CLOUD PILLOW 2
Cloud Pillow Mountains My family and I went on a mini road trip to a small town up in the mountains one winter afternoon so that the kids could play in the snow. As my fiancée drove I was playing with the camera taking silly pictures of everyone in the car, and then I started taking random shots of the beautiful scenery outside my window. It is amazing the pictures you can take even when in a moving car, like a beautiful shot of the mountains with a cloud that looks like a big comfy pillow sitting on it. The photo that stands out in my mind the most from that day would have to be this picture I took of the mountains. As we approached the mountains I noticed that the clouds were low, and sitting on top of them. In the picture you see the whole mountain with a fluffy cloud that looks like a pillow sitting a top of it. Light blue tint to the picture could make you feel how cold it was that day. I have seen clouds on mountains before, but never a perfect pillow like I saw on this particular mountain. It was an amazing sight, what is more amazing, is that I got a perfect shot of it with my camera while the car was still moving. The children love the picture. My fiancé as well she wanted to enter it in a contest I told her to enter it in her name. It made it into some photo book. The mountains were blue grey with snow splattered on them in the picture it looked no more than two inches deep of a pillow all the way across the top of them. My fiancée, the kids, and I continued on up to the mountains and played in the snow for a couple of hours and ate a picnic lunch. On the return trip home we

    It was going to be a short ride only about 4 hours altogether through the South Dakota mountains. About an hour into our ride, we reached the mountains and as soon as we did Brody, Eli, Maddy, and I rode our horses to the top of the mountains. When we reached the top of the mountains we got off our horses and looked out over the South Dakota scenery, it was a beautiful view. I have never seen a better view in my life. You could see so far since we were up so high in the air and when we looked down at Tommy and Cassie they looked like ants. After we took a few pictures we headed back down to Tommy and Cassie. We went a little further after we got down from the mountain and then we turned back and headed towards camp. We arrived back at camp we washed, fed, and watered the horses. When we were done with that stuff we made a fire and started carving on sticks for a competition we were having and then at about 11 we went to…

    It was crazy to start the hike with green grass but end up in snow and freezing rain and mud. On one part of trail we were hiking and fell into the icy cold river. We had to peel our boots, socks and pants and put our thermal gear on. Of course this brought on more rain. We sprinted down a large mountain while freezing cold with no boots or socks on. Everyone was miserable. We finally made it to our campsite, where we started a fire and listened to bugling Elk while staring at the stars. We woke up the next morning to three large Mule Deer looking into our tent.…

    Just for extra fun we drove to Chicago and stayed there for two nights. We explored downtown Chicago, all the amazing buildings. We even got to go into the old Sears Tower, which was something that I think everyone needs to see. It's probably one of the best sights I've ever seen, other than the fact I've only seen a good view going down Quincy hill near my hometown.…

    I recently took a trip to a pumpkin patch in my hometown. It is located off the main highway in a secluded field surrounded by enormous Douglas Firs and various scattered Maple trees. The pumpkin patch is owned by a gentle, older couple whom you will often find wandering around the patch helping when needed. My trip not only provided me with a pumpkin, it also reminded me of the simple beauties of life.…

    Today I left for Yosemite with my friends and our parents. It took us about 5 hours to get to get there. We took about 10 stops on the way. When we arrived I popped open the trailer and too a nice long nap because we got up at 3 am and left at 4 am. After my nap I met up with a couple of friends who were also staying in the campsites next to us who were also taking naps . We went hiking to Yosemite Falls with a guide to watch the water flow down. It was beautiful and there was a sunset which made it even prettier. Our guide who led us there told us we should make a list to follow every day we were staying. We asked what were the greatest thing to see. He said Half Dome, Ansel Adams Gallery Tuolumne Meadows, Mist Trail and Vernal Fall,Glacier…

    I got in the car and picked my buddy up from his house. The roads had frozen over so of course I had to drive at a responsible speed. Driving down icy roads are pretty frightening, but we had a song to keep us calm and think back on our glory days. It made me think, I'm living in the glory days as we speak and I shouldn't let them pass me by. Finally, we get to the snowy ski resort.…

    Looking at this photograph, I would compare it to the calm before the storm. First off, this is the last photo we took as a whole family, before my great grandma lost her long and gruesome battle to Leukemia. It was before the wearying events of December. I remember this day, and this weekend even quite vividly. We all knew my great grandma wouldn’t be with us much longer, which made us…
