Pure Photography

Being a born and bred Texas girl, two of my favorite words have always been “snow day!”  My next two favorite words as a student was “no school!”  Today was just that here in Abilene, TX!  At first I thought, “wow, what a great day to spend at my computer and get caught up on a heavy workload.”  Hmmm…..nah!  So, Mark and I hit the road and had a blast photographing the beauty of this winter day!

Started out the day over at the hills behind ACU Smith-Adams dorms where I found some students, an ACU prof and some families out skiing, sledding and snowboarding!  (could we have Olympic fever, perhaps?)

My favorite poem that I memorized as a young student was “Stopping By the Woods On A Snowy Evening,” by Robert Frost.  That was for sure on my mind today as I journeyed thru these West Texas woods!

I posted on my Facebook page that if anyone wanted a family picture in front of their home to call me!  Look at these sweet faces that didn’t waste any time contacting me!

We returned home…cold and wet….and LOVING my snow day!  But, I wasn’t quite finished.  I’m also quite fond of the beautiful birds we attract in our backyard.  This cardinal was amazing in brilliant red!

Finally, this last one I took from inside my house.  Precious mourning doves were huddled close together on my back patio!  Love them!
