Sweet Candice

My friend Candice is graduating high school in a month.
We had some serious fun shooting all over Camp Verde!









This is the one where Candice saw a lizard and tried to run away. I say, lizard scares make the most spectacular poses!















These shots were taken on the side of a very hilly road. I took pictures, Candice looked amazing and kept an eye out for psycho killer drivers.



I told Candice she should choose modeling as a career.







All I could do was yell and scream in excitement of these shots!







!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Candice, thanks for all the fun and congratulations to you!

Prepare yourself.

This is the day I met the best slide ever. I was having a Charlie Brown dress up day (hence the blue beanie).




At a teacher training in Clarkdale (the cutest small town ever), Heather, Em, and I found the best slide. IN. THE. WORLD.




I seriously rode on it 100 times.



Even face first!









I think Em liked the slide too.




But not as much as me. All I can think about is going down this slide. Next weekend!!!

I love fall.

A few posts in your near future:

ALL LOVE,

Ellen C.

all this beauty; you might have to close your eyes.

I think I forgot to mention it, but I moved. To a small town.

Camp Verde, AZ to be exact. Andiloveit.

Let me tell you why.

1. Wide open spaces.

Only 3,000 people live in Camp Verde.




This is the view from the backyard. I live with my aunt and uncle on 1 1/2 acres.



2. I see more animals than people.




This is Horse. I have no idea what his name is, but he is sweet. I scratch his head every evening on my walk. There are three other horses and some goats I visit on my walk, but I will tell you about them another day.




3. The storms. We have monsoons, or torrential summer rains with thunder and lightning. The tell tale sign of an impending storm is this creeking wind mill. It is so beautiful outside after it rains.

4. Abundant fresh produce everywhere.



Everyone thinks Arizona is 100% nasty desert. It's not true, people. I live in a green beautiful farming community with fresh produce everywhere. I pick grapes and apples on my daily walk. I go by the farms to pick my own tomatoes, onions, and garlic.

In case anyone was wondering, I'm never moving back.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to drop by Hauser and Hauser Farms to pick some corn for Sunday dinner.


Much love,

Ellen
