Crayons and 100 dollar bills

I was at one of my old elementary schools yesterday. Woodruff was a good school. I went on the year round schedule there for fifth grade. The outside of the school has these cool crayon pillars everywhere. The school it's self has some great architecture that I doubt I fully appreciated when I went there.The library was open for summer so I was able to go in and look around. I wanted to get a picture of the hundred dollar bill that was in the hallway but I could not find it anywhere. The school has many classroom windows made of those glass blocks and when they built the school a construction worker placed a hundred dollar bill in one of them. I remember many a recess staring at it and plotting how I would get it out and what I would spend it on. I guess when they put in the new gym they got rid of it. A lot of memories came flooding back to me as I walked the halls.

Finding the flock

A cool thing happened yesterday. I have come to the part of Alma were we meet Ammon and he is on his mission to teach the Lamonites. Well it just so happens that there is a field that has a herd of sheep in it with adorable lambs that I have wanted to film. So as Ammon is guarding Lamoni's sheep you get to watch them bleat and run. The Lord is trully blessing me as I take on this project!

Spring has Sprung!

I have been really enjoying stopping to literally smell the roses. I have filmed all the buds as they bloom and the trees and bushes. I only wish I could bottle the smell. This is my most favorite time of year.

the work progresses, slowly

The other day I was up at the Wittier center where they have a very cool park that looks like a castle. When you are up inside you have this great view of the temple. Sadly I have been slacking on the amount of work I have been putting into this project lately. I am still in Alma and I will try to do better.

I thought it was winter...

One day we have snow the next we don't and it goes on and on. I have really been experimenting with different types of textures and vantage points, it has been a lot of fun. I am so happy to be in Alma!

work I hardly knew you...

This week I went over to the building complex I use to work in. There is a very cool pond in between all the buildings there that I filmed most of the chapter in. I use to eat over there or just waste a little time before work. I will have to go back in the spring when the lily pads bloom because it is so very pretty. This is now were most of my nieces go to school so it is all the more special to me.

Flooded

So we have been having lots of severe rain lately and it has really messed up the roads and ditches not to mention the basement. I am told it has not been this bad since 1985. Well it's documented in here now. I am trying to juggle doing this with my workouts and all the other things going on. In other words I need to step it up.
