The Picture

When I had my cousins over for Thanksgiving we got to go to the beach, seeing as most people don't have the privelige of going there often. My cousin is currently taking a digital photo class for school, and so this was the perfect oppurtunity to get some quality pics including one with me in it. I have to say, I was a natural for the camera.

This was the star photo of me, with a great backdrop.

This was another good photo, with the shadow of cousin to catch the eye.

Oregon sunsets are a photographers dream, and you can see why.

The car tracks had a neat effect on this picture. (Oregonians can drive on their beaches :-). )

got Snow? We do.

We got a good amount snow over the weekend from an Artic chill. For most people, snow is not that big deal. Of course, most people don't live in one of the top two rainiest cities in the U.S. either. So, out of pure joy, I had to snap a couple of pictures of the snow that we got, and show of the best snow of the year from Astoria, Oregon.

The snow actually stuck, which doesn't happen a lot with a warm humid climate.

When you see the snow, it sort of makes you think about what a "White Christmas" on the coast would actually look like.

Snow is definitely a nice change from the usual December rain.

4A Football Champions

My high school (Astoria High School), has recently experienced a lot of success in the athletic programs, with strong showings in almost every sport, especially this season. Last week, I had the opportunity to go watch the football team win their first state championship in 106 years. Talk about a long time. Below is a video from the game.

Astoria punctuates perfect season

Pumpkin Patch Trip - Sauve Island

This is completely old, about a month and a half, but I have just barely got around to posting these photos. Sometime in October, on a day off from school my family went up to Sauve Island in Portland. It is known for have some of the best land to grow crops with in the area. Because of this, there are numerous farms, including several large pumpkin patches. So we decided to check it out, and take up the challenge of going through a rather large maze. A couple of pics from the trip are below.

The corn maze was long, and rather muddy.

This picture doesn't even begin to describe the size of the pumpkin patch.

This was an aeriel view of the maze, the design changes each year.
