

I had to take a road trip for a meeting the other day and I took the camera along for some fun.  This was taken out the window, across the driver, and going at highway speeds.

And then I zoomed in and got this shot :)

We had to turn around for this one.  Well, actually for the sign that you'll see at the end of this post, but I got this shot out of it.  I think it's the best one I got that day.

Yep, totally worth turning around for.
Wish I had had a tripod with me for an HDR shot though, this one most definitely needed it.
