(Slacking, again) <br />
<br />
Over Memorial Day weekend we ventured to the<a href="http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?type=SPRK&id=426" target="_blank"> Porcupine Mountain</a>s, for a weekend of camping. We watched the weather for MONTHS, knowing it would change often. The very first time we checked it it said rain... which I did not want to deal with for 2 nights/3 days of camping. We kept an eye on it, it changed a number of times , even changes during the same week. It was nice, no rain and sun, back to some rain, on it went . It even changed the NIGHT BEFORE. Luckily, I grabbed more clothes for the kids before we left town (you never know in the U.P) because it ended up raining. The very 1st forecast back in March was right after all. We were wet and chilly for 1/2 a day and a night. IT sucked. I was about ready to throw in the towel on camping all together. Did I mention we didn't have any extra shoes? Fun stuff having to wear wet shoes the next day. So you live and you learn, right? The rest of the weekend was beautiful. I no feel hatred toward tenting it. <br />
I snapped a bunch of pictures so I will have a few blog entries! Lake Superior is up first because that was MY highlight of the trip.<br />

It was the perfect opportunity to snap some shots. We've been to the Wildlife Refuge before, a couple times, but there's always something neat to see. This time we saw tons of egrets, turtles and pelicans. We even saw flocks of pelicans coming in with their lunch! I wasn't prepared to snap one of those pictures. If I were a super awesome, serious wildlife photographer it'd be a great place to hang out around sunset.<br />
Like I said in one of my previous posts, I'm a tad rusty....<br />
I do want to enter another photo contest this year, so if you see a photo you think would be good to enter, let me know. I'm open to ideas. :D <br />

It is so aggravating. <br />
A couple weeks back, a beautiful cardinal pair was flying around my yard and landing on objects, making me think, "I should really get back into taking pictures."So I took out the camera for the 1st time in months (other than for Easter pics) to snap some photos. They aren't great, but I did it.<br />

I wish I could say that I was working on some big photography project, entering contests, or bettering my skills. Heck, I wish I could say I even took some photographs in the 4 months that I wasn't updating this blog. But, I can't say any of those things. I took a few pictures here and there, but nothing artistic, at least nothing special. Life took over, winter crept up. I didn't do much of anything to feed my soul. After some recent, not so great life events (personal and family things), I've decided to dust of my camera since it is 1 thing that feeds my soul. I hope to truly get back into taking more pictures and to grow my skills as a photographer.<br />
I hope my loyal followers will return to support my adventures!<br />

I am so glad my Aunt brought us to it, it was beautiful! I hope to some day return and venture farther than the bridge.<br />

I love to watch the pure joy on my children's faces when we are having a good time. It's so innocent and liberating. If only we could be this way as adults.<br />
If they see a puddle, they want to run through it and enjoy it. That's just what I let my son do on our trip to Duluth a couple months back. <br />

We didn't take my road trips this summer like we normally do. Our quick, spontaneous adventure to Duluth was really the only "trip" we took this year. We went to Duluth for the Day out with Thomas adventure for my older son.<br />
These photos aren't from the Day Out with Thomas part, so don't worry ;) , these are from inside the train. <br />

Not only am I behind, I haven't been taking many lately either.<br />
Anyway, these photos were taken at Beaver Creek Reserve, back in July. We went on a family outing to the butterfly house, which is always interesting.<br />

He was little hesitant at first but after a few minutes he dove in and enjoyed it. It was a little slow going, but a lot of fun to watch.<br />

around the sun are caused by cirrus clouds -- high altitude clouds that form
above 30,000 feet. Cirrus clouds form when water droplets condense around tiny
mineral particles in the air, then freeze. The clouds appear to form a ring

It is insane how fast the time went. As a teenager I always hated the saying "time flies" since back then time didn't fly. But it's true, it flies. So fast. This year with Cyrus was the quickest yet. He's now talking and walking. It doesn't seem like it was already 13 months ago that he made his appearance into this world. Seems like just yesterday he was a little, helpless newborn and now he's developing into his own little person.<br />
Here are some pictures I snapped on his Birthday (June 25th), I have yet to take "formal" ones.<br />
Stay tuned for the<i> Cake Smash</i> pictures! <br />

We didn't even know about it till a few weeks prior while I was taking a walk on the other side of the river and noticed a small waterfall. Eau Claire is full of surprises! <br />

There were a few of the trillium pictures that I really liked and couldn't decide from. About a week ago, I placed my order for my contest photos, and then last night I realized that TODAY at 4p was the deadline to have the photos in and I didn't even have my photos in my hand yet! (some contest want a digital and a hard copy) So, after some thinking today (who am I kidding, texting a couple people), I called the place and they said that my order never went through. SO, I almost just said forget it, that maybe this was my sign from God that I shouldn't enter this contest this year. But I decided to go with it anyway, I quickly uploaded the pictures to Walgreen's 1 hour photo. They turned out decent considering where it was. it's so hard to have a printed picture look as nice as it does on the computer. But, I was pretty satisfied with how they looked once I got them matted<br />
** fingers crossed!** I am kind of excited. <br />
<br />
Here is 1 of the photos I chose that didn't print so well. I was disappointed.<br />
( I don't want to post the actual photos I used, in case I shouldn't.)<br />

I make sure I have my camera, there are times it never comes out. But, the trip we made in April I made sure to snap some pictures since it was a nice Spring day and I hadn't been out in awhile.<br />

I really need to get back into the groove of posting regularly again. It's so easy to say, "I'll do it tomorrow"! Plus, now that we have our own home, I like to do yard work, etc. I have a few new photos to post though, so I better get to editing.<br />
These pictures are Spring at Perrot State Park, which is by the Mississippi in Trempealau, WI. We went there <a href="http://discoveryofd.blogspot.com/2013/07/perrot-state-park.html" target="_blank">2 years ago</a> in the summer, and spotted a campsite we wanted. So this year I made sure to make a reservation to get the site before anyone else (it's booked all summer long usually). It was the 2nd weekend of May and surprisingly the place was pretty full. It was a fun time and bonus, no bugs!<br />
I didn't want to snap too many of the landscape since I did that in my last Perrot State Park entry <a href="http://discoveryofd.blogspot.com/2013/07/perrot-state-park.html" target="_blank">(click here if you want to see those!)</a><br />

They also make me think of loved ones that are no longer with us, that maybe they're watching from the bird or are the bird. Hard to put what I mean into words.<br />
Anyway, I hope you don't get sick of all the bald eagle photos! <br />

I can FINALLY say it is Spring here in Wisconsin. I can't really complain too much though, our Winter wasn't horrible like the ones past. This is my favorite time of year. I love when the leaves start to come out, when the flowers bloom and the temps are almost perfect. <br />
I figured since it's been awhile (yikes), I'd start with some new stuff. These were taken TODAY. My first time just going out and shooting in awhile. I love flowers, but I find photographing them can be quite boring. Not taking the photo but once I look at it afterwards, so I try to do some different things while taking it. <br />
I want to enter some photo contests this year, one for a local place and I'd like to give the Lake Superior Magazine a try again. SO, if any of my photos I post catch your eye let me know, so I can put them into my consideration of submissions. :)<br />

The fabric is a shawl I've had for years. I believe either I or my mom bought it for me years ago. It's always made me think of Spain and Spanish culture.<br />

The time between Winter and Spring I think is ugly, and since my favorite thing to photograph is landscapes I haven't picked up the camera much lately. But, yesterday I felt creative and snapped a few different types of shots in the house.<br />

1st Set<br />
I didn't only take self portraits, I promise.<br />

Bald eagles love the area of Wisconsin by the Mississippi River. Until living here I've never seen so many bald eagles! I guess the U.P. is a tad too cold for more to live. I just love seeing them. They are so majestic and mysterious. They also make me think of loved ones that have passed on. </div>
