Last Friday I had the pleasure of shooting portraits for the Stout’s. Floyd & Arley were having their 50th Anniversary that day and after portraits they went for a nice dinner with their two sons Bradley & Byron.
We started in studio with some classic shots, then went for a little walk in the park for some relaxed outdoor looks. I love outdoor shooting and this was a neat session.
Cyrus is nearly 9 months old. I don’t post about him as much as I should, as I have hundreds of pictures of his antics. He’s soooo cute. Crawling now, he cruises everywhere squeaking and cooing to himself as he discovers new thing on the floor to eat, and sweeps it with his little body. Out little bot is growing up. When I get home he get’s exited and gets a huge grin. Then we go lay on the couch and he cuddles with me for a few minutes before he gets back to exploring.

Cyrus in June: Sondra took this great shot with her compact camera.
Cyrus in August. He bathes in the sink a lot:
Cyrus in September, trying out the swing for the 1st time:
A lone cowboy rides across the barren dessert atop his faithful sorrow. His silver spurs glisten in the hot afternoon sun as a dry wind rustles thru tumbleweeds caught on the countless boulders scattered along barren landscape. He looks out gloomily from under his weathered gray hat for a sign of the life giving water he seeks. There is none to be found. They trudge onwards.
OK enough of me trying to write. I have enough projects on my hands, including a couple books so I best not get started on another story. Besides that, this is a shot I took yesterday neat Ephrata lake. There was water and green not a hundred yards behind be. Interesting how fast the land around here can change.
