Back from Vacation and so much to share! : Indianapolis Lifestyle Photographer

We just returned home this past weekend from a wonderful vacation.  I've got so many photos to share that it will be hard to narrow it down, but I wanted to show off a few that I love.

We were in Atlanta at the Georgia Aquarium (which is a FANTASTIC place, btw...pictures from there will coming soon).  Anyway, after the aquarium, we headed over to Centennial Olympic park to look around.  It's the site of the Olympics that were held in Atlanta in 1996.  It was a ridiculously hot day, so after the walk we headed over to the Fountain of Rings to cool off a bit.

I snapped these while I was watching all of the kids play.  I love how they look in b&w even better than in color :)  Enjoy!

OMG OMG OMG.....The Pioneer Woman thinks my photo is SPLENDID!!!!

Holy crap....I feel sooooooooo great about this!  So, I happened to be looking through some of my flickr photos the other day, and I saw that I was getting comments on a few, so I selected one of them, and someone had written congrats to me for being a Pioneer Woman featured photos!!!!!!

Now....how do I describe The Pioneer Woman to those of you that don't know her?  Well, I'm not sure....a friend of mine (thanks Jill!) actually told me about her blog a year or so ago.  She had a lot of photography tips on there and thought that I might like it (which, of course, I do....well, LOVE it would be more appropos).

Anyway, she frequently has these contests, so I sometimes enter them, figuring I've got no chance out of the THOUSANDS of photos that are entered.  This particular them was water photos, and we had just gotten back from Sweden.  I had a few great photos from our little boat trip, so I thought, "What the heck?".  I entered it, but then kinda forgot :(  ....won't let that happen again, rest assured :), which is why I was so surprised when I read those comments....I am humbled and proud :)
