In The Middle of Nowhere!

I took a trip to Arizona weekend before last to visit two high School friends of mine. Peggy, lives in Anchorage but travels down to Arizona in the winter to run her horse riding business. Reta, lives in California. I seem to see Peggy every 2 – 6 years, depending on what’s going on and where we happen to be. Reta, I haven’t seen her in 31 years.

We also pitched in and helped Peggy do some running around and moving items, as that was her last weekend in Arizona. She has a long haul back to Anchorage with horses in tow. A long haul I’d love to drive some day! I can only imagine the beauty traveling through Canada!

I searched online for a map within Washington County and came across a wonderful ‘Bluebonnet Trail’ guide which we followed. We drove out Hwy 290 towards Brenham, east of Austin. Just past the Brazos River there

Railroad Tracks

I had this vision for a while to do a session like this with a little boy. Problem was, parents eyes would bug out when I said "railroad tracks". And I do fully understand their concern. Hard to describe this scene when you have no images to show a sample of.

I have been waiting for the perfect weather to take Jayden out for a similar session. Of course, not too hot, and not too cold, but also wanted a cloudy day. Two days before they were scheduled to move back to North Carolina, my prayers were answered.

With a pair of overalls in hand, his little red fishing pole, and a red bandana stuffed with newspapers tied to the tip of his pole, we drove up to the railroad tracks.

We had a wonderful time, and caused quite a bit of a traffic jam. One guy yelled out "That's cute, I really like that."

Here are the
