February

We went hiking and I took these pictures of the stream and waterfall.

We had snow and ice in February.

This is an icicle from our yard.

I took this picture of my violin and changed the color on my camera. It looks like the pictures my mom puts on instagram.

January

It's been a while since I posted pictures I've taken so I have quite a few to share today.

We were in Sunriver (central Oregon) earlier this month and I took these first two photos of the clouds.

I got mom birdseed for Christmas and now we have lots of birds visiting our backyard.

My pretty violin.

Last night mom and I went across the street to the lake to take pictures of the sunset.

This is a picture of a tree in our backyard that I took this morning.

Vermont

These are the pictures I took while in Vermont last week. They are all of the fall leaves, which were very pretty. 

Illinois

We went to Illinois to visit our grandparents. I took this photo from the plane.

Here is a picture of me, Grandma and her dogs (Emmie and Lloyd).

This is Lloyd.

New Photos

My mom, Sydney and I went to Suzuki Institute (violin camp) and stayed at a friend's house. This is their dog, Bella.

While we were at Institute, we had an arts and crafts class every day. One day we made these tissue paper flowers.

One morning of Institute, we ate breakfast at a coffee shop. There were beautiful flowers in the garden outside.

When we got home from Institute, our beloved hamster had died. We got a hermit crab and named her Tamara. She is very active and walks around her cage a lot.

This is a humming bird that I saw flying around the honeysuckle in our garden. Can you see it?

These flowers were on Dog Mountain. We hiked up this mountain with dad while mom was in Montana. It's a long, steep hike and this was our third time. Every time we have done this hike, the people at the top are amazed that little girls can do it.

Ducks

We have ducks that live in a pond right next to our yard. 

This duck, whom we named Pansy, built a nest which we can see from our yard.
