Expressions Galore, in Action!

I have a cousin who is incredibly expressive. She often makes the greatest faces in reaction to what is happening around her, and she also takes beautifully posed pictures as well. Here are a few action shots of her that I absolutely love.

Bubbly Bride

My cousin married her childhood sweetheart in April, and I couldn't resist sharing this photograph of the two of them leaving the reception. All bubbles are being blown by wedding guests. I love the look of the bubbles and the bride, with the groom in the background.

Washed Away in Yellowstone

When I visited Yellowstone National Park last August, I saw many beautiful rivers and waterfalls. For some I was able to zoom in enough to make the fall look close, despite the fact that it was very far away. Water is definitely one of my favorite parts of nature to photograph.

Waterfall in WI

This is one of my favorite pictures from Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, WI. Although it is a fairly small waterfall, many friends have at first glance thought it was a picture of a much larger waterfall taken from much further away.

Thai Pavilion

The Thai Pavilion at Olbrich Botanical Garden in Madison, WI. I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon at the gardens during my cross-country trip at the end of summer 2007.

Beauty of Color

I love color, which is perhaps why this is one of my favorite pictures. It's from the ceiling at Park Guell in Barcelona, Spain.

Crazy Statues

This picture is only the beginning of the weird things I've seen in just the past year. When we were leaving the Petrified National Forest, we drove by this sign at an intersection. I believe it was even used as a landmark in our directions.
