Two things we came to realize yesterday:
-You cannot find waterfalls in Texas during the summer. They don't exist.
-We are getting entirely way too law abiding in our old age.

I have quite a few pictures of both.

( +many. )

( Five more photos - two of cotton & three more of horses. )

( Three pictures below cut... )

Went to a Halloween party at a friends house...the sunset is always amazing.

( Two photos of sunsets. )

With the purpose of founding a monastery and a German Catholic Colony, Carmelite Monks, in 1881, began the first Catholic Church between Fort Worth and El Paso. The adobe and brick monastery was completed in 1884, and St. Joseph's Church in 1885.

Sisters of Divine Providence opened a short-lived school in 1887. It was reopened in 1894 by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1897, the Carmelite Monks disbanded and sold the property to the Sisters of Mercy. They operated a convent and academy until abandonment in 1938 (due to a tornado on June 11, 1938). All that remains are the dormitory, ruins of the other buildings and the cemetery.


( Two pictures of the Convent + 1 of a windmill. )

Some shots while we were in vacation. ( Lots of photos... )

Alright, kevo295 was the third person to nudge me this week. (Which is odd beings that he has seen most of my photos in my normal journal. Ha.)

I did my first photo shoot mid April. With my best friend Amanda her husband Steven and their 9 month old son Texas.

( Four photos from the shoot. )

I was trying to prepare shooting people for the a wedding I was supposed to shoot in Mississippi.

It has been a long time since I've posted in here...life was super-duper crazy.

But, if you still wanted to check out a few of my photos - here are three places they are at.

My Project 365 Blogspot.

My DeviantArt page.

Or even my photos on Myspace.

I am going to start posting things in here again...so...yea. :)

Not quite "man behind the mask" but I am the woman behind the lens.

Wow...so it has been damn near two months since I have updated this thing. I have been so busy with babysitting my (step) neice that I just don't have time to update this.

( This post is gonna be HUGE...17 photos total. )

With every photo I take, I grown and learn more.

My husband likes this one because you can see the line of electrical poles.


See it larger)

( Same photo but a little different. )

My husband bought me a new camera today.

These are just a few test shots from when I first got it.

Project 365 - Two weeks down. (You can view it at Flickr or Blogspot.) On Blogspot, I do believe you can leave comments, if you want.

I've been doing Project 365 for an entire week....wanna check it out? Here is the link. Click me!

( One photo )

I haven't posted here in ages. I've started doing Project 365...but on another site. If you want to keep track of it, here it is. I'm thinking about making weekly posts in here of my progress. Not sure though.

Anyway.


I took quite a few photos when I was at work with Beau tonight.

( Plus 2 more non 365 photos. )

Out of all the photos I took this weekend, only 4 were decent. *makes a mental note to not take photos when the wind is blowing*

( +4 )

Went to San Angelo this past weekend for a wedding...

Gotta love homemade food made from scratch! :)

Have you ever been this close to buffalo? I kept thinking (  Oh my god, these things can totally fuck me up!  )

Photos of flowers - or weeds...whichever you want to go ( with. )

I don't even know the last time I actually took ( photos. )

Some of my plants bloomed so I took ( photos. )

( Plus many many more. )

When a place that is abandoned does not have a no trespassing sign posted, what do you do? (I would imagine even if it didn't have no trespassing signs up, it would still be trespassing.)

A) Crawl through the window (the place is safe, I wouldn't be falling through floors and ceilings won't fall on top of me.)
B) Do some hardcore research (tax accessors might know) to find out who is the owner.
C) Give up. Either option won't work out right.

I want in this building. I have read in a few "haunted stories" that this is an insane asylum but I cannot find ANYTHING about Odessa ever having an insane asylum.

( +four of myself. )

It is amazing what cakes, cupcakes, muffins and cookies taste like when they are made from scratch.

I have never liked Devil's Food until these...oh.my.lord. They are amazing. On the ones with frosting, you cannot tell where the frosting stops and the cupcake starts! They are so soft & so moist.



( +3 under cut. )

( +4 under cut. )

(I think things will get much better whenever I get a better camera instead of my 2 MP.)

Me & my husband went to El Paso to visit my sister for her 25th birthday.

( +28 photos. )

Alright. So, it was good...but I definitely think you *have* to like lime flavors to enjoy it. You can feel in the back of your throat the lime and it definitely has a strong after taste of lime, but it was okay all around.

Like I said, I think this cheesecake is only for the ones who like lime flavors.



( Plus one more. )

(Okay, let me ramble a lot for a second: The "back drop" is my wrinkled table cloth (I usually iron them before putting them on the table, but I hadn't gotten to that part of my day yet.) I was fooling around in the kitchen this morning making Key Lime Cheesecake, Banana Nut Bread and Lemon Tea when I threw my table cloth onto the stove (see icon, 1948 O'Keefe & Merritt Gas Stove) so I could have something softer than the bright ass white enamel of the stove. I think these would work great in a light box, maybe it will get rid of the shadows. I'm not really happy with them because of the table cloth...that one specific part where it has a huge wrinkle is very distracting. But - I was just experimenting & I learned a lesson!)
