Lyndon and I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! This holiday is so much more than firework and barbecues. My favorite quote and something to ponder:

Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. ~Louis D. Brandeis

We spent our day doing two shoots and now processing the images, but our real celebration will take place tomorrow. :) One of a handful of annual occasions when my entire family gathers, it's one of my favorites (behind Christmas of course!). Yummy food and boat rides on the lake! We're going to attempt to get shots of the fireworks that top off the day, but I can't make any promises...lol. In the meantime you'll have to settle for red white and blue flowers. I can really only claim the white one, the red and blue come compliments of my Mom! Seriously, my mom's flower pictures rule, I opened these and thought 'holy crap!'...they were that good, and it just so happened that the perfect colors for today. We (Lyndon, my dad and I) bought her a DSL for Christmas, and she's really rockin' the semi-manual modes! How to work the buttons? Well, we'll stil working on that one, but I'm really proud of the way she's already understand depth of field and composition! :) More people pictures to come!







She did great right?
