HA! I crack myself up! Unfortunately it looks like I am not the first person to think of this hilarious pun.
Whoooaaaaa those are some pretty horses. Ha!
They mane-ly graze in the evening. Ha Ha!
I give you all permission to never speak to me again.
Yesterday John and I went to a state park near Omaha to do some hiking and just be outside. On the way there we stopped by a beautiful structure called the Holy Family Shrine. It's a church that was recently built on a hill amongst natural prairie grasses and wildflowers. It's open to visitors and we had been wanting to stop by and see it.
Normally there is a stream of water running through this crack in the walkway but they were working on it while we were there.
Water runs underneath the alter
Water runs in these holes under the pews
When we were back outside I bent down to take a picture of the church and realized my head was about 4 inches from this! That thing was at least 2 inches across. Guh-ross.
Later in the day, on the other side of town we saw this praying mantis
I think he was looking for the Holy Family Shrine.
Guess What?! I have another blog and it is ready for visitors.
I am in the process of building a photography portfolio of children and babies. My plan is to make it a part-time business and hopefully someday, a full-time business. So in the meantime, I have been shooting friends and family. But more recently the word is getting out and I am starting to get busy.
Go take a look!
Thursday's Theme at Picture This is "three". So I present you with...
Three shots of my three year old nephew, Paul
Last Wednesday John and I went to watch his dad Paul's band play. It's a dance band that plays big band music and Paul has been a member for about 45 years! The band itself was celebrating it's 60th year and the band leader's 80th birthday! There were about 200 people there and most of them were regulars who had been coming to see them for years. Not only that, but they all danced the entire time, and were still dancing when John and I left at 11:00! Wow.
I'm glad I got to see the band play because I know it has been a big part of their family for so long.

Yes, John and I Polka'd and Waltzed and Two-Stepped but I don't have any photos of it because I don't have a third arm. I guess you'll just have to imagine how fabulous of a dancer I am (hint: not at all).
Sorry to keep you waiting after the tease last week.
I have been doing some freelance graphic design at a company that's located in the Old Market area of downtown Omaha. It's a very old part of town (hence the name) and has amazing architecture and brick streets. There are old brick buildings that used to be warehouses and manufacturing plants that have been converted into restaurants, shops and lofts. It seems like Omaha is trying to preserve the history while giving the area more modern uses. Anyway, I absolutely love it down there and usually spend part of my lunch break every day walking around. About a week ago I walked around after work and took about a billion pictures. Lucky for you I edited them down a little but there are still a lot. So I am posting one of my favorites here, but go view the whole set here.
The Essence of Cool
This is also my pick for My Best Shot Monday.
More to come from this set...
