| A Beautiful Summer Evening (June 25th) |
Greetings, my fellow readers! 😊 Finally, here is the third post in my Snapshots series! The main reason it took me so long is that I had to finish sorting through all of my 2018 pictures and upload them to OneDrive...
In May 2018, I got a new camera for my birthday (which I am forever grateful for). You will notice that my pictures (at least most of them) are of a higher quality than before. Therefore, it became much harder for me to choose less than 50 favourites... (Don't worry, there are less than 30 pictures in this post).
I also wanted to note that in 2018, my family and I welcomed several new animals to the family (a box turtle and three kittens). I had several very good and adorable pictures of them, including our three guinea pigs who we already had at that point. But I decided not to include them in this post to not make it overly long. I could create a separate post for them though, if some of you are interested? 🙂
Anyway, several of these pictures were taken around my house (we live in a rural area), but the majority were taken during two separate trips that my family and I made in June and August. We stayed at a ranch in the mountains (I'm not going to say exactly where) and I took pictures of the surrounding nature and the two kitties (Ms. Kitty and Fester) who lived there at the time. Enjoy!
