3 Roses Tearoom | Denton, TX

It has been a while since I have done a Foodie Friday post. One thing I think all of us forget is the places that are localish to us aren’t for others. In addition it is always good to remember that there are wonderful things in our own backyards. We don’t have to spend a

Winter Hiking I do have film photos from this hike, but with the holidays I have delayed getting them developed. That being said, I really enjoyed how these turned out. iPhones portrait mode works surprisingly well for plants. Safe travels, leave no trace, and get outside.

Pilot Knoll Trail on 35mm

Independent Bookstore: Arts & Letters

I was in Granbury, TX recently and while exploring the Granbury square realized they had a bookstore that I hadn’t been too yet. Arts & Letters is an adorable independent bookstore that I could have explored a whole lot longer if I had had the time. Nerd moment, this shop had all the normal book
