Photography Friday

Just a few pictures from around Vicenza for you guys to enjoy.



These are the mountains you can see from our apartment, however when I take pictures from our apartment they don't come out as good as this, so I made Sean drive like five minutes away so I could get a better view.



A church in downtown Vicenza



I just love the details on these buildings



A grand view down a side street.



I'm not sure what building this is, but it's in one of the main squares of Vicenza.



Obviously I should start paying attention to what the name is of buildings that I photograph!



Not sure who Pippy and Tommy are, but it made for an interesting picture.



I loved this bridge, it was one of a couple we crossed, but the most picturesque.

Did I mention I now have Internet at home? *Picturing me singing in operatic voice...Hallelujah!*

Ciao!

Now for the Pictures...

As promised, here are the pictures from our weekend. I hope you enjoy!

First stop is Natchitoches!


I love taking pictures of this church, I cannot get enough of it!


Corvettes have always been my favorite



I liked this one too


Isn't he the cutest?


Finally! What I came to Natchitoches for


Here it is: The house they used in Steel Magnolias, it's now a bed and breakfast.


One of the churches had a pumpkin patch out front, I wanted one, but decided to wait.


I told you I saw a creepy, just purchased hearse. I didn't include the pictures of the guy as they didn't come out well.


Looking across the river at Shreveport


There were gorgeous flowers at the Boardwalk too!


Sean hates taking pictures, hence why he always looks angry in them.


Not me though! I love cheesin it up for the camera.


The day wouldn't be complete without some alligators.


Oh and as a sidenote, guess how many calories those delicious rolls at Logan's have? 227 calories PER roll! They're going to be my downfall.

Pictures and other plans

Lots of things for me to mention today!

First of all, a big, huge, thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Mojito for kindly tweaking my html code to clean up my columns a bit. They have no idea how much I appreciate that!

Secondly, here are a few pictures of the apple tart that I promised yesterday. Again, I apologize because they aren't the best quality, I'm having some problems with the close-up aspect of my camera.





Yes, there is a slice gone and some apples gone from up top. It was hard keeping Sean and I out of the tart before I remembered to take pictures.

I also got the picture of the dry cleaning place. Enjoy!



One more picture, this is one of my favorites that I took this weekend. I really love our old courthouse and it makes a great photography subject.



I get paid today! Yay! Which means I'm taking myself to Alexandria tomorrow after to work to hit up Hobby Lobby and the mall. Forever 21 and Limited here I come! Sean will be watching the Cubs game tomorrow night so he won't need any entertaining and I can shop to my hearts desire. I thought about going Saturday, but Sean asked if I wanted to go to Shreveport this Saturday so I jumped on that.

Last night I took Boomer on a walk around the golf course on-post and he loved it! I don't walk him as much as I should and he really enjoyed all the new sights, sounds and smells at the golf course. He even let a random lady pet him which is big for Boomer. He normally isn't into people touching him that he doesn't know, but this lady loved him! He doesn't usually walk for long distances and the golf course track is about 2.2 miles so towards the end he jumped up and had me carry him. Thank god that was only for about a quarter of a mile. My little Min-Pin is kind of heavy! It really wore him out though, so by the time we got home he was ready to sleep.

Anyone watch Dancing with the Stars last night? Misty May-Treanor continues to blow me away. I am so suprised that she is as good as she is. Kim Kardashian failed to impress once again and Cloris Leachman just scares me.

Wordless Wednesday

The top picture is one of my favorite pictures that I have ever taken. I don't normally take pictures of people, but children are an exception.

He's Home!

Sean came home from the field late Sunday afternoon. It was good to see him again, although I have to say it wasn't great to smell him. Four days of no showers made him less than appealing.

We spent the rest of the night cuddling and watching TV, so I'd have to say my weekend ended well.

I did go to Alexandria on Sunday and buy some new clothes. Forever 21 and The Limited got a good chunk of my money, but I really did need new work clothes. Especially some new pants. I had two pairs of nice, black dress pants and those are pretty loose on me. I got some cute stuff though and I wore one of my new outfits today. I felt very "Working Girl" esque.

The pictures I took in Leesville Saturday didn't turn out as well as I hoped. For one the lighting wasn't quite right because it was cloudy, but I'll share one of the pictures with you anyway.



Dinner tonight was actually decent for no thought going into it. Sean won't be off work until 8:00 and I was starving so I used some leftover hamburger meat, tossed in some cut up onions and Portabello mushrooms, put that on one slice of bread with some feta cheese on top and Wha La! Delish! I'm obsessed with feta cheese. I love to eat on my salads and I recently got some that has basil and tomato in it. So good! I highly recommend it.

Well..I'm off to go run before Sean is off work. Hope your Monday was great!
