Beautiful World

After many hours of cleaning the house on Sunday we were finally able to open the piano again!!! (it was kinda the storage for many things) Needless to say it had missed us and we had missed it. Eric sat down to play a few songs when Bekah climbed up on his lap. There is just something about those tiny little hands on her Daddy's big hands and moving to the music! I did them in black and white as well as colour. I can't decide which I like the most.

Today I went out with my camera and tripod and went on a mission. I needed to take a picture of something spring. I am entering a photo contest with Eric's Dad in an outdoor magazine. I thought hmmm whats more springish then a bird sitting on her nest?! So I managed to capture this shot of a morning dove on her nest in my hedges. She was very patient with me and didn't move a muscle. This is the result of about 25 minutes of standing still, gently moving away some of the hedge and take a few shots.
