Fain Park -Our Hidden Gem

Today after I photographed an Rv for a friend, I stopped by Fain Park in Prescott Valley. I have used Fain Park as a photography spot before and I was anxious to see how it looked after the large amoung of rain we have had this summer. It didn't disappoint!

I am Loving our Monsoon Season!

July and August in Prescott has been just beautiful! I can't remember when we had such a long monsoon season. Everything is so green and thriving. The flowers, the grass, the clouds, the rainbows. I am so grateful to live in this wonderful area!

Prescott Veterans Administration Grounds

How many of you have really gone through the grounds of the VA in Prescott before? I took a drive through the lovely grounds today and shot a few images. It was raining and everything was so green.

The housing is comprised of beatiful Victorian homes overlooking Thumb Butte.

The Beautiful gardens are tended by a Vietnam Veteran.

Tomorrow is not a Given!

On June 17, 2010 my niece, Lindsey lost her husband, Tyson Larson in a tragic explosion. They were to have celebrated their year anniversary on August 1. My family attended their magical wedding last year and I can honestly say, I have never attended a wedding so beautiful and so filled with love. Their devotion to each other was like nothing I have ever seen. I am so grateful to have been there, as it reconnected my family and it was truly a blessing. It was the first time I met Tyson, and in that one meeting, I could tell he was a very special person.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of this young man and the impact he has had on so many lives, mine included. I think of the beautiful young bride he left behind, the mother and father who have lost their precious son, the big brother and sister whose hearts ache and the numerous family and friends whose lives changed instantly at the loss of this young man.

Life is short...Love is sweet...Never take for granted the people in our lives and treasure every moment we have. God is Good!

Rest in Peace Dear Tyson.

Tsunami on the Courthouse Square

This past Saturday I dropped by the Courthouse Square to check out the Art Show. It was a cool day with a few showers. The vendors had many beautiful items for sale. I especially like the HDR Photography Booths and I am looking forward to learning that soon! Here are a few images from that beautiful day.
