A Utah State "photo shoot"

I keep telling myself I really need to cut down on the length of my blog posts. I tend to be a little long-winded when it comes to blogging. Who knew? I'm certainly far from long-winded in person. Blogging must be my alter ego. :)

But... the cutting down is going to have to wait for another post because I'm really excited about these pictures. It was a lot of fun to chase Sadie around Utah State's Old Main and it was even more fun to realize that my pictures were actually turning out half-way decent.

Yes, it's weird that I love a campus so much. But, in my defense, I actually have quite fond memories of all my college years. Not to mention I'm a die-hard True Aggie (in all senses of the word :)). AND you have to admit... it's quite beautiful. Especially at sunset. And especially when you've got the world's cutest kid to take pictures of...

Any guesses what she's saying to me in this picture? (hint: it's not "yes")

Ummm... is this not the cutest face, ever? It makes me happy every time I look at it!

So do these ones. She thought Kevin's antics behind me were pretty hilarious.

I have a new taking-pictures-of-flowers obsession.


Pledging allegiance to her future residence of higher education. :)

And last but not least... I recently discovered something called "actions" in Photoshop. Basically, it's a way to apply cool editing effects to your pictures. I tried it on this last shot of the temple taken from up on campus. It's called "vintage." Pretty cool, eh?
