some needed beauty...

While the grief of my losing my Dad feels more real today than it has so far..

I needed to lighten things up today around here!

I took these pictures right before my trip home to Dallas when my Dad got sick.

I had planned to post them a month ago, but clearly other things took priority.

So I am excited to share them today...

just a little impromptu attempt at being a "professional" photographer! :)

these beauties bring joy to my heart.

very needed joy.

gorgeous, right?

Love y'all.
