Honduras - Uno Photo

These last several weeks have been a bit crazy and full of travel. After spending a week in Michigan with family and photographing Jill & Nick's wedding, I turned around and left for Honduras. I spent a week with several other talented photographers capturing images hoping to tell the story of Hope for Honduras and all the wonderful things this group does for the local villagers. I have so much to share and many more images to blog from all of my travels. I will be posting more later, but wanted to post one image from Honduras. Be patient with me for a few more weeks of craziness and then stay tuned... so much to come!

Denver, CO ~ 01.09

My wonderful friend Gwen (featured below with her good looking boys) and I had some much needed girlfriend time in her hometown of Denver a few weeks back. Gwen and I roomed together in, and I quote Gwen on this, "a 52 square foot apartment downtown Chicago during our Senior year of college. Well, maybe it was like 152 square feet. But we also shared that elaborate space with roaches the size of a small duck and another roommate. It was the best and most expensive semester of our college lives!". I quote her because I couldn't have said it better. Jay and I flew out to visit and it was the first time we met eachothers boys. Did she ever keep us hoppin! In the few short days (too short) that I was there we managed to up to the mountains twice, to Evergreen and to Red Rock, take in the Rodeo and Stock show, see a local play "Girls Only" (her hubby Tim, aka "Super Dad" offered to watch the boys so we could have a night out), swimming with the boys, hiking, and on... We had SO much fun!!

Here are the pics to prove it...



The boys...


Something you don't see everyday - The Dairy Princesses (with tiaras and all) are on the left waiting for their cows to come in... literally.






Funny Alpaca's




Breathtaking Evergreen...


















There was an older gentleman watching me take this shot who pretty much thought I was nuts. My wonderful friend Gwen stood up for me - "It's ok. She's a professional." :)


















Gwen practiced her photography skills and took some pics me and my J. Thanks friend!!

Back on Dry Land...

Paul and I are now home from our WONDERFUL vacation. Below are some images from our trip. We left out of Miami on Celebrity Cruise's Century. Our first stop was Ocho Rios, Jamaica where we kayaked off the coast and then climbed Dunn River Falls. Jamaica is also where my hubbie donated his wedding ring to the Carribean Sea. oops. Our next stop was Grand Cayman Island. We shopped, ate lunch, swam, and enjoyed a drink at Captian Jack's right on the beach. Then back to Miami. Cruises are the best... anything and everything you would want to eat... wonderful service... too many things going on to possibly do them all... a casino where we won $100... is it too soon to book our next cruise? :)

(All images below were taken with my little point and shoot or a disposable camera)
