Today was a big day. I took Abigail to freshman orientation at her high school this afternoon. This evening they had something called Frosh Fest. There were hot dogs, ice cream sundaes, raffle prizes and friends. After I dropped Abbi off, I thought about how gorgeous it was out (and can I just say that my house was especially meat locker-y tonight?). I came back, picked up Emma and Isaac and we drove a few miles to a path that I have seen and wanted to explore since we moved here. There is a bridge that crossed the road and trees all around and I was certain that it would be a fantastic place to take pictures.
Well, I was right.
I have been inspired by several amazing photographers lately. I'm going to have to practice if I want to get better, right? Isn't that what this blog is about? Tonight I did it. I took the camera out of auto mode and put it in manual mode. I thought to myself, there is nothing lost if these pictures don't turn out. We're just on a hike. On a Tuesday night. No big deal.
I have more to learn, I know. But I'm still excited about how this is starting to make sense to me. I might actually be able to figure this out.

What's telling about this picture is how Isaac and Emma are on opposite sides of the bridge. They don't always see eye to eye and they don't always get along. But even when she is annoyed, Emma always watches out for him. Much like my brother does for me (happy birthday Nate!). He was the only one allowed to pick on me when we were growing up. And even now, when we are 38 and 43 (Ha - old man!), nothing's changed.
