Vino 100

Last weekend a few friends and I went to Vino 100. Loved this place! We tried 7 different wines (Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, etc) between the 8 of us and the Cabernet Sauvignon pictured was my favorite. Granted I am partial to the cabernet anyway and this one did not fail me. Of course with wine, comes good cheese and good conversation. My favorite part of the evening was watching the McKinney Ave trolley go by. Just seeing it inspired me for a possible photography session. A bride riding an empty trolley car...she's standing on the edge of it with bouquet in hand. Just imagine how beautiful that picture could be. One day I will take this picture.

Farmers Market

Big Girl Camera has been purchased!!!

I have finally upgraded from my Canon PowerShot SD750 to a Canon Rebel XSi. I am SUPER excited! It was an impulse buy with thought if that makes any sense. I was driving back home after spending Mothers Day with my mom and I was thinking about taking pictures as I was driving home. I've been interested in photography for some time, but haven't really focused too much on it b/c I didn't have a "real" camera. So I was telling John how much I wish I had a better camera and he says "lets go buy one!" That's all the push I needed. We went to Best Buy and the rest is history. :)

West End

Last night I was out and about with some friends. This was taken on the cusp of the West End and Uptown. The Bank of America building aka the green building to everyone else looms in the background. This building and Reunion Tower are the 2 most identifying landmarks for Downtown and always gives me a sense of comfort. There's just something magical about this city.

Uptown Dallas

Uptown has been my home for almost 2 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. There are so many bars, restaurants, shopping boutiques...you name it, Uptown's got it. You can meet friends for brunch at Original, have a burger at Jakes, and then dance the night away at Tribeca. It reminds me alot of the King Street area of Alexandria, VA or the Georgetown area in DC. There's so much life all around and it's going to get even livelier as the temperature starts to rise. Bring on the summer days!!
