Thirsty Thursday: Celebrations

Rambler:  Beth

Drink at Hand: 2011 Noble Vines 446 Chardonnay

Thirsty Thursday here again! Time to pour something yummy and celebrate! What are we celebrating? Today happens to be my dad's birthday, so Welliver Photography is raising a glass to my dad for kicking butt through what's been a tough year, and to my mom for kicking butt right along side him.  

Terry and I are very fortunate to have parents who get along very well. With our families spread across the country, it helps that we can all get together in one place and have a good time on those rare occasions when we get to see one another. Back in May we extended a trip to Colorado to see Terry's parents in Wyoming...and my parents came out from Iowa so we could all be together for a few days! There's always good BBQ, good drinks (margies, wine, beer, whatever), and good laughs.  

This was dad's first trip to Wyoming since becoming a paraplegic, so it was nice for me to see him away from home. He even showed off with a little walking!  

Happy Birthday Dad!  

Everyone else, get out there and celebrate something this weekend!

Thirsty Thursday: Wyoming Skies

Rambler: Beth

Drink at Hand: Lamarca Prosecco

Hey Welliver Photography friends...Thristy Thursday here again. Time to pour something yummy and make those weekend plans! I finished yet another quarter of my MBA earlier this week (hence the prosecco) and finally have time to write a post and share some photos. Even better, I have recent photos to share! 

We spent a little time in Wyoming at the end of May visiting Terry's parents. My parents joined us from Iowa and one evening we found time to go for a drive. We ended up on some random road north of Cheyenne, chasing the last few rays of light in a constantly evolving sky. I'm sure my mom (photo assistant for the evening) was confused by my ADHD scrambling, but at least she's smart enough to avoid the steamy cow pies as we went running across pastures to get the right composition. 

We ended up with some incredible yet fleeting clouds. And some incredible but fleeting color. There for a minute, gone the next. It felt good to be out in my photographic element though. All is right with the world when I'm there, unencumbered by case studies, group papers, accounting problem sets, or the usual work issues.

Smiles. All around. 

In case you want to visit that tree, we were way out on Whitaker Road, northwest of Cheyenne. Or, better yet, get out there and find your own tree and crazy sky this weekend.
