Almost weekly, I participate in a photography challenge called Monochrome Madness. Once a month a theme is added to the challenge. This month the theme was “road”. I was excited about the theme because I seem to photograph lots of roads and because I recently saw a road I thought would be perfect. The Road … Continue reading

Fishing Under the Bridge Buck Creek at Lake Ray Roberts, Texas It’s so hot in Texas, you can only fish if you can find some shade. We’ve only had a few days with 100 degree temps; but our “feels like” temperature has been at 105+ for several weeks. Needless to say, I was surprised to … Continue reading

Cow Country We lived in the flat plains of the Panhandle before. You could literally see for miles and miles. It wasn’t unusual to see herds of … Continue reading
Our grands love coming out to our new house at the lake. They are experiencing all sorts of new things. Several weekends ago, we planted strawberries in a vertical planter. Each boy planted strawberries in 2 rows that are “their” plants. They learned how to remove the plant from the pot, dig the right size … Continue reading
This is a photo of my oldest grandson and my hubby planting strawberries. Hubby was teaching the grands how to take the plants out of the little containers without tearing up the roots. It was such a sweet moment that I took several photos. I loved this close up of their hands with the dirt … Continue reading

And of course, I ended up bringing them home. They are now sitting on our porch for our daily enjoyment. Sunshine Petals Digital … Continue reading
