Black and White

This poor blog has been so neglected. But I finally have some photos to feed it!

My friend Vickie (Nature's Details) invited me to participate in a 5-day Black & White photo challenge on Facebook. Not one to turn down a challenge (if I know it's going to be good for me), I accepted.

Here are the results. 

You'll see there are more then five photos. The challenge forced me to take lots and lots of photos, because it opened my photographer eyes once again. Thanks, Vickie!

On a Thursday In Austin, Texas

I spent most of Thursday in Austin, 

running errands with my daughter, 

hanging out in a genealogy library to pass the time, 

having dinner with my son, 

and then attending a magazine writing panel 

hosted by the Writer's League of Texas.

Naturally, I had my camera with me.

I hope the folks above don't care that I snapped their photos.

Like I had nothing better to do than play with this photo this week.

Which one do you like the best?

We ate at Opal Divine's. 

The food was really good...

...and so was the scenery.

I fell in love with these little faces!

This building looked really, really old. 

I hope someone salvages it.

I love living in (well, near) Austin!
