Abigail

For those of you who haven't seen, My Wonderful Wife, Abbey, has opened up an Etsy Shop to share her artistic creations with everyone. You can go to it HERE or by copy and pasting this url: lovesgarden.etsy.com She has some really fantastic items, which I have been fortunate enough to do the photography for. This is a snapshot of an item in the process of being packed for shipping!

This was a Kitchen Towel that Abbey had in her Etsy shop. It sold on the first night! If you haven't already, please be sure to visit her shop at www.lovesgarden.etsy.com

Road Trip West Day 2 (Grand Canyon Day 1)

So we arrived at the Grand Canyon the first night of our trip. It was dark and we set up camp. In the morning (day 2) we took our time getting up and had a filling breakfast. We headed out to see this thing... We decided Day 1 would be where we take the free shuttle system to all of hte points of interest and do all the tourist type stuff.

Here's Abbey on a ride overlooking the Grand Canyon!

The whole reason this is here, the Colorado River :)

A picture of the two of us.

It's really hard to show the enormity of this. If you haven't been there, get there ASAP. It's like the biggest thing I've EVER seen, period.

Our view from when we saw it for the first time. Ab and I decided to walk up to the first viewpoint with our heads down. Once we got to the railing, we counted to three and looked up. It was like a fake backdrop before us, the contrast of the ground to the grand canyon was fantastic. Absolutely amazing. Thanks to Tax Payers everywhere for preserving this amazing place!

Happy Birthday Abbey!

So I'm refraining from posting ANOTHER picture of a flower, especially since the flower picture I wanted to post is a Passion Flower. Abbey turned 25 today, Happy Birthday Ab. For the first time in my life, I got to witness a flower bloom. It lasted about 10 minutes, and in those minutes I watched each intricate part of the flower open up right before my eyes. It was beautiful and I enjoyed taking about 30 pictures of this process. Instead of those, I chose a couple from our adventures today. We took a hike near Helen Hunt Falls, above it to the 'Silver Falls' where I found this little pool of water that was above the falls. The other picture is of a tree root that was growing out of the ground and had incredible detail and markings.
