Having a bit of fun...

My husband is a HUGE Dallas Cowboy fan. I made this up for a wallpaper for his desktop on the computer it's almost that time of year, ARGH!...Michael was cracking up and Fred really liked it...I put his name on it too but didn't want to post it on here...so it actually looks a bit better...But I wanted to show you the fun we had tonight....still laughing at the sunglasses...too funny!!

The Moon...

I had a friend last night (Weds. night) that said she had problems getting a decent shot of the moon...Then her neighbor was checking her out so she had to go explain that she was NOT playing peeping Tom but taking photos of the moon, LOL...but it made me think since I've had the Rebel Xti I hadn't even attempted photos of the moon. I took some pretty good ones with my Canon Powershot S3IS...So tonight (Thurs.) I went outside to see what I could come up with...I also think this will make a pretty sweet extraction...It wasn't as good as I would have liked and I think maybe next time I'll try a different lens. Tonight I used the Sigma 70-300mm Telephoto. I also used a tripod and a remote shutter release.

On another note we have a lot of changes going on in our life. I can't go into detail but I consider it a new chapter opening for us. I was not too happy about it at first but I pray and hope things will be okay and life for us will be good! It's a great opportunity for my husband and in the mean time Michael and I will hold down the fort here at home! I should have plenty of time for photos, scrapbooking and blogging and that is always a positive!

God has a reason for everything!

Home is where you hang your heart.

I don't know why but I've always been drawn to the Great State of Texas...The LoneStar State. So glad I finally made it!

This is my Home and where my heart belongs!

Burt our rooster!

Burt you are such a lover boy. I’ve never had a pet rooster. I’ve seen them and thought it was a bit weird, as I have had roosters before but they were Not pets. All I have to do is kneel down and call you and you come running! You love having your head petted, silly bird! You have 4 girls (hens) to yourself and strut around the yard showing your stuff. So far they take no notice of your casanova ways.
