reliving Disney memories - Epcot

As some of you may remember, Jake and I took a trip to Orlando in January. You can check out my preview post over here and my full Magic Kingdom post over here. I'm still going through my vacation pictures and am posting more shots from Epcot today.

Stay tuned later this summer for shots from Universal Studios.

How long does it take you to go through your vacation pictures? Is anyone dreaming about a vacation right now?

graduation season continues

Remember how I'm in the midst of graduation season? My littlest sister-in-law finished up her undergrad degree a few weeks ago, and Jake is completing his medical residency at the end of June. We attended his department's annual graduation dinner on Friday. Many people assume that this transition is nothing but exciting. In reality, it's extremely bittersweet and pretty surreal. Becoming a doctor is a long journey. We've been fortunate to have a great support network of family and friends in Milwaukee but many friends are moving on for fellowships and jobs and we're losing the built-in social structure that comes with residency. As such, I'm not really sure what this next stage of life is going to look like.

Anyway, with that being said, both sets of parents were able to attend the dinner, which was really nice. I do have some pictures of the event itself, but I'm sharing our family pictures here today.

Is it still graduation season for anyone else right now?

urban wildlife

This month I rented a couple lenses (for fellow DSLR users who are interested: this and this) mainly for some big events. As some of you know, this month didn't exactly go as planned, but I've still gotten good use out of the equipment. Last week I spent some time with my camera in a local park and captured some urban wildlife. Those who live in more remote areas may laugh at my findings, but they're big news for us city folks.

What have you been photographing lately?

reliving Disney memories - Magic Kingdom

As some of you may remember, Jake and I took a trip to Orlando in January. I posted my first round of pictures from the Magic Kingdom and Epcot over here. I'm still going through vacation pictures and am posting another set from the Magic Kingdom today.

Memorial Day weekend wanderings

We were blessed with some beautiful weather over Memorial Day weekend this year, and it was great to get out and enjoy it. In an effort to keep taking our friend Aaron to some of the best places in Milwaukee before he moves to Montana in July (you can read more about that here), we went to the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and Lake Park.

 

For those of you in the US, what did you do over Memorial Day weekend this year?
