This past weekend we were invited to head up to Prescott with our good friends Brenna and Nate.  The weekend was perfect – we were able to get out of the Phoenix heat and enjoy each other’s company.

These images were taken with a Canon Powershot S100 (point and shoot with manual mode and opens up to F/2), so they are less than stellar from my DSLR.  It is however a decent point and shoot if you want to do creative backlighting.  I like being able to control how light my images are without the camera deciding for me so this camera for me is a great and light alternative from my 5D Mark III and all my lenses.

The view from their top cabin deck:

A little hike to a fire tower to take advantage of the great weather, see the cabin from the view from the top?

You could say I like brights. I bought my hot pink capri pants from a Groupon Goods special, for $14 including S&H! And then this giant butterfly flew towards me and landed on my leg thinking I was a flower!

At the top of the fire tower talking to Susie and watching a handful of hummingbirds eat.

What’s a cabin weekend without can shooting with a BB and air pellet gun?  We had four targets on tree branches and lots and I thought I got all but I think I only shot the three closest.

It was a perfect weekend with great fellowship and we had so much fun going to downtown Prescott and antiquing!  What an amazing spot to find some great treasures – I found my first Jadeite item, a big mixing bowl for just $18!

Diana Elizabeth is now wrapping up the last few days in San Diego with Sony Electronics.  She is really excited to tell you what she did and all the cool products she got to tinker with and take home!
