Where do I start?

After not posting for over a month, I hardly know where to start.

I could tell you about fishing in Foremost. Bianca took a lot of beautiful pictures there but only a few of fish, since we only caught three that evening. I’ll share some with you now…

Or I could tell you about our trip to NM for a family reunion. That is almost enough for a blog post or two but I’ll start anyway.

Camping on the way there was a wonderful way to have family time and enjoy nature at the same time. The first night we slept in Great Falls KOA. We got a nice tenting site on the edge of the campground and had an enjoyable time there. Even though we were on the edge of the campground we got to experience some wildlife there. First it was a rattlesnake that showed up while we were at the water park. Then it was two raccoons that helped themselves to our crackers during the night. (We had to learn to camp in bear country yet.)

Typical little boy. I love the shot!

Imelda’s shot. It’s one of my absolute favourites.

This slide was lots of fun even for ‘big’ girls. 😉

Can’t miss his favourite colour in this shot!

“Where does our stuff belong?”

The next day, we headed through some mountains to Yellowstone National Park.

Rivers, Mountains, and Railroad Tracks.

Here we spent two nights camping and three days enjoying the revelation of God’s creativity and beauty.

You don’t even need a slow shutter speed to get the ‘whipped cream effect’ here. The hot springs were quite interesting and they didn’t even smell bad.

Stepping stones.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of waterfalls. Experimenting with shutter speeds was quite a thriller.

Notice the aforementioned ‘whipped cream effect’? (I didn’t use the recommended tripod which accounts for the blurriness in the rest of the photo.)

One of the highlights of our time in Yellowstone. We spotted a grizzly bear but it was quite far away and only a few of us spotted it.

Check back soon for more pictures from Yellowstone!
