I woke to a Winter Wonderland, Central Texas style (translation: an inch or so of snow) Not quite enough to cover the rocks, but hey, you northern people, don't laugh! It's like icing on a cake, and you know, icing makes everything taste better! Or in this case, look better… and also justifies freezing our…

Do you remember the photo above from way back in the fall, before my camera smacked the concrete and all I had for weeks was my zoom lens with which to capture images of Long Hollow? Well, last weekend, if you remember, my fabulous "I-can-fix-anything" husband fixed said broken lens, the one that allowed…

"For Sale", the new sign says, and oh my gosh, why haven't I finished my book and become a millionaire yet so I could buy this property? It's posted in front of 'the park', one of our favorite walk destinations, and, yes, I did snap a photo of the sign for some strange reason, but no,…

Today I'm just living, as in focusing on each moment, especially the good ones, and not letting myself get swept away into the next one too quickly. It's been a crazy, snowball week with lots of emotional ups and downs and too many hours away from home. I've lit three candles in the church in…

Because of Thanksgiving, I missed posting my Friday Favorite Photo last week, so I think it's only fitting that I post one from that holiday weekend today…and since today is my oldest son's 25th birthday, I think it's only fitting that I post one of him. This was my favorite, hands down, that fit both…

Autumn hasn't finished moving in…one glance down the Hollow and you'll see plenty of green mixed with the golds and oranges, and I'm not talking about the leaves on evergreen junipers or live oaks. However, this morning Winter reminded Autumn its days are numbered in the form of a light frost…sort of a white sticky…
