Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

This summer has been fantastic! 
Disneyland
Universal Studios
SeaWorld
Palm Dessert
Moving across the State

Our trip to Disney was fantastic! Disneyland is not only makes an adult become a child but also is a photographers playground. I was so overwhelmed with excitement and happiness that place is truly the worlds most happiest place! 
Here are some photos from the trips! 
DISNEYLAND:
 Goofy Statue for our lovely Auntie D! 
 My all time favorite ride!! I'll Always be a pirate at heart! 
We met this guy in line for Pirates of the Caribbean! he is amazing!  We saw his tattoo and my step dad being who he is, asked him about it. He has a tattoo of dead lift championships that he has won throughout his life! it was so fun to meet him! he was from Canada and is still a dead lifter!So we of course had to get a picture with him! 
TEACUPS!!!!!!!!! 
OWL and a castle! my two favorite things ever! 
 Fairy tales and Owls!
Yay Goofy!

Some tips for doing Disney, Universal and SeaWorld, with a camera:
~Travel Light! I traveled with only a small camera bag that was water proof and compatible! 
~Another travel light tip...Bring one lens..Bring a small compatible lens that you love. 
~Multipurpose camera bag, I kept snacks and my wallet and my boyfriends wallet so that we didn't have to have any extra baggage.

Fourth Of July

This year, we didn't make annnnny plans for the fourth! But luckily Chris has friends in great places. His friends invited us over for a BBQ and for fireworks! They had a large truck full of fire works and yummy burgers to grill! 
They were great fun! 
It was definitely an adventure trying to figure out the way to take good pictures of the fireworks! they turned out very interesting! and exciting! the colors popped and banged! 
With a very low ISO and a very low F stop I captured the great moments of the bangs and booms of our little up close firework show.

Whale Watching

wow..its been a while! hah
Well hey ya'll! Since my last endeavor my man and I had taken an exciting whale watching journey!
for our anniversary/Chris birthday/Easter my mother groupon gifted  us two tickets for Island Mariner (click here for link) whale watching tours! It was amazing!
This what was supposed to be a 6 hour trip resulted in 8 hours of sea time and one whale! it was soo much better than our last whale watching excursion where we only saw porpoises...haha
We encountered, all the way up in Canada, Victoria to be exact, a transient orca whale!! He was amazing!
I got some great photos from this trip as well! it was fun trying to capture the excitement of the whale flipping his fins and coming up then disappearing again under the bright blue water! This trip was so worth it!! So far for each anniversary we have done this! I'm sensing tradition?! ahah

It was so beautiful! Here are some of the photos that I captured on the amazing trip!

While on this trip we learned about a cool website that has a live radio feed of the underwater life in the San Juan Islands, if anyone is interested this is the link: http://orcanetwork.org/
This trip was so great! I highly recommend Island Mariner Cruises! they were so wonderful and the food they serve on the boat was not to bad as well =) The naturalist and the captains were all amazing!! AND it starts right out of Bellingham, WA!
