I'm not going to do a big writeup or anything about this trip. Went to a wedding party (ok, two of them.), the family reunion, and just hung around with family the whole time. Not too much of note, except the rental car had an issue. You know those new fangled sensors that make a dinging sound when you're backing up to let you know how close you are to whatever is behind you? Well, it got broken and would do that all the time, forward or reverse. We took it to the local dealership and they couldnt fix it, and the closest Avis was in Grand Forks. Normally not a big deal, but we weren't staying there all week like we usually do, and being the 4th they didnt have any replacement cars readily available. Plus this car had the nicest seats ever so we didnt want to get rid of it. Turns out disconnecting the battery and leaving it off for 10 minutes causes the cars computer to reboot, which fixed the problem. It did it again later so we rebooted it again. Its discount time on our rental when we turn it in, though.
So enough rambling...pics!
This trip I ended up taking 418 pics. These are the ones I like the most. The rest are "doubles", family reunion snaps of people you won't care about, or pics of my cousin who likes to have her picture taken. Hey, good practice for me since I dont do a lot of portrait type stuff otherwise.
First up: sunset!
Same sunset, but with my younger cousin eating the sun.
Same sunset, just slightly lower and zoomed in across the field.
Greenbush, where the wedding parties were. The star shows how far north it really was.
ZOMG ME!
Bored at the wedding party, I made my younger cousin a noose out of the pretty ribbon that held the eating utensils together.
Windmill at the family reunion place.
Creepy Silent Hill-style wheelchair. I wanted a better picture of it in this barn but good lord the mosquitoes were horrible.
Flowers!
My cousin was putting flowers in her hair and dropped one on the gravel. I thought it looked kind of neat like that.
My cousin on the side of the road by grandmas. Yes, its kinda remote.
Probably my fave pic out of them all, a field of daisies.
Cousin by the river at sunset.
These lillypads were much cooler in person.
Sunset! Again! It happens every day!
At a 4th of July parade a clown stuck a firefighters badge to my forehead. True story.
Apparently I'm good at taking flower pictures. I think I need to expand my picture taking horizons a little. Like...boobies would be good.
My cousins dog and legs. Mostly dog.
Oh yeah, this one turned out surprisingly well. My cousin was putting on makeup before we went to take pictures. Did I say "before"? I meant during! I took like 20 shots of her putting makeup on just to get this one. Ah, photography is fun. Kind of. It was a bitch trying to keep myself from showing in the mirror.
