I've had a bad attitude the last few days. I have found that it helps to stop and appreciate the small things when I start feeling "a little off". The wild flowers are EVERYWHERE after all the rain we have had. I love them, despite my insane allergies.

Up close, they are even more fantastic. Apparently, I'm not the only one enjoying them.

One of my favorite things about Texas are the sunsets. They make me think of that Willie Nelson song..."Mendicino County Line". I don't know why.

I spent Sunday afternoon taking pictures of models in the stockyards. It was a LOT of fun. I met nice people and I wasn't so nervous taking pictures this time. I got a few good shots and I love the stockyards. I can't believe I've never been there before! I'm thinking about taking my own "models" out there. I have a couple of cute nieces that would be pretty models!

I'm super excited...I just ordered a new lens! It should be here by the end of the week and I can't wait to break that bad boy in!
