you can’t live

in Texas

and not partake

in this

tradition.

bluebonnets

are amazing

in their own right,

but throw a lake

and some

sunlight

into the mix

and it’s down right

magical.

month two | I’m so excited about a new personal project I’m undertaking, Film Fridays. The last Friday of each month will be a personal post showcasing a roll of film I shot during the month. I’ve teamed up with some amazing women from Bloom so we may challenge each other as we explore this medium. Some of us (myself included) have been shooting film forever, others are developing their first rolls…but we all have a love for capturing life, for stretching ourselves, and for finding the soul in a subject.

these boys are

obsessed

with airplanes.

I found this old

vintage

airplane museum

in fort worth

and we set out for a

family fun day.

to say they loved it

would be

the understatement of

the year.

every day since

at least one boy

has asked

for a

return trip…

soon,

sweet boys,

soon.

having lived here

more than 20 years,

I’m Texan

for sure.

but I don’t do the

State Fair

or Big 12/SEC athletics.

I don’t have big hair,

own cattle,

or live on a ranch.

when it comes to

wildflower season,

however,

I couldn’t be

more

Texan.

this year

my boys

have played in,

and mama’s documented,

indian paintbrush,

mustard weed,

red bonnets,

and the all-too-famous

bluebonnets.

it’s a Texan right of passage,

and one my boys

will experience

year after year.
