Birthday/Christmas

So this year I've put together a little list... a shopping list. FULL of suggestions! haha :) Just thought I'd share!!!! hahahahahaha :)

OK, I have a proposal for you...

Do you like my pics?  Would you like to see more of my work at a higher quality?   

I'm preparing to purchase this camera, the Canon 50D.   I'm expecting total cost to run around $2,500.00 (including a new lens).  In order to purchase this camera, I'm asking for donations to help defer the cost.

In return for your donation of $25.00 or more, I will either provide you with a print of one of my favorite macro photos, or if you are local, I will do a mini portrait shoot for you so you can have a sweet pic of yourself.  The choice is yours.  :)

Just think of your donation as a down payment on years of photographic enjoyment!  Thanks for your help.

If you need my mailing address, or any other information in order to donate, please send me an email, or leave a comment on this blog post.  Either way, I will get in touch with you.  

Great Falls

Today I went to Great Falls... I've been there before - you can see it here...  I love taking pictures there!  Here are some fun shots:

You know me an lil' birdies... here is a cute lil' grey egret.

George Mason

My parents came to town this weekend. We had a nice relaxing day yesterday and a fun night out last night! We went to Marrakesh in DC... I've posted about it many times in the past, but this was the first time any of my family had been there. Dinner was great! :) I think everyone had a good time!! After dinner we went to walk around Jefferson's Memorial (seriously my FAVE at night!!!). It couldn' have been a more beautiful night!!!!!! :) I don't have time this morning to post more pictres (I gotta meet mom and dad and the bros for church) but here are two just for a taste...


Here is my brother George and George Mason :) There is a memorial to George Mason right next to Jefferson's. George Mason's memorial is kinda cool... it is set up with a garden and fountain area modled after Gunston Hall. Kinda cool. I didn't realize Mason was so into gardening! :)



Here is Mason and me! :) (Side note -  you can check out my new haircut... chopped it all off!!!! :) Whaddya think?)

Today I think mom and dad and I are headed to Mt. Vernon.  My pops has wanted to check out Mt. V for a long time now.  The weather is supposed to be AMAZING again, so it will be the perfect day!  I'm sure there will be lots of pictures of that posted soon!!!!!  :)

Ok, off to church!!!

Look how pretty! I couldn't get the whole rainbow in the pic... It was a full arc!!!! I tried to find the pot o gold too! I couldn't find it even though i looked!!!!=

Getting closer!! : )=
