Long Hollow

I'm so grateful my friend Lisa asked me to take some photos of her colts last year, and that I went kind of crazy, snapping away at all of the horses in the pasture, because on Tuesday I was Huffington Post's Featured Fifty Fine Artist, all because of that beautiful horse up there.

That pretty much topped my sweet! list this week, but I did find quite a few more…

Sunday: new flowers blooming in the Hollow; a marriage proposal at a winery; a family joining hands in prayer before eating

Monday: having an elliptical when your beloved treadmill dies (and a husband who can find exercise equipment cheap on Craig's List); a note from a customer letting you know how pleased she is with the photographs she bought from you; arriving at your first real estate class across town on time

Tuesday: your old puppy snuggling with you after your morning walk; hearing the original version of "Last Kiss"; being selected as one of Huffington Post's Featured Fifty Fine Artists

Wednesday: hopeful buds on your crape myrtle; a classmate bringing "Pakoda", an Indian treat, for everyone to try (fried cabbage – yummy!); making 100 on your final exam; one course down, five to go for your license; fireworks on the horizon as you drive home

Thursday: celebrating your country's birthday; carriage rides around a vineyard at sunset; fireworks from a hilltop

Friday: a day at home to play catch-up; making it through the week with a dying car battery without getting stranded; your husband replacing the dying battery with a young, vigorous one

Saturday: capturing a photo of a camera-shy cardinal, despite his best effort; a long-overdue trip to the grocery store

I hope you captured plenty of sweet!s this past week, and spot even more in the week ahead!
