Some kids will drive you right to the brink of insanity. Right to the extreme wit’s end. They will tie you up with the fraying end of your rope. They will take your very last nerve and stomp on it until you cry “Uncle”. And they will enjoy every second of it. And then just when you are ready to drown your sorrows in a pint of Blue Bell Butter Pecan, they smile at you and melt your heart faster than a single scoop cone dropped on the asphalt at high noon during the dog days of a West Texas summer.

That’s this kid. And when he offered, actually OFFERED of his own accord to let me take pictures of him today, I JUMPED at it!!! No really…I jumped. Ask him.

(I had to make sure to really show off those freckles. How cute are they??? I mean….um, they are not cute at all. Just like 11 year old boys are not cute at all. *wink wink wink*)

I love him. Love him forever to the 10th power.

Yes, I actually do often carry my camera with me when the hubs and I walk together in the evening. And I often stop and snap pictures of the gorgeous sunset. I never get tired of it. Tonight, I was so thrilled that one of my neighbor’s horses was out, and I took the opportunity to photograph her. She is just a beauty. The truth is, I was wishing I had left earlier, so I could have stayed longer. It was great to visit with my wonderful neighbor, too! Here’s hoping you find something beautiful the next time you head out for an evening walk. And even if you don’t have a camera, stop and take the time to capture the moment in your mind.
