Stanley, Idaho!

I am a pretty fortunate person!

I got to spend a long, lovely weekend in the mountains of Central Idaho with my hubby...kayaking on glass, photographing nature's beauty, lingering in the solitude of hidden lakes...oh, and hanging out with the locals at the Fireman's Ball at Redfish Lodge! We got carried away at the silent auction, but, it was for a really great cause! Gotta support those fireman who are preserving our beautiful lands!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the weekend! Beauty surrounds...on...

...and off the water...

These two beautiful children stopped by yesterday...oh, and what a wonderful big brother!

For Allison

Your kitty says HI!

So, the circus came to town today....well, sort of...!

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus stopped in town today...but not for a performance...


...just a pachyderm pitstop!


ELEPHANTS!


Eleven of them! It was quite a sight!
They simply hung out for awhile, an hour or so, while their cars were being spruced up...ate a little, covered themselves in dirt and weeds to cool off, one of them even took a little nap!


Then, they were escorted back to their train car...trunks holding tails!


Here, they lined up, got a little drink from a hose...and then...


...one by one, they boarded...into what seemed an impossibly small doorway for such large animals!


Until the final one loaded up...and they were on their way...to Salt Lake City, to perform at the Energy Solutions Arena, Thursday through Sunday!

Hi all!

I've had a Facebook page for awhile now...and I have just updated it to include a business page...where I will update my schedule, new promotions, etc.
If you have a Facebook, make sure you are my "Fan" so you can be the first to receive notifications of special events! If you don't have a Facebook...well, you should get one! :)

The current promo....a FREE SESSION...to the first senior from the class of 2010 who comments on my "ad"! This is a $100 deal! But only good to the 1st one!!! So hurry!

Baby Joey!

I'm in the process of cleaning out picture files, updating my webpage (http://www.heartandsoulimages.net/) and Mike's webpage (http://www.mikeryanphoto.com/) ...and I came across this cute image! This is Joey! Joey was a Christmas present to my brother-in-law, Mark! He weighs about 140 pounds now...is taller than most Pyrenees'...and, from what I understand, is a complete menace...! But, oh my goodness, how could you not love this face!! Hi Joey! :)
