Turnups

Well, what can I say, I am way behind on my weekly posts. This is actually week 11 of school and I am very excited things are wrapping up. I am ready for a break. I have been working hard at work and school, so 3 weeks off school will feel like a mini vacation. Portfolio class has kept me photographing food, so here is the latest.

Wk5 Fall

Sweet Dumpling Squash

Honey Crisp Apples

Baby Pumpkin and Acorn Squash

I love the colors of fall. When the leaves start to change and you hear the crunch of leaves under your feet as you walk, there is almost nothing better. With the fall comes various varieties of squash and other fruits and vegetables that you can only find that special time of year. Fall also provides me natural backgrounds and props for my photographs.

Gatlinburg Week 4

Peek-a-Boo

SHARK!

I'm watching you!

Just Chilling

Jelly in a jar?

This summer the family vacation took us to Gatlinburg. To escape the heat in Gatlinburg we took a trip to the aquarium. The aquarium is always one of my favorite places to visit, I love looking at the fish and seeing all the bright colors.

Week 3 The Zoo

Life as a bear is pretty ruff.

Hmmm, what exactly is in my hand?

I've been a very bad bear:(

Feed Me!

Hide and Seek

HoHumn

What's out there?

More pictures from my trip back to Wisconsin. It was a great fall day and my sister, niece, and I decided to spend the day at the Milwaukee County Zoo. We saw it all, lions and tigers and bears oh my!

This week I am choosing to post my first non-food related photography. Nature photography is something that I really love, it is a great relaxation for me. Late September while I was in Northern Wisconsin I was able to kick back and photograph just for fun. While the colors were not at their peak during my visit I was able to find the occasional pocket of color. Although the last picture doesn't have a whole lot of color I really like how the slime in the water actually looks like sand on the beach.
