Wild Horses

The highlight of our trip to the Outer Banks was a sunset jeep ride to see wild horses.

{see the horses on the beach over Ikey's shoulder?!}

i had fun trying to adjust the shutter speed on the camera to get the effects i wanted...

AND LOOK AT THIS!!!  it's a wild mare nursing her foal as the sun set behind them...almost to beautiful to bear.

it really was breath taking...i am so thankful to GOD for his glorious creation.

Jones Gap

it finally happened! i finally got matt to take me back to Jones Gap State Park!

it rained on us...but that did not ruin our fun.

these are the very steps that i walked down in my white dress over 12(!) years ago...

i got a few shots of everybody playing in the rain before the battery died in my camera.

this was SUCH a needed break for me...i won't go into details but i have been battling discouragement for weeks now. please continue to keep praying for relief for me if you think of it...

i love the light in this one.

something about this place makes me feel rooted...this is where matt and i would go for picnic dates and hikes before we married. i love it so much.

another favorite of the day..
