Last night I helped Steve with a light-painting image he was working on out in our meadow, and the pictures he got were really amazing...at one point he stopped to take a picture of the rising moon and when he put his pictures up, I howled because his images both include the constellation of Orion! I've always wanted to take some night sky images so I was pretty envious to see these shots. www.flickr.com/photos/steves-visions/with/6834019113/ He offered to go out and help me take some of my own, and this is one of them! I hope you like it!! (two others follow this picture!)

Today also marks a special anniversary for Steve and I. A year ago today, we stopped playing World of Warcraft forever. (we were total addicts for about 5 years) My, how things have changed!!

I've uploaded two other images today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
