SPRING HAS SPRUNG

I love the Spring.  New life blooming everywhere, and I get to exercise my green thumb again after resting it over the Winter.

Yesterday I awoke to a gorgeous sunrise after an overnight Spring shower had dotted our garden in raindrops and felt so inspired, I just had to run for my camera...

EXPLORING THE LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD - AUSTIN, TEXAS

I've been M.I.A. recently... and, I am happy to report that the reason for my online absence was due to a much-needed vacation.  It was time to get away, switch off the ol' noggin and soak up some American culture in the Lone Star State.

Tim and I celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary last Saturday, April 9th with a week-long adventure to Austin, Texas - the 'Live Music Capital of the World'. We loved it. Because, with all of that music, Texas BBQ, cold beer and sunshine - what's not to love?!  Plus, it's full of surprises around every corner that make for some great photo ops...
