Walking with the shadows

Walking with the shadows, both physically and metaphysically.

While in Sturgis, South Dakota for this, I was drawn to this engraved pathway. At first I thought it was some type of memorial then I realized some of the blocks held the names of businesses and not individuals. I did not find any information on Sturgis' city website so I am only assuming that this pathway was created as a way to raise funds for the revitalization of the main street by offering blocks for sale. Personally I think it is a really great idea. I don't much care for the advertising blocks but really found the memorial blocks to be touching and historically interesting. 

What do you think about this method of funding?

Coming Soon!

Back in April I had the privilege of capturing the early stage of Anni's pregnancy and now I have been privileged once again to capture her in her late stage of pregnancy. With only three weeks left the baby should be coming soon. 

Weekend Reflection Submission

I wish this new family all the best and hope I will be able to capture their little one when she arrives.

Great Faces

Given the fact that South Dakota is home to Mt. Rushmore our slogan is Great Faces, Great Places. In addition to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse down town Rapid City is full of sculptures of our nations presidents. I won't claim that all of the presidents faces were all that great but the sculptures sure are. On Monday I decided take my grandchildren down and see which presidents we could find.

James K. Polk 11th president

Richard M. Nixon 37th President

Andrew Johnson 17th President

Dwight D. Eisenhower 34th President

George W. Bush 43rd President

It turned out to be a rather hot day so we only found these before our interest turned to cooler pursuits.

Pretty in Pink

I saw this pretty pink flower while taking a walk at Memorial Lake and just had to share it with you. If you would like to see the lake you can check it out here.

Outdoor Campus

I thought I would share a few shots from our recent trip to the outdoor campus.

Linking up with Jame's Weekend Reflection

I really think this fish wanted his photo taken. He pretty much hovered in one spot staring at me, but then again maybe he was wondering why I was  pointing that odd looking contraption at him. I was a little disappointed that I was unable to get a really clear shot, maybe I will remember my tripod next visit.

 Now for some shots that my ten year old granddaughter captured.
