Nana/Honey bought Madi a play makeup kit, and she and Ben had a great time trying it out. Here are a few photos showing the action, including licking the lip gloss off her lips.

From time to time, we’re given a concert by Ben and Madi while they’re here for their weekly time at Nana/Honey’s and Papa’s. Here are some shots from their last visit, complete with solos and showmanship!

This shot features Ben working in mixed media: Crayola brushes and stick on eyes. I want to learn again not to be so influenced by others’ opinions of what’s realistic or correct, and find the joy of creating in ways that are just plain fun.

I enjoy shooting with my Nikon D90 DSLR. I enjoy shooting with with my Nikon V1. I enjoy shooting with my iPhone. It’s not either/or. It’s a both/and kind of thing.
I enjoy processing photos with Lightroom and Photoshop. I enjoy processing photos on the iPad with Snapseed. I enjoy processing iPhone photos with Camera +. It’s not either/or. It’s a both/and kind of thing.
Too often we think there’s only one (best) way to do things. Maybe, if we we can get over taking ourselves too seriously, we’ll find out how much joy we’re missing by being so intent on finding the holy grail.

When you read the history of the Texas land grant plantations located around what is now Sugar Land and Missouri City, you rather quickly become appreciative of the changes that have occurred. The Brazos River bottoms were not very hospitable, to say the least. Mosquitos, floods, and more made the area almost inhabitable. But canals were dug, railroads were built, and hardy people persevered. Now, on the sites of these old plantations are some of the most desirable communities in the country. I love reading the history, but I’m sure glad the plantation we live on is a lot different than it was in the 1800′s.
