Four of the Six White Horses

While the girls were lining up their horses, I managed to get a shot of 4 of them.  I love the expressions on the girl's faces.  They look like they're having a great time.

Decor in a Coffee Shop

My fave coffee shop has a wall that separates one seating section from another and on the back side of the wall are these 4 portraits.  

No names, but the photos are retro and are so sweet to look at.  Young people today will never know the joy of looking back at old photos of their family and friends.

Very sad.

Wurstfest

I took this photo about 2 years ago in New Braunfels, Texas during their Fall wurst fest.  These guys were more than glad to pose for the photo.

Downtown Church

I had my wide angle lens on the camera and got this image of this downtown church.  No indication about what kind of church it is, but the street view is beautiful.

Kids on a Trampoline

I have permission to post this image.  I saw these 4 littles playing on the trampoline and I asked them to stand in a line and jump when I gave the signal.  The littlest one kept landing on her bottom as the others were jumping.  She didn't seem too upset, and the others were having great fun showing off for me and my camera.

Oil Silos

Driving north in Texas we came upon these oil silos next to an oil drilling field.  There were no

"No Trespassing" signs so we were able to get close for pictures.

Window Enclosures 

I saw these window openings from an angle and though they looked really nice graphically.

My heart is happy that:

I had the chance to have coffee and conversation with a friend today

Abandoned Grain Elevator

Cross Plains, Texas.  I don't think I've ever seen abandoned grain elevators before.  

I'm grateful for:

cooler temperatures

Place Settings

  

Many of the eating establishments that I explored this morning had outdoor seating. This one had 

napkin-wrapped place settings on each table and I thought it looked so inviting. It's so interesting to see how each business creates a welcoming environment for their patrons.

My heart is grateful for:

creativity and imagination

Classic Books

These books are in my personal library.  I've read them all and I love them all.

Anna Karenina was a tough one.  I read it years ago, but recently someone in my book group picked it and she suggested we do it as a two-part series.  Everyone agreed. So we had a discussion of the first part one month, then the second part was the following month.  That worked out pretty well and

everyone liked it.

If there's one in this group you haven't read, I recommend that you read it soon.

Just my opinion.

My heart is grateful for:

good literature and even not-so-good literature at times
