Monday at the madhouse ~ hello from the west coast

Look at that California light!We arrived last week, and I have taken so many photos. Photos of trees and skies and beaches and family and dogs and food and we haven't even left yet! I'm just going to put a sampling of images in here and say that I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Ours was damn good.Also, since I'm still traveling, the regular scheduled blogging might not return for a few more days. Be patient! I'm trying to relax out here!   We did a few portraits at sunset one night just for fun.The red woods were just what I needed. Damn, do I love those trees. My niece Emma joined the cross country team this year, so she spent a lot of time this weekend training for her first meet this week.But seriously, these trees.Oh hi there, Bambi.             Ezra was pretty enamored with his cousin Johnny.     Of course I have to put this one in again. I love those stars so much.After shooting the galaxy, we shot some light painting photos of the cousins.
