April 22... beautiful nature.

Just a few more photos to share..

A picture can be worth a thousand words...

I took this photo this evening after my teenage daughter told me she'd purchased a ring and brought it in to show me.  I couldn't wait to set up the little makeshift area and get the 'perfect' photo.  In my eyes, this is pretty close.  :)

A 'purity ring' inscribed with the words "True Love Waits" along with "1 Timothy 4:12" on one side. The side opposite to the inscription is studded with crystals similar to an anniversary band.

A Day in the Life of a Photographer... (at the beach!)

My husband and I have decided... What good is living in such a wonderful state as Texas if you never get out and enjoy it?  So we've been taking a day trip every Sunday to a different location.  This week was Port Lavaca, Tx and Magnolia Beach.  We started out with some "Black's BBQ" in Lockhart, double yum!!  I highly recommend it!

Magnolia Beach isn't very big, for those wondering, but it does allow access to the bay, where the water is a little calmer than it would be if it were right on the Gulf of Mexico.  On the way back home, we stopped in Luling at Mr. Taco and got some of the best Mexican food I've had yet.  The trip took all day, about 6 hours of drive time in total, but it was so worth it.  The kids really enjoyed it and I really enjoyed the family time.
