Tonight we went for a drive... a leisurely drive. We tooled around the Blair area then on Highway 30 by the Loess Hills in Iowa. We are looking for good Earthship territory. Okay, well I was staking out Earthship territory and Scott was tolerating my silliness.
We saw a doe and fawn, various red wing blackbirds, and other such birds.
It makes me wish more and more for a windfall or lottery so that I can buy the digital SLR I have been lusting over for months. I really want to get back in to photography. I have some very pretty pictures I took with a point and shoot in my teens and in France. I think I could have some masterpieces...and a damn good photoblog. :)
Well off to make lists for our upcoming trip to Colorado. I am going to try the post dating option on my blog so that I can provide you (Whoever you are) with my quick wit and amazing blogging skills *sarcasm* even while I am gone!
Peace

You got your skills from your Grandpa Osborn! Photography was his passion! The funny thing is he never realized that he loved to take pictures and he was damn good at it! My image of my father was getting out of the car at Mirror Lake in Wyoming, He got out his 35mm, started taking shots of the beautiful Teton Mountains, the lake, all of us! Grandma and Grandpa Lindley, Mom, and myself. (Just thinking of those wonderful times in my life want to make me cry) I had such a short time with my Dad and he was so special! Anyway, we all see the reflection of the mountains in the lake! It was one of those crystal clear day. Not a ripple in the water. But Dad is so ingrossed in taking pics he doesn't see the reflection. We all get back into the car to go to our next spot - whereever that might have been! But he hopes in the car! He takes one more look and he sees it! He gets the biggest Elmer Grin - hoppes back out of the car and takes about 100 more shots (of course he didn't take 100 but he took a lot). Anyway when vacation was over and he had those pics developed he had some of the best shots - they probably would have won a photography contest! He was also a great one for action shots! I think that is where Aunt Bee and myself also came from! You don't see me anymore without a camera in my hand! Thank God my husband knows how much I missed my 35mm and was not taking pics like I had in the past! So I was lucky enough to get on of those special SRL Digital Camera's And they take great shots! It was the best present I have ever gotten! Because I love to take pics. Now Christopher whole soccer team looks forward to my action shots of each and everyone of them! They log onto Walgreen's.com as soon as I post all their pics. I have found my passion, my love, and it is my outlet! If you ever have enough $$ to buy one do it! It is the best outlet for an Osborn and not only that you are good at it!'
I love you dearly, can't wait to see you so I can take pics with my family who I love and miss so much!!
Love always and forever!
Aunt R
