I miss pine trees....

Yeah, its a pine cone. I miss pine trees. I am also SO ready for the weather to cool down. It is just HOT here. There's no way around it. I'm ready to sit out on our back patio and enjoy supper and a drink. I'm excited about going over to Charlie and Jamie's house and playing with the kiddos in the back yard, grilling out, having a beer, and the guys smoking a cigar. Charlie needs to hurry on home from his trip to ancient Babylon! I'm ready to use our fireplace!!! (which wont be until like january, but still) I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and just Autumn in general. :) SO, I give you, a pine cone for my picture today.

Old truck, old tractor

Another SC picture. I had been meaning to take a picture of this old truck for a while. Finally, one late September day, I drove to where it sits, parked on the side of the road/field, and snapped some photos. The tractor is pretty cool too. I wish I could've gotten closer, but the grass/hay was SO tall and there were fire ants EVERYWHERE! I wish I had taken a pic of the ant hills! LOL

Winter Sunset in SC

Finally, I put up a sunset picture. I have SO MANY, that its hard to decide which one! This was taken from a spot in Chesnee, SC. Its right near where Reeves Brothers Mill is/was. :) It was so gorgeous that I made Kyle stop and I jumped out of the truck and snapped about 10 pics! February 21st, 2009, about a month before we headed to TX.

Maybe I should call it "A-photo-every-3-days..."

This was one of my first Daisies at our house in Boiling Springs, SC. We planted yellow and red ones. And orange starburst Lillies, along the front of the bushes. :) I actually just put my camera down in front of this one and clicked. A pretty cool shot though :)

This is one of my framed pics in my dining area here in TX. Here are how I have those frames arranged...

I took all these pictures too. All except the red daisy and the purple calla lilly were in my mother's-in-law garden. She is a talented lady with her flowers!!

Ah, good ole SC

This photo was taken at Hilton Head Island, SC. We are SC natives and love the state flag, with its Palmetto tree and Crescent moon. And now the vehicle tags are a tree, moon and sunset. They kinda look like a tag from Arizona or somewhere out west. LOL

So much for a photo a day! ;)

HA!

I cant even keep up with one photo a day!! LOL

So, here are two, to make up for missing yesterday. I didnt even think about blogging a pic yesterday. OH WELL....

So this is the view from Stillhouse Hollow Lake Dam. You can drive across the dam. I was absolutely amazed at the beautiful blue water! And the clouds in the sky are like marshmallow puffs :) I just love this pic!





This is a flower in San Antonio on the Riverwalk. Forgive me for not knowing what kind, I just take pictures! LOL I actually have this as my background image on my computer :) In this photo a day, you will notice that I take LOTS of pictures of nature. Whether it be flowers, trees, sunsets, landscapes. I like taking pics of stuff that stay still! ;) I will post pics of the nieces and nephew though, they are my babies! Enjoy!

The First of "A-Photo-a-day"

So, I've decided to start a "A-Photo-a-day" blog. We'll see how long it lasts, but I've taken step one.
This is Rigsby a few days after his second surgery on his leg, back in April 2009. He was in MUCH need of a real haircut. We could only trim around his eyes for about 4 months before this was taken. He still didnt get a real grooming until 2 months after this!! Today he is all better, but that will be a picture for another day. :) Wish me luck on posting "A-Photo-a-day"!!
