Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
I meant to share these photos months ago but the holidays got in the way. Bear and I had a free afternoon and we went for an adventure in Trinity Park in Fort Worth with the camera. Bear was a good boy and was happy to indulge my artistic side for a bit. Trinity Park
Over the summer my husband reviewed the Canon R5 that we upgraded to. My only request was for a macro-lens to go with it. I really love close up photography, maybe I am just channeling some Georgia O’Keeffe vibes. I really got the chance to test out this lens in Nebraska over the summer Previous
This trip was too short but we did get to spend time with friends and family. On top of that I got to cross another state off my list! This is not a state I expected to be able to check off so soon, partly due to the distance. Nebraska was a lot of corn
While visiting Keltin’s brother on our way home we stopped for some local beer at Kinkaider Brewing. This is a great brewery that was started in Omaha, NE. We visited the Grand Island location. The food was just as good as the beer. Our Beer Flight: Devil’s Gap Jalapeno Ale (ABV 4.7%) – I’m not

Tales that have been pasted through the generations, morphed and adapted from older winter holiday traditions. These stories share similar themes:
Yes, the title is mostly correct from our house Texas to Thedford, NE is almost due north with one turn that takes you slightly northwest. No, we did not make this drive all in one day either direction. On the way there we stayed the night with friends in Oklahoma and stayed up way too
