Arizona Sunset



So here is a beautiful Arizona Sunset taken last Fall 07. This is really some of the incredible colors that we get to see here in the sky. Amazing!

Here she is again. What a cutie!

A Hawaiian Sunset on Maui


Surf and Sand

Here is my beautiful niece posing for me on the Hawaiian sand in Oahu.

Salt Lake Temple

Here is the SLC Temple during the Summer of 07.

Arizona Temple at Christmas

Here is the Mesa Arizona Temple this last Christmas 07. We will be getting a new temple in Gilbert just a few miles away.

Hawaii Temple

Last year on our trip to Hawaii, we visited the Hawaiian temple. I was so tickled to get this photo with the storm clouds rolling in. It really sets off the white of the temple and makes it a dramatic picture.

Desert Sunset


Desert Sentinels

This is some Saguaro cactus at sunset around March. We went to a big gunshow and as we were leaving the sun was setting and we were able to get this classic western picture

Sunflowers

Here is another version with a flower in the lower right hand corner and different lighting

Renaissance Picture







So I got to borrow some studio lights from my Art Colony that I belong to and played around in my garage and these were some of the pictures that I came up with. My daughters sent me these beautiful sunflowers for mothers day, and they meant so much to me, that I wanted to capture them forever. I am thinking of possibly painting a still life with the picture of the silver pitcher and goblets.
Here is another arrangement of my Mothers Day flowers. I am having so much fun learning about my camera and lighting and how to take some awesome pictures! I am even surprising myself! Wahoo!
