- During our first vacation together, my husband and I discovered a secluded beach in Costa Rica with a dark sandbar that stretched a half-mile into the ocean. After going for a swim, my husband sat carefully, trying not to get too sandy. When he stood up, a small part of the beach went with him.

- My family and I were visiting my grandparents so they could see my sister's newborn for the first time. While I was in the living room my dad called me into their room really quick to take a picture of my grandpa doing my grandma's hair before I missed it. It wasn't until I was about to take the picture when I noticed their wedding picture(painting) in the background, so I stepped back to fit it in and it came out great. This picture was taken on February 12, 2012 and she passed away April 12, 2012. My grandparents were married a little over 50 years.

- As our safari vehicle followed 3 lionesses closely, we didn't realize what they were doing....hunting. There were at least 200-300 wildebeast waiting along the banks of the Mara River to cross over, however once a wildebeast looked over its shoulder, chaos erupted. The ground below us shook like an earthquake, dust clouds formed from the constant thumping from the panic escape of the wildebeast, and the lionesses waited in striking position. Two young lionesses, and a pregnant one, pictured here, surrounded the wildebeast for what was a successful escape and an unsuccessful hunt.
