Black and White Wednesday




I cant believe it is Wednesday already!! It is time for B&W photo sharing. I'm going to take the next few Wednesday's and post some of my hubby's photos. He has a love for the camera and has taken many great pictures over the years.

This is one of my favorites!! It is a picture of Mt. Hood, this beautiful majestic mountain graced us with her beauty every day in Portland, OR; during the more than 10 years I lived there. (that is when it was not raining. ha)

The beauty that surrounded this mountain when the sun was shining was amazing!! You could be anywhere in the city and there it was as big as life!!

I will have to say I don't miss the NW at all. Yes, it is beautiful and green but there is a reason for that, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN and MUD, MUD, MUD!! The mud everywhere and with 4 boys that wanted to play outside I was not a happy Mama when they came back in and to add a 100 pound German Shepard that came in and out too!! Our basement was not a pretty site! ha

I do miss having water everywhere with the ocean and rivers and lakes. It is hard being land locked now but you cant have everything you want and somethings have to give. I'm just glad I have SUNSHINE now!

Too see the rest of the B&W's go to Lisa's Blog!

Hi April~

This is stunning. It is definitely hard to leave a place of beauty and not be in a place that offers so much beauty. However, I'm sure you and your hubby do the best to find beauty anywhere you go!

Happy belated birthday to Gemma. I'm sure it was hard to have her away from you but God-willing she'll be with you very soon and oh the joy that'll await her.

Blessings~
Lisa

Ok, this answers my question as to whether or not you are FROM Colorado :)

What an amazing picture! Yes, I think the hubs knows what he is doing!!

Oh, we went to a Valentine's party & Mya "borrowed" Ava's darling hair style (the day we met) - gotta say, cute, cute, cute!! (I wonder if Gemma will love hair accessories!?!?! I am thinking YES!)

Are you sure? That looks like Rainier or even Mt. St. Helens...Mt. Hood is more pointed.
