Photos of the Week: Week 14

Sorry I am late getting this up....it has been a CRAZY weekend! You know that the sheep sale went on, but trust me, that wasn't close to the craziest thing that went on as you'll read about below. Anyway, we have quite a variety of pictures, hopefully you enjoy! I'd love to hear your comments on which one is your favorite!


Theme: April Showers

Sadly y'all, this picture is going to fill you in on some of the drama. We haven't had ANY April Showers....so things are scary dry back home. This picture shows you how dangerous the situation is. A huge grass fire started on Saturday afternoon. My family and our neighbors spent hours on fire trucks, lost a lot of pasture land, and will be spending a lot of time re-building fences, but we were so lucky to come out with no structure damage and no injuries to people or animals. Please say a prayer for rain soon! Also, I am linking this up with Happy Monday, so be sure to go over and check out all the other entires at Allie Photography!

Theme: Wedding
Because there was no time to squeeze in a wedding this weekend, I hit up the archives and found this picture from the Trevi Fountain that I took during my post-bar vacation. I love this picture, because these two are surrounded by hundreds of tourists, but they acted like they were the only people in the place.

Theme: Excitement

My friend Little Cowboy was at my house this weekend and after all of the fire drama, he was pretty excited when I let him use the hose on the fire truck and try on this helmet. What a face!

Theme: In Motion


I took this picture a little while back while out driving on Sunday. It is actually someone's entryway sign for their horse farm, but I love how it looks like they are running against the sky (mind you this was right after I watched Secertariat for the first time....I had race horses on the brain!)
Theme: Don't Ever Change
I got this shot while I was home a couple weeks back. It's off an old farm implement that sits in one of our pastures. I love that our land has been involved in agriculture for so long, and I sure hope it never changes!

Theme: Romans 8:28


I originally had another photo planned for this weeks' verse, but after the fire situation, I knew I would be making a little change. The situation could have been so much worse. There were a lot of people thanking God for his protection on Saturday! Check out other people's takes on this verse here!

Great pictures.

We are having fires where I live as well. I'll pray you get rain if you pray for us.

So glad that the fire was not worse. I really like the kiddo with the helmet and the "Never Change" photo.
