Spring Photo Shoot

I love our backyard. When we bought our house, I instantly started dreaming up all the parties I could host there. Bonfires, sledding parties, picnics, camp outs, and slip-n-slides, oh my. I love the view of the pond, It is adjacent to our neighbors back yards so it feels secluded and peaceful. 

     Last fall I decided to take our tri-pod out there and take some family photos in the backyard just for fun. We grabbed my great grandma's quilt, a hay bale, and the neighbor's pond made the perfect backdrop. 

We decided to continue the backyard photo fun in the winter when the snow was beautiful on the trees. This photo looks like it is photo shopped. I promise it isn't, because I barely know how to rotate a photo. 

This morning we were cleaning up the backyard from our bonfire party last night and the weather was so amazing. We took the opportunity to snap a few spring pictures. This backdrop is the north side opposite of the pond. I had hung some old windows in our trees for a fun party backdrop at the bonfire last night. Here is a group picture from the bonfire last night! We had an awesome time hanging with some of our favorite people. Good friends are a treasure. 

Since the windows were still out there this morning, I couldn't resist.  I think they turned out pretty cute.  

Now maybe I can update some of the empty photo frames that I have hanging on my wall. :)   Stay tuned for our summer backyard photos!
