Sunset at Angels Rest

Sunset pic adventure:

On Sunday afternoon, Megan and Adam called and invited us to go hike up Angels Rest, just outside of Portland, overlooking the Gorge.  It was a beautiful Fall day and we had an amazing sunset - well worth the hike.




The leaves are starting to turn.

Beautiful Mary



We made it up and found a great spot to take pics.

As it got dark we watched the lights of Portland come on and a tugboat pushing a barge up river.

Sam is getting really good at manipulating the various settings on Opie to capture a unique exposure.
We hiked back down in the dark and drove back to the city.

Wicky Wedding - Sandpoint, ID

Brian & Kristin's Wedding Weekend
Thursday, September 11, 2014 - Sunday, September 14
Sandpoint, ID

Our humble abode for the 3-day weekend!
The nights were cool, but we were cozy in our sleeping bags and tent.

The Eureka Center was the location for the wedding festivities. It was a neat piece of land tucked in the mountains about 40 minutes outside of Sandpoint, ID. Gorgeous!
Sam and Adam got to get a little riding in on the trails nearby. He sure looks good on his new bike!
Sam was reunited with many of his good friends. We were very happy to see Andy and Newman could make the trip!
The Grand Rapids crew! They are a ton of fun.
Sam entertained us with a few of his magic tricks.
Toasts to Brian!
It's a beautiful day for a wedding.
A group of us headed to the nearest beach, Garfield Bay, off of the huge lake in Sandpoint, ID: Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced: pond-o-ray). It is the largest lake in northern Idaho - and quite refreshing!



Beautiful, colorful rocks everywhere. Found a few keepers, too :)
Big fan of his hat
We may have brought some cold beverages.
It's a heart-shaped rock! Sam found it.
Some flowers from the pretty garden on the site at Eureka.

Great people, great times.
