Yellowstone National Park, Part I
Yellowstone National Park, June 2018 (part 1)
Last month we made a family trip to Yellowstone.
The park is incredibly vast and so beautiful. It was our very first trip and we spent 5 days exploring as much as we could. The landscape changes dramatically from epic canyons, to open valleys, to lush forests to open lakes and streams. The hiking trails are wonderful.
I loved the eastern part of the park the best, especially Lamar Valley. There was so much wildlife around each corner and seeing all the bear cubs playing in the meadow was something I will not forget.

Apple picking
Each fall we go apple picking as a family. Wandering the paths together, finding the perfect apple, climbing the ladders, the hay ride. It’s one of my favorite traditions of this season and I’m glad we still do it.
I am having so much fun shooting film. These days I’m only picking up my digital cameras 10% of the time.
Last week I was at a local camera store and saw a Canon EOS 3 sitting on the shelf. This model came out in 1999 and was discontinued by 2007. It’s a film SLR camera. It has a beautiful viewfinder, feels great in your hand and works with all of Canon’s L-series lenses. Asking price: $99.
I handed the man my credit card for the camera and a battery and off I went.
I’m not sure how often I’ll use this camera to be honest. Probably just for the kids sports when I need something fast. But I couldn’t let this gem sit on the shelf. It may be discontinued but I’m keeping it alive.Â
