Hemisfair Plaza

Some of the beautiful landscaping and water displays found in Hemisfair Plaza in downtown San Antonio, Texas.

Vendors Cart

While in SanAntonio on Saturday, we saw this cute little vendors cart. I love downtown SanAntonio. There is always SO MUCH TO SEE!!!

Trail Thru Lost Maples State Park

I love this picture of Riley as she walked ahead of us on one of the trails through Lost Maples State Park on Saturday. It was so quiet and peaceful!!!

Face to Face with a Longhorn

On Saturday while hiking up the trail at Lost Maples State Park, we reached the top of the "hill" (which felt more like a mountain) and up there where it leveled off we met this big guy. He didn't seem too bothered by us. I really wanted to get up close enough to get this shot, but with no fences in between me and him... yea, slightly scarey.

I assured my husband that if I saw the bull getting up, I could outrun him at least past my mom and my husband... and then he'd be THEIR problem, not mine. =0)

Geese In Flight

While out driving one evening, I happened to see these flying over while I was sitting at a stoplight. I grabbed my camera and got the shot off just before they flew over our car. Very pretty flight pattern, huh?

Moss On A Stick

While in Lost Maples State Park on Tuesday, we saw lots of moss-covered sticks. The moss is a super bright, almost neon color of green. I loved the way this random shot turned out!

Lost Maples State Park

Yesterday we headed up to Lost Maples State Park. There we enjoyed lots of beautiful scenery.

The trees are just beginning to bud out, so it wasn't lush and green like I'm used to, but still - it's a beautiful place to visit! We had an awesome day in the park.

Sunken Gardens

While at Brackenridge Park on Saturday, my hubby and kids also visited the Chinese Tea Garden. This place is a photographers dream, yet I wasn't with them. I was off taking Bridal Portraits. So my husband made sure to take some pretty shots for me of the gardens.

So this picture is compliments of Jason.

A Walk Through Brackenridge Park

My husband, son, and daughter took a trip to Brackenridge Park on Saturday while I was on a photo shoot doing Bridal Portraits. This picture is compliments of my 12-year-old son Cameron.

Last Night's Moon

My mom called me last night from Kerrville, Texas to tell me to go outside and take a picture of the moon. So I grabbed my camera and headed outside to find this. The moon was just a sliver and there was as super bright star right next to it....

Another Masterpiece

I posted these pictures on my Scottsville/family blog a couple of weeks ago, but liked them enough to post them over here, too.


God sure is good at painting MASTERpieces.

Oriental Lanterns

On Valentine's Day, we went to the Tokyo Steakhouse in SanAntonio with friends for a fabulous Valentine's Dinner together. I really liked these cube-shaped lanterns that hung high above us.

They Call It "Puppy Love"

My dogs absolutely NEVER cooperate for pictures. They seem to be afraid of the camera... they don't understand it. But in their shyness the other day, they huddled together as if to say "Together, that camera-thing-a-ma-jiggy can't hurt us!"

Meet Cooper and Chloe.

Cooper is our Golden Retriever and Chloe is a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix. We adopted both of them from the Humane Society when they were just pups.

Strange Light

While out driving on my lunchbreak, I found this beautiful field of REALLY tall trees, and the way the sun shone through the treetops made me stop.

Well, when I got back home and started going through the pictures, I found this frame with the weird light in the bottom half of the picture. I'm sure it's just a glare off the lens or something, but I still found it interesting. I like the little rainbow umbrella that seems to float atop the light.

And here is that portion up close. I did not alter the picture in any way. You can click on it to see it full-sized.


I know: "just a glare" but a pretty one none-the-less!

Big Shoes To Fill

Daddy has big feet. Size 13's to be exact. So my boys have some big shoes to fill!

Actually, Mathew's already tied with Daddy...
and Cameron's gaining on him SUPER FAST!
Robert's done growing at a size 11, I believe.

Mathew, Jason, Robert, & Cameron

Happy Birthday, Robert!
