Vision Trip: Part 4 Photos
November 15, 2012
These photos were all taken by Nicole and she was generous enough to share them with me with full permission to use them here. Nicole is an awesome photographer and I encourage you all to visit her blog or her photography site and if you’re ever in need of a photographer while in Edmonton, Alberta, look her up!
Meanwhile, enjoy these shots. They are a mix of personal family shots, really awesome shots of Africa, and a few repeats of mine done much better. And, if only I could have left them at their original size (10-20MB EACH, ya’ll), but sadly, I had to take them pretty far down and it still took nearly two hours to upload them all…on a good day, no less.

The Lind Family 
Thanks for posting these wonderful photos. I did not think that monkey was tame. I guess Lisa you just have a calming effect on little ones.
Fantastic Images. Thank you for sharing!
