A Dunkin Donuts Kind of Day!

Last week I left the house earlier than my normal. On my drive I was amazed at how pretty the scenery looked. This was truly an inspiration for me to keep leaving at this time every morning. After completing my errands before heading into work, I treated myself to some delicious Dunkin Donuts!

Photographing people is what I do. It’s very enjoyable. However these past several months I have been drawn to landscape photography. This is so new to me. Seeing the same places in different times of the day and noticing how the lighting makes the same view look different. Sounds funny, however a new inspiration has overcome me and I find I am once again excited to carry my camera all the time.

A Wonderful Day.

Today was a fun and memorable day. For my husband it began as a typical weekend day, getting up from the cozy, comfortable bed and preparing to go visit the girls at 6:30 am. This is not the typical for me, I generally roll out of the same bed at 8 am on Saturday mornings. Well today, I did the non-typical. I joined Kevin and went to visit his girls.

First he fed them a bit of grain. Then he loaded them up in the trailer to visit the vet for vaccinations and the such. The Vet’s office is a busy office Saturday morning. Met a few new faces. Enjoyed hearing their stories. While visiting with the other’s I noticed the wonderful view of the mailbox. After the girl’s were taken care of, we loaded them back up and brought them home.

Kevin invited me to lunch. We went to Chunkie Dunkers on the north side of the square in Oskaloosa, KS. Really good food, I recommend their food and service.
