Today was the Gymnastics “championships” at the AWTC gym.  Violet showed off her winning moves with a mixture of tumbles, balance, hops, and lots of smiles.   She dominated the 3-yr old blonde field and is the proud owner of her first gymnastics medal and trophy.

I busted out my Lomo-esque lens for my camera and experimented with some low-fi softer shots.  The result is kind of dreamy.

After a tough afternoon of trampling bluebonnets and other wild flowers, the team needed a break.  What’s better than the chocolate dipped cones at Dairy Queen?

Last weekend we made our annual trek to find a good field of wildflowers.  We had good luck getting out of town and driving to Ennis last year, so we made a return trip to the same path.  We saw the usual bluebonnets and indian paintbrush, but this year also saw an assortment of yellow flowers glowing on the roadside.   The yellow flowers were overtaken with photographers and their subjects, so we stuck with the classics.

After a brief 20 month hiatus, the blog is back.   We’re changing platforms and have moved the old blog here in case you want to relive the good times.  Emily will be editing as well, so perhaps that will increase the odds of activity.  Enjoy.
