You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.

I headed out to McKinney this weekend to see some friends of mine compete in a chuckwagon cookout. It was really cool to see them cooking in dutch ovens and the wagons all decked out in authentic Old West items.

In anticipation of my upcoming visit to a big cat rescue organization. Thanks, Cindi!

I think everyone that has ever been in the West End with a camera has taken some variation of this shot. I don’t care. I love it. It’s one of my favorite views.

Root canals are no fun at all.
