Home for some Turkey

This adventure began like many do, in an airport. Not so much the departing airport but the arriving one. Tiffanie and I were flying into Grand Rapids on different carriers from different cities yet we were arriving within 3 minutes of each other. Tiffanie at the A terminal and me at the B terminal, So we met my parents who were there to pick us up in the middle.

After introductions we were off to see grandma.

Taking fun photos at the Fredrich Meijer Gardens

Where do you find a wreath that gigantic

Is the bear smiling because he's happy to see us or because he sees his next meal?

For those of us lucky enough to have seen some of Tiffanie's photos, most have wondered how she does it. Well here is a little insight as to how she captures some of those awe inspiring shots.

First step is to find you subject. Make sure the lighting is right.


Get right up close. Select your focal point.

Then laugh at the goofball your hiking with as he just points and shoots.

For those of you who haven't been lucky enough to see her work yet check out the link to her site at the top right of mine under Field Days
