Women AirBorne!

Well, we've had our official first snowfall of the year.  It's only a couple inches but still...it's snow.  I'm staying in with the family today and while my daughter is napping I am catching up on some long overdue editing, Facebook posting and blogging! 

At the end of this summer I was fortunate enough to be able to take part in the Women AirBorne event that took place at Lyncrest airport, September 15, 2012.  264 women went up in 2-4 seat recreational air crafts!  It was a blast!  We broke the record for the most women airborne in one day.  It was such an amazing experience to be a part of.  I've never been in such a small airplane before.  The one we went up in was a 4 seat plane.  The take off and flight was good but the landing made my stomach flip a little.  It's amazing that the men and women who pilot the planes also built them.  I'm looking forward to going again next year for sure!

There are also a couple photo's from shoots that I did this summer and fall that I thought I'd throw in here.  

Enjoy!

Summer of 2012 Part V

This concludes my 5 part Summer of 2012 series.  It makes me a little sad actually.  It was nice to hold onto for so long...but it's time to let go.  After all as The Bryds sang "To everything (turn, turn, turn), there is a season (turn, turn, turn)...and now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

The following pictures are of the moon, sun and sky. The moon shots were taken with my 55-250mm lens.  The other two were taken with my 18-55mm lens.  The first three moons shots were of the full moon that happened at the beginning of August.  The next two are blue moons pictures (the second full moon in August).  The last moon shot is a harvest moon in September.  I spotted it on our way home one evening and was hoping to catch it when it was bigger and lower in the sky but we didn't get home and to my camera quick enough.  I spent a lot of time shooting sunsets and full moons this summer, I just love the sky and how it's ever changing and so beautiful. 

Hope you enjoyed my Summer series!  Stay tuned for more of my 365 Challenge!

Summer of 2012 Part IV

This is the second last part of my Summer of 2012 series!  I feel like I'm so behind on my blog entries!  I have so many pictures to post in my queue.  It's so hard to believe that November snuck up on us so quickly.  Where did September and October go?  It's starting to get cold here in Winnipeg so it's nice to go through my summer photos and reminisce of warmer times.  

I took a trip to Vegas with a girlfriend of mine this past weekend and took my camera out one day to shoot the strip.  The rest of the time I used my iPhone or my little Canon Elph.  I'll be sharing some of these photos in upcoming blogs!  First I have to finish this summer series, then some autumn photos...then hopefully Vegas!  I need an assistant!!  :)

This series features some fun shots from our family trip to the Children's Museum at The Forks and then the trip I took Kaelynne on to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan August Long Weekend.  

Thank you so much for your love and support, enjoy!
