Every time I get to go and take photos for a property, I always come across beautiful flowers. Yesterday was no exception. I did a virtual tour for a customer who had the most incredible back yard with so many gorgeous flowers growing everywhere! I only wish that I had the time to get my yard into this condition! I was amazed at what a wonderful job the owner had done picking the array of blossoms and the perfect way that she had arranged them through out the yard.

This is one of the largest roses I have ever seen! The colors were so perfectly blended on the petals that I just had to take a picture.

I also thought that the yellowish peach color of the flowers below was very pretty. I love all flowers so I thought that I would share their beauty with all of you! I love how full the blossoms are with petals.

The flowers below were really bright yellow and really stood out in the garden with the greenery that they were planted around. I was amazed at what a wonderful garden it was. I was so pleased to get to walk through it at my leisure and photograph whatever I wanted. It is one of the best parts of my job. It hardly feels like work! It feels more like a privilege!

They also had a really cool arbor that looked like a spiderweb. It was very unique and quite creative. It really fit in well with the back yard and I want to have my husband make one for me. Check it out below...

They also had a nice water feature landscaped into the garden which is seen below, with a nice sitting area off to the side. It was very tranquil and quite fragrant and a complete joy to be in!

On our websites Links page I have placed buttons to get to our Facebook Fan Page. There you will find many of the other photos that I have taken over the last few years. There is a wide variety as I love to photograph just about anything that I find of interest, fun, or beautiful.

I had the opportunity to spend the Memorial Day weekend in the Tri Cities area, (Kennewick, WA),at our youngest son's baseball tournament. It was a rainy and stormy day the first day, (Friday), of the tournament. Saturday was quite different. Our first game was at a very early hour, game time at 7:50 am with an arrival time for warm ups at 7:00am! It was nice to be there for the National Anthem as the boys on the field lined the 1st and 3rd base lines with their hats off and right hands over their hearts.

As the games were underway, we looked up to the sky which was clearing off for a warm and sunny afternoon, to see the clouds painted with the beautiful colors of the rainbow. I was able to grab my camera and capture this array of colors to share with all of you. I have never seen the clouds painted with color the way they were that day. I have witnessed many gorgeous sunsets, but this was in the middle of the afternoon. I have seen many rainbows, but never seen the clouds show the colors like this.

When I looked up again, I was able to capture the photo below. It was pretty to see in person, but I hope that these photos will allow your mind to picture the sky full of colorful beauty.

The entire baseball complex was a buzz about the colorful array in the sky. Many people tried to photograph the colors, but were unable to get them to appear on their photo. You could only see them with your sunglasses on, so I raced to my gear and quickly put my "sunglasses" on my lens. The results were beautiful!!!

The boys played hard and we all had a great time. I took about 350 photos over the weekend. After many home runs, barbeques, and swimming, we drove home and arrived last night with wonderful memories of a spectacular weekend and fun with our children. I hope you all had as great a holiday weekend as I!!!

Flowers! Flowers! Flowers!! When I endure all of the April Showers... I know that May will bring lots of flowers!!! This is a collection of different unique and beautiful flowers that I have captured on film this year. When the sky is gloomy and the rain is near, I have to remind myself... Spring is almost here!!!

I am always amazed at all of the different shapes, sizes, and colors that flowers come in. I am curious as to how many different types there are in the world. When ever I go on a trip, I love to take photos of the flower varieties that I come across. Just when I think that I have seen them all, I come across another type that I have never encountered.

Some are so strange, but yet, so gorgeous. Some look frosted with crystals, and some are frosted with pollen.

Some are whispy, while others have petals that are clumped together. The plethora amazes me!!

Some grow alone, while others grow in clusters.

Just about where ever you travel, we are met with spring time beauty!

Some are even shaped like stars!

Flowers... Oh how I love them all!!!

I don't know what God was thinking about when he made them, but he sure made me happy!

Natural beauty at it's best!!

Spring is upon us so soak up the beauty!!!

Circle Shot Media had the pleasure of photographing a 17 acre ranch and home this week. It is located in the Woodland area of Washington state. The sun was shining and the temperature was warm. As we drove up into the country, I couldn't help but think of how nice it would be to live in the area surrounded by all of the beauty around us. Every bend in the road brought another beautiful sight. Flowers in bloom, streams shimmering in the sun, and red tail hawks flying over our heads.

The property is located at 418 NW Hayes Road, Woodland, Washington 98674. It is located next to the Lewis River which is pictured below. What a beautiful area!

This ranch home is located toward the back of the acreage and is settled in just right so that you look out of the kitchen and bedroom windows at the beautiful mountain scenery. What a relaxing place to live. The beauty is quite tranquil.

The interior of the home is very open and gives it a nice spacious feel. The photo below is of the kitchen area that looks out towards the mountains.

As you walk out of the kitchen, you walk onto a large deck with a hot tub. Just beyond the hot tub to the left is a fenced in swimming pool equipped with a roll out cover which is shown below.

The home has an open feel to it which I really liked. The track lighting over the dining area gave it a nice touch.

On the left of the dining area, there is a large living room with a beautiful fireplace, and large windows that look out at the mountain side as well.

Looking at the photo above you can see an office in the distant right upper corner. It has beautiful glass doors and is located just inside the front door of the house. It overlooks the large green pasture and has a beautiful wood floor as shown in the picture below.

This home has 3 bedrooms and 2 & 1/2 bathrooms. Two of the rooms have a bathroom attached which makes life nice!!

Below is the bathroom which is where I took the above picture from.

Both of the bedrooms with the attached bathrooms look out towards the mountain side scenery. Below is the master bedroom and bathroom. The recessed lighting really lights up the room nicely and give the room a modern look along with the crown molding.

The attached bathroom also has the recessed lighting which flows nicely with the bedroom.

The picture below is what you look at when looking out the office window. The entire pasture is a part of this beautiful property.

As you walk out towards the barn, there is a nice covered area to park under. Just beyond the covered parking area is the livestock area. Below is the private drive and covered parking area with the barn and stable area in the background.

This ranch has a huge stable with florescent lighting and lots of stalls for livestock. The photos below are of the barns and stable areas.

This is the front side of the stable area. This stable is fully equipped for horse boarding or live stock and has several stalls on each side.

The area below is in between the two sides of stalls and is quite large for hay and equipment storage.

Below is the covered riding arena. It is very large and It really made me want to go horse back riding! It is in great shape and is very clean.

This is the back side of the stable with another full row of stalls. Each stall has a dry erase board to place boarding information for the horses or other livestock.

Below is a closer look at one of the many stalls in the stable. I would absolutely love to own this property!!!

Here is a look at what the stalls look like on the inside. They have been very well kept and are ready to move new livestock into today!

The property has a total of 3 riding arenas for use. The outdoor arenas are shown below. The first arena shown is HUGE!!

The second arena, shown below, is for breaking horses and is located across from the large outdoor riding arena.

Just before you come to the outdoor arenas, you will see an out building that has a horse tie up and inside there is a laundry/mudroom/bathroom that is fully operational.

The photo below is the inside of the out building shown above.

The photo below was taken from the main driveway up to the house. The house is in the middle of the picture where the tree line begins.

The property was huge and absolutely beautiful. I could imagine the stables full of horses and with livestock out in the various pastures. It was a joy to be out in the country and spending time on the ranch. Someone will be very happy when they purchase this fully operational ranch. I know I would love it!!!
