Life in a Small Town – Flowers!

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

We thought you might enjoy seeing some beauty on this Tax Day Eve!

One of the best things about our local Farmers Market is the flowers. Every week Shannon picks out some gorgeous flowers and makes them into arrangements for herself (and if we’re lucky, for her family too!)

I hope this little bit of beauty has put a smile on your face today!

Life in a Small Town – Our Farmers’ Market

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Every Saturday, our small town hosts a wonderful Farmers’ Market. I start every Saturday morning with a trip to the market. You never know what wonderful things you might find! Just look at these gorgeous fruits and veggies!

Don’t these strawberries just scream “SUMMER” to you??

Almost makes you want to eat healthy, doesn’t it?

Life in a Small Town

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

As I’ve mentioned before, I live in a wonderfully small town. It’s the type of town where you can’t go to the grocery store without seeing someone you know – which is never a good thing when you’re in your pajamas on a Saturday morning and realize you have no milk for your cereal.

This town is full of great moments for photography. I thought it would be fun to feature some photos from my small town on the blog. So here it begins, the first installment of “Life in a Small Town.”

This first photo is of our local, historic train station. For many years, our small town was best known as the winter home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The circus would arrive in town by train and stay here for the cold winter months. Sadly, the circus train no longer comes roaring into this station, but I can only imagine the excitement that surrounded this place on those days.

The train station is now a beautiful landmark of our city – and a great place for a photoshoot, as you might remember!

Stay tuned for more from “Life in a Small Town”!

Budweiser Clydesdales

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

You never know what you might find in our small town! Guess who showed up recently?

That’s right – the Budweiser Clydesdales!! A huge crowd showed up to see them. We watched them get unloaded off the truck, brushed, harnessed and hooked to the rig. These horses are MASSIVE. Seriously, the pictures don’t even begin to adequately portray the size of these beautiful horses!

Aren’t they beautiful?

The horses all came out with a quiet crowd….but after they were all hooked up, they brought out Bud (the dalmation) and everyone cheered! He was the star of the show!

This is actually the second time this year that they’ve been to our small town. It was such a big hit last time that they decided to bring them back! We hope to see them again soon! (more…)
