iPhoneography Mission #13

iPhoneography Mission #13: Go someplace you've never been.


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
A perfect time for this mission as I was finally going to visit my brother in Nebraska. I took country roads I've never traveled on from Oskaloosa, Kansas to Lincoln, Nebraska. The weather was gorgeous and I took that opportunity to not only snap pics with the iPhone (using the Hipstamatic) but I pulled over several times to grab some shots with the D90 as well which I will share in future posts. I had never been to my brother's house in Lincoln and I discovered it full of babies, children, dogs and lots of laughter! All in all, my favorite mission so far. :)

 What a fun time I had, especially with my nephew Seth (Joe Cool). We found a trail and nearly were eaten by wolves and attacked by a serial killer but we made it out alive and with our imaginations in tact. :)

Now, as the holiday festivities continue, it's time to think about the next mission! Here ya go:

Mission #14: Study the color and shape of your breakfast.

  

Walking Down Memory Lane

Oh how I miss London!  Usually I am there in the Springtime but not this year.  Instead I went the week before Christmas with my friend Jackie.  We had so much fun and it was great to be there when all the decorations are up.  But, now that it is spring and everything is blooming, I miss walking through Hyde Park, eating Ben's Cookies, taking in a play, browsing the markets and indulging at high tea.  Those times were made more special because I was spending it with family and friends. So, I decided to do a blog post and take a walk down memory lane.
