Exploring Williams, Az – Day Two

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

I didn’t realize that I would end up being MIA from my blog for nearly a week. I planned on blogging through our camping vacation in Williams, but the internet decided not to cooperate. lol! That means that I’m playing a bit of catch up this week with my posts.. On our second full day in Williams, Daddy decided that he wanted to head back out and hit some trails. Our destination this time was White Horse Lake. We spent part of the time on paved roads to get to the trails leading back to the lake. Munchkin and I…

PHOT-001: Food Photography by Sony Final Thoughts

Posted in Photography

It’s hard to believe that I’m wrapping  up my final week of my food photography class through Social Fabric University.

The Making of a KTM Dual Sport Bike

Posted in Family, and In the Garage

D sadly said goodbye to his Yamaha dirt bike after the back surgeries as he knew that he wouldn’t be able to ride for some time. He also knew that he eventually wanted to have a dual sport bike (primarily off-road, but also street legal), and he couldn’t convert his particular Yamaha to make this happen. We set aside the money from his old bike, and he began some serious research during his down time to see what he wanted. Ultimately, he bike of choice was a KTM. The problem? A new bike was well out of the price range…
