Got to go to the Badlands National Park, really great place! The weather was perfect for a little shooting, lots of clouds and just the right lighting. It was a little cold and despite dodging the rainstorms, we had quite a bit of fun. One thing I learned about this area is that you have to be careful where you step when the ground is wet, the dirt here sticks to your shoes like hot gum in a parking lot and weighs a ton!

One evening just before sunset with stormy skies, we spent some time driving around the Badlands National Park. It’s a pretty nice park with some amazing colors and gorgeous scenery even though it is kind of in the middle of nowhere, it was really better than we expected.

An old vine covered shack in Cardin, OK. This town is currentyl being bought out by the govt. and torn down due to a large mining related environmental disaster.

Very interesting rocks on Beaver Lake in Northwest Arkansas. They kind of remind me of dinosaur bones.

Had a photo-shoot last night with a bunch of flowers. Thanks to Wendy Dunn for setting it all up, had lots of fun and got some pretty nice shots…. (at least I think so

We went on a little hike in Glacier National Park to see a waterfall and found this little meadow full of wildflowers along the way. It was so beautiful we had to just stop and take it in for a while.

Went to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, OK to do a little Jellyfishing… It’s a pretty nice aquarium to visit. The kids had lots of fun touching the rays and little sharks.

We’re all just cogs on a big wheel that is being spun by the belt of life…Had to put a new belt on our grinding machine…. Really surprised that the first one lasted almost ten years!

This old shack is nearly lost to the world. It’s in a state of disrepair and slated for destruction. A little spooky and forelorne.
