A mini road trip

We were invited to go on a little mini road trip with Derk and Angie to the beach Saturday. We drove to Santa Cruz and were headed to the mystery spot. When we got there they told us it was at least a two hour wait. so we headed in to town to do some caching. We had Woodstocks pizza witch is awesome by the way. after that we headed to the beach and back home via San Jose. Here are some pictures of the days events.

Our day at the fair

 

 I saw a lady in the pig barn with cupcakes and I had to take a picture of them.

For me there is some thing very awe inspiring about the majesty and beauty of these animals. Just gorgeous creatures.

I was given the opportunity to photograph the Miss Escalon Pageant. I had a Wonderful time. I got to chat with an old friend. That same friend told me you are a farmer not a photographer. I know but I still like to take pictures and think I have at least some skills. Well here are some of the pictures.

April 16, 2005 a day that lasts a life time.

 The picture above is when she realized we were not there to celebrate my birthday and figured out everyone else was in on the surprise.

These pictures are a little on the older side. The are from when I proposed way back on April 16, 2005.

Fireworks in Ripon

 

These are some shots I got while in front of my sisters house in Ripon.

Fireworks on the 3th of July

It all started with a text message from a friend. She is the creator and photographer for lensdaisy.com . She had mentioned that she wanted to shoot some fireworks and said that she was going to Manteca's firework display. She told me what setting she thought I should use. I thought i knew better but it turns out she was right. I ended up with 2 good pictures out of the 110 that I took.
