Flamingos don't like construction

My girls and I went to the zoo this week and met up with some friends there.  When we came up to the flamingos, they were MAD as hornets!  Most of them had their heads up in the air, necks straight up and they were making this horrible squawking noise.  My favorite part about their agitated state was their ruffled feathers!  Even though they were angry, they were beautiful!

The zoo is doing some construction and I'm thinking the flamingos are not at all happy about it!

This guy was right up on the fence.  I could have easily pet him if I didn't mind losing a finger in the process.  (See the ones behind him with their heads straight up in the air?)

I'm in love with these feathers!  I'm so glad I was able to get a quick shot!

I can just imagine these two complaining about all the noise...that or 

making fun of people like me taking their picture!

My Wedding

No, I didn't shoot my wedding...but I did shoot these pictures this past week!

Our wedding was almost 5 years ago and I've just now started designing our album.  (Sad, huh?)  Anyway...looking at all our pictures made me want to play around with my camera and recreate some shots.  ::Sigh:: I love wedding stuff  :o)

Lauren's Wedding

I got to second shoot this wedding with my friend Heather, of "Reflections Of..." Photography, back in summer of '07.  I had a BLAST at this wedding!  The bridal party and their friends & family were so much fun to be around!  I can't wait to post more about it but I'm just going to post a couple of pictures for now and I'll add on more later :o)
