My Pictures: photography in training

I'm been working on my photography... still have a lot to learn.  It's hard not to want to pick up a camera when I live in such a beautiful place.  North Idaho is beautiful and this Idaho girl loves her state.  We have so many lakes around us and a river right through town with a dam.  We have Ponderosa pine trees and wildflowers.  Then on the other side, we are a large prairie valley with farms and ranches.  We have kinda a little bit of everything even beaches. With 4 seasons, my favorite being springtime.. North Idaho is a nature's paradise and many come here for the beauty.  Of course, I'm a mom so taking pictures of my kids and our dogs are on the list of my favorite subjects.
