rain puddles...

this past sunday me, tina, the twins and emy and a friend of ours went on a hike in the nature center by our house, i never knew something so beautiful was only 4 and 53 seconds away from our house. (yes, we timed it) it had just finished rainy and was kinda cloudy out but it was a lot of fun..i took a couple pictures but here's just one that i edited a little bit..i cross processed it and sharpened it...it may be a little much but...whatever. its the reflection of the sky and the little branches over a puddle...

life...

me and tina in arrowhead, and sledding in brianhead with jess. aunt tracy took the sledding one...
Babysitting the pen kids...

I've thought about adding a signature to my photos but i'm not sure yet. people have taken my pics before and put them up on different sites, and i think it would be good to have people know i took them...i've tried some different things...alyssa anne photography just doesn't sound right. here's an example

winter break 09-wrong picture

i posted earlier, but i put up the wrong pic and then exited. this is the one i wanted to put up...haha
this is what i wrote...i finally decided that i needed to post something...and here i am trying to figure out where the heck do i start? this past month has been so incredibly busy that i can barely remember everything that has gone on. since my last post, i have been to Lake Arrowhead for a week with the fam, up to my cousins, and then on to Brianhead, Utah with them for their skiing trip-which was an absolute blast. and somewhere before all that four christmas parties and a ton of christmas shopping somehow fit in there too. it has gone by so fast. over the past couple of weeks i have been with my aunt, who is an amazing photographer, and going back to my own pictures is like coming back to california on fire after being in new zealand for two weeks. anyways, although i cant wait to get a new camera, i'll still be posting every once in awhile despite this being the second semester, which may get kinda crazy.

random pic-kate penberthy, her hair is totally in her face but i think its cute...
