Looking Back on Twenty-Sixteen

Twenty-Sixteen started with a new camera! In January I purchased my Nikon and instantly fell in love!

This was taken while learning how to use my camera.

 Then Emily came home on spring break so we did some pictures.

My cousin Esther also visited.

 I got to see these adorable lambs in April.

 Spring's first tulip.

Another lamb.

May was full of gorgeous blossoms like this one.

 June was a fun month.

 I think we can all agree fresh strawberries are a dream come true!

 I shot Esther again while visiting her for a cousins wedding.

 July was full of work and not many pictures.

In August, I met the ocean.

 Washington is incredibly beautiful, but I am still a Minnesota girl.

 The Northern Cascade mountains are HUGE!

 I have to admit, I fell in love with Montana.

 September.

 October yielded a new lens which I love more every time I use it.

 I photographed Skylar in October as well.

Hot cocoa, just because.

 November gave snow and adorable chickadees.

 Isn't he just adorable!?

December brought about Christmas and the end of Twenty-Sixteen.

We had family visit after Christmas.

Happy New Year everyone!

Snow

We finally got our first real snowfall.

Merry Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Today we put up our Christmas tree. I love the lights and colors of the tree.

Our wreath.

I was playing with Christmas lights and people, what do you think of the results?

One of the ornaments that I made.

I love old pickups, so naturally I love this ornament.

.410 shells make excellent ornaments. 

A washi egg ornament.

What are your favorite parts of Christmas?

Merry Christmas,

Abby

Vacation Pictures

We took a vacation to go deer hunting in St. Louis County MN. Here are some pictures from the trip.

 The super moon.

 Chickadees are way too fun to photograph.

 Another one.

 This one is my favorite.

 It snowed while we were there.

 I love snow on pine needles.

 This cat has a meow that sounds like a squeak.

Fresh, glittery snow.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Fall

Here is a bunch of random pictures that I have taken lately.

I hope you all are having an awesome fall.
