Yesterday was another reminder of Grandpa with all the geese passing through Missouri. He liked to shoot them with his gun; I like to shoot them with my camera.

Day 38: Twilight
I recently learned about the different phases of twilight. This photo was taken during what is called nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6-12 degrees below the horizon, or about 30 minutes to an hour after sunset. You can still see some color off in the distance, which can generate some beautiful photos. Especially when the moon is so bright!

Day 33: Blizzard 2011, Part 3
The sun is a beautiful thing, especially after a blizzard! Despite the cold, it was certainly a welcome sight yesterday morning.

Day 32: Blizzard 2011, Part 2
Yesterday was definitely a blizzard, just as the meteorologists predicted. The snow was blowing so hard it drifted a couple feet tall into the hallways between apartment buildings, and by the time it was over, it practically buried some of the parked cars.

Omaha and the Zoo
We traveled to Omaha, Nebraska last weekend for a short trip, and we had a great time at the zoo! Downtown Omaha is such a fun place, with the zoo, Old Market, Omaha Union Station, the Riverfront, and so much more!
