Nature!

Here we went to look at the property a friend just purchased. A lovely place to relax. No car sounds very peaceful and quiet. Forty acres of pure heaven=)

Over looking the property….lovely!

I can just step into this one=)

The coolest thing of all! Along on side of the property runs this historic stone fence…very neat=)

This tree frog was on the side of the abandoned chicken house. I love frogs and toads…but I’d have to say tree frogs are my favorite=) They are just so amazing!

Which photo is your favorite?

Project For Work…

In high school I worked for my dad at his pallet business, some during the summer.  To help him get caught up on work. (along with several of my siblings) We cut wood, built pallets, sorted used pallets, repaired pallets, everything you can think of…for/with pallets=)  I HATED IT! I swore I would never work for myself, or work with pallets=) I especially remember the summer when both of my older brothers left the state, and yeah the extra work load was huge.  It was so hot that year and I felt like all I did was pull out splinters and eat dust. It’s very manual and just dirty work, I was completely worn out when I got home at night. I don’t think summer school helped things out at all either.

While taking these pictures last Saturday I had to smile.

It’s 2013~I’ve been graduated for a year.

I own my own business (work for myself, and it’s really not THAT bad…lol)

AND……

……Am a full time secretary for a…yeah you guessed it…pallet business! My dad says that Atherton’s have it in their blood and we will all work with pallets our entire lives….nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

So the moral here is never say never=)

I love it when work and photography come together…

I used a lot more effect in these photos than I normally do…

What do you all think?!?!

Me!!!!

No judging I tried…and honestly I like my result. In a later post I plan on pulling the tripod out and taking pictures of my self that way. Should be lots of fun! I need a lot more practice but hey we all start somewhere, don’t we?!?!?

Do they look like I took them myself?

Kittens

My sister Victoria is raising a litter of 7 kittens who’s mom left. She feeds them every four hours! (No kidding night and day) and they are thriving=) Her lack of sleep is beginning to catch up with her though, I feel sorry for her. But I am so proud of her for sticking it out and caring for these little animals. More pictures to come=)

Adorable!

Have any of you raised any baby animals?
