This and that

My new photographer friend showed me an old abandoned hotel where she takes some pictures... a friend wanted to see it so we took Katie and her BFF along for models.

I had ordered the new lens I have been wanting...

Tracking was showing that it was on the truck for delivery...

We were meeting at 6:30.....

The lens still wasn't here....It came right after we left I heard...Darn.

But we still had fun and took a few pics

It was a pretty scary place....Katie went back to the car, the BFF was brave and let us get a few pics... this is one of the first ones where she is still debating how safe we are...

Then she loosened up....

We moved on pretty quickly... We discovered this little strip of trees, a meadow and a little creek...  Here in West Texas where there aren't many trees this is like a little oasis...I was amazed today when we went by there and there were several photographers there... Trees are really special here I guess.

I loved the light coming through the little trees... We were there at the perfect time...

I'm not quite sure what they are doing but I liked the picture...

But then it appears the BFF was turning on here and trying to stab her with a branch...

She might be going through the terrible teens but she's still a keeper...

I copied this idea from somewhere in blog land... loved the peeps in the jar.

I'm having trouble not eating the "Hawaiian punch" jelly beans.  They are really good...The edible grass on the other hand, isn't very flavorful...

Speaking of peeps... I love this little peep show... I need to do it at my house..

Ellie was in terrible need of a new spring hair cut...the only appointment I could get was at 7a.m. today.  On Saturday. 

after...

Elvis was a little jealous

I'm not sure why there was tiara wearing going on but I think she was more surprised I was standing there with a camera when she walked out than I was that she was wearing it... 

I think the attention she got at dinner last night has gone to her head...

We were waiting on a table at a restaurant and a little boy, maybe 6 or 7 kept winking at her and then told his mom "she's pretty"...mom was a little embarressed but dad, not so much... he was very proud of his son...

Never a dull moment with girls, friends and dogs... I love it all...
